The quilt pattern is from the Eleanor Burns book "Single Irish Chain in a Day". I used my embroidery software to scan the Shamrock included in the book and digitized the Shamrock. First time I had tried to do this and everything happened as it should. There are 15 plain blocks in the quilt. I used my 100 by 100 mm hoop. Each Shamrock was placed as close as possible to each corner. This meant I rehooped the quilt 60 times. The Shamrocks are tilted in different directions because I didn't want to worry about being uniform. Some stems are toward the center of the block and some stems are to the corner.
Sorry it took me so long to answer your question. I was looking for the book and could not find it. Had to find the photo and count the blocks.
