This afternoon I had a few quiet minutes to myself so I hurried and put the binding on this flowery irish chain quilt.
This is the third irish chain quilt that I've made this year and it's safe to say that this pattern is now one of my go-to favorites. It whips up so quickly and it is a great way to use up any 2.5" or 3" squares (or strips) that you may have on hand.
2024 edited to add: There's now a free PDF quilt pattern available for this quilt! I offer this as a gift for all of my newsletter subscribers and you can access it here.
It's a fast and fun, jelly roll friendly quilt pattern that you're going to love!

As I was doing the binding I decided that this is pink plaid one of my most favorite binding prints. I've used it on two different quilts now, and I have enough yardage left to use it on maybe two more bindings! (All of the prints used on this quilt are from the Chance of Flowers line by Sandy Gervais)
This quilt got the "swirly ribbons" treatment for quilting design. I've been doing so many variations of swirls lately that somewhere mid-quilt I think I started doing kind of a loopy-swirl thing but then I got myself back on track. Haha!
The finished measurements are 53" x 60" and now I think I'll give it a wash to let it get all nice and crinkly!
very cute. I love the colors! And the binding??? I can see why you love it! To die for :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt. I just recently bought a bunch of the 2 1/2 inch mini charm packs. This looks like it would be perfect to use them on. Have you done a tutorial or did you find this quilt pattern somewhere else? I'd love to take a peek at it. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Irish chain is on my list - I find it just looks so good with fabric choices I have seen out there, definitely a fave of mine!!!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to make an Irish chain and thought it was to hard till I saw how you make yours:) Now I really do have to make one! And I agree, that plaid in Chance of Flowers is lovely.. I think I have used it a couple times as well..I also have some yardage in my stash:)
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty!
ReplyDeleteSo simple yet so pretty!
