Irish Chain Quilts




A few months back, we cut this fabric into 4.5” squares and made a whole lotta 9 patches:


So many, in fact, that when sewn together it was a KING SIZED quilt. Since quilting that large of a quilt sounds like no fun, we unpicked that quilt into two smaller quilts, each measuring  57” x 66”.



 The machine quilting was simple: swirly loops for both. 



The quilts are not exactly identical, but would make a cute pair. 


 


 
Irish chain quilts are very traditional, and it was fun to use modern fabrics to mix things up a bit. So there you go. Two matching quilts.
