Thread: This is a photo request for Irish Chains of all kinds....

I want to make an Irish Chain soon. I'd love for everyone to post ones they've made here. :thumbup: 8) Would you tell me if it's single, double, or triple when you do? :wink:

I can't post a photo... I don't have one (yet).

They 'can' be easy. I have the booklet "Time for a Chain" by Nancy J Smith & Lynda S Milligan. It was very, very helpful with pressing directions and peicing info. This was my first Irish chain.
Here is the TRIPLE that I did a few years ago. King size for my sister.

King size Triple Irish Chain

grammy that is just beautiful! It sucks you in the way only a quilt can! :) Karla, don't forget about that beautiful Chain Terri did with the cardinal fabric. Let me see if I can find it. :)

It's right here http://www.quiltingboard.com/posts/list/11314.page So purrrdy!

Oh gosh I love them!! I think my confidence is having seams match is stronger due to my new machine.

grammy--that is some quilt!! I love your color choices. :D

Terri's is a single and it's all based on how many fabrics are in the pieced square?

Here's the link to my first (and only so far) single chain.

This thread has a picture of my double irish chain I made several years ago. It isn't hard to do at all.

here is my one and only irish chain. i used the eleanor burns book. IRISH CHAIN IN A DAY. easy instructions for single double and triple. good luck. can't wait to see yours.

This was done the 'hard' way... by hand...
people want to know if 'hand quilting' is dead or whatever... I say,
"been there, done that, got the t-shirt, - put it in a quilt"....

I have soooo much more fun doing stuff the 'easy' way and on the machines now....
