A lot of quilts do end up getting their name personalized. One example is the baby quilt I'm working on. It's a traditional Irish Chain design, but the squares are made up of 1 1/4 inch postage stamp squares and 3 1/2 inch solid squares. My squares result in the quilt not forming the traditional 12 inch blocks, the end up being 9 inch blocks. And certain fabrics in the quilt are sentimental, belonging to the baby's grandfather who has passed away. And including those fabrics resulted in the quilt having to be a "scrappy" quilt. Thus, when the quilt gets finished, and I do intend to post pictures of it, it's name will be altered. It will be __________________'s Irish Chain, or that's my intentions right now.
Historically many diffrent quilt patterns were known by several diffrent names. I'm slightly obsessed with both quilting and history, so I spent months learning about the history of diffrent quilt patterns. It was both fascinating and enlightning.
