I really like Irish Chains too, but my "cutting days" are limited because of bad hands. That is why I spent the money for jelly rolls. While we were home to get visas this month, I helped my daughter and granddaughter make a Triple Irish Chain for one of the other granddaughters, and it was definitely not easy to keep the blocks the same size. Of course we were using 1.5" blocks and that about doubled our chances that the points would not match. You have no idea how many times we had to pick out whole rows and re-stitch them!

I could bite the bullet and make a double Irish Chain and use the strips as they are. Then the blocks in the middle could be the charm pack squares or white either one. Hmmmm... Something to consider.
