I just finished the blocks for my Scrappy Irish Chain. It is all over the family room floor waiting for inspection before I pin the blocks for sewing. Ooops, just saw the extra chain block in the corner where an alternate block should be. I guess it is good for the blocks sit for a minute before moving them along to the next step.
Green Crumbs are on the frame. The quilting on that is about half done I think. I did a little bit during the week, but there wasn't much time.
The bow-ties are my biggest dilemma though. I ran out of the cheddar background fabric and need to decide what to use for the setting triangles. I bought a green that I thought might work, and then found a cream with cheddarish flowers on it. I also entertained the thought of doing a medley of different colors to match the colors of each row. I'm not sure where to head with this one honestly. I guess I will wait for inspiration to strike. It has been up forever though and I'd like to get the rows put together soon.
It is great to have a wide open weekend and time to putter. For once I don't even have a stack of papers and lesson plans waiting. With that thought in mind, I'll go decide what is next.
It's a wonderful irish chain quilt. I love the corner you've made. It's a special corner for a gorgeous quilt.

ReplyDeleteI've been in a mood for an Irish Chain recently too.
ReplyDeleteFor the bowties...what about two triangles to make up a setting triangle...one of the colour of the diagonal row above and one of the colour of the diagonal row below. Do you know what I mean?
