I STARTED SEWING TODAY. I think I know what my problem was/is. I love the idea of the double irish chain, I think I'm not loving the colors I picked. This is for my mother and her colors are very 70's (gold's, browns, some blue). My friend helped me pick the fabric, and I didn't know about them, but I have to use them. Hopefully when I get it put together I will like it. I know my mom will love it no matter what, so at least I don't have to worry about that. I will post some pictures when I get some of it done.
