First of all this is a very colorful and pretty Irish chain! Sending it out to be quilt could be a lot of fun on this one. I have yet to send one out successfully so I can only imagine the beautiful job that can be done one it. I would check with your LQS first for a local quilter. I sent one quilt out one time and never got it back! So I was burned. I am considering taking one to a local quilter as soon as I get it finished being pieced. Like you I am excited about the possibility
Doing it yourself could also be a lot of fun. Cross lines would look perfect. Again this one will be beautiful.
