    Default Pattern suggestion please for 3 inch squares

    I picked up a baggie of 3" squares that are a blue and white check at a yard sale last year. DH and I counted them this morning and there are 352 of them. I would love to make a blue and white Triple Irish Chain Quilt with just the checked squares and white fabric. I have been on the Internet and Quilter's Cache and they all have patterns of at least 3 colors to accent the chain. The blue is a different color so it would be hard to match with my stash, I looked this morning. Any suggestions ? BTW: that baggie of fabric was only $1.00, probably sold cheap as the cuts are not all on the line.

    Why not just make a single irish chain quilt instead.

    Try the free pattern tab at http://www.quiltville.blogspot.ca I am thinking Split 9 Patch might be one.

    I just looked at EB Irish Chain book and she had a Double Irish chain done in two colors.
