Irish Chain Finish

Irish Chain
42 x 54
It's a finish! 


Last year I received a very long row of six inch Nine Patches and squares plus some Nine Patches. I took apart the long row and I think I was able to get two shorter rows for a kiddo sized quilt.  

Then I used the Nine Patches with dark corners I received, made a few Nine Patches with dark corners from my scraps and cut some 6.5 inch squares from some neutral bits and pieces and assembled a top in June 2024. 

I quilted it with light gray thread on my sewing machine with diagonal lines through all blocks. 


The back and binding. 

And sew on...

Just as the white Amaryllis blooms started to fade red and white blooms opened on three Amaryllis. Oh joy!

  3. Pretty quilt for a cold Monday morning. The Amaryllis blooms are beautiful. I just set one of mine in a crock today because it was getting too tall and top heavy.

  4. It is 5 here, and so those amaryllis look particularly wonderful. The quilt is a gem also.
