Here's my Double Irish Chain, Karla. Made in honor of my paternal grandmother who was proud of her Irish heritage. All the fabrics are shamrocks except the one solid kelly green. The dark green shamrock print has teeeeny tiny yellow blossoms, so that is why I used the yellow piping/quarter-inch border and the yellow prairie points. The back is also a shamrock fabric, but different from the front.

It is quilted with shamrocks in each of the solid squares, a ring of shamrocks in the large spaces, and bunches of shamrocks in the outer borders. Somewhere in the quilt my LAQ hid one 4-leaf clover at my request.

I gave this quilt to my paternal aunt and thought these were the only photos I had of the quilt. But I came across some more while I was packing that shows it on a bed and a good close-up of the shamrock quilting. Now, if I only knew what box I put them in! :?
