I love the finished quilts that have been posted the last few days! I'm only seeing them now because I was on holiday without internet access (oh, gasp, the horror!).

The good thing about being away for a week: I finally (after a year and a half!!) finished all 50 blocks I needed to piece for my Irish Chain quilt. So this month I am going to focus on piecing the blocks together as well as the border. The goal for June is to finish the top.

The only problem I've got now is that some of the fabric - precut blocks that go in between the pieced ones as well as the border sashing - has been stored for so long that in some of them are pretty heavy creases. I hope I can get them out by ironing the fabric, because I am afraid that if I have to wash them to get the creases out, the pieces will fray so much they'll end up to small. (Lesson learned: do NOT leave a pieces of a top lying around for so long again.)
