So the solid-color X would be the chain part of the Irish chain... with a random scrappy background. (although my husband seemed to think I should make the X chain out of paisley for some reason... I think solid is a better way to go)
Awful idea? Or just crazy enough to work?
Hi romille, this is my last controlled scrap. I made it with 2.5" x 1.5" scraps and strips and a neutral tan fabric.
