It's just what I'm looking for! I just need the ideas. I have yet to make that pattern. Thanks so much!

Here's the larger picture of the "scrappy" double Irish chain I made in a huge size (too big, as it turns out ... 120x120). I put scrappy in quotes because I purchased the scraps, mostly charm squares, to get the look I wanted. The pattern is from Eleanor Burns, and I had it professionally quilted (cost about $700 for the custom quilting).

I also made some coordinating pillow shams using my Rob Peter to Pay Paul accuquilt dies.
