[quote=Baren*eh*ked_canadian]K, so ideally, I would have wanted an extra row to make it rectangular, but I'm running out of patience and time, since this is a Christmas gift, and I have yet to do the borders, and put it together (obviously), AND I have a whole other quilt to make for my in-laws (!). So, I think I'm just going to leave it square. There will be an extra 12 inches all around since I'm putting a 4 and a 2 inch border on it, in plain blue and red, so basically it will be about 70" x 70"... that's ok to go on the back of a sofa, right?
Anyway, folks, let me know what you all think of it :) (be nice, I'm still a noob )
ok, second attempt at adding pics.... ACK it's huge, sorry!
OK> I"m not much of a "noob" :lol: but I don't know anything about the Irish Chain. Recently, I was just asking someone ifan Irish Chain always came out square. Well, your statement that you would have "wanted an extra row to make it a rectangle" makes me wonder. Is there a "formula" about the number of "rows"? As you can see I am very ignorant on this topic. :oops:
