Tim, I'm working on a trip. Irish chain and it feels very familar so I had to come look at your again. Yep it looks very much the same, mine is barely blue, blue and bluer! How big were your strips? they look a bigger than my 2" ones and my queen size will have 40 of the big blocks, mine are 5". I'll have to find some celtic designs since this is for my FIL. All I have is girly stuff!
