I made the triple irish chain by E.Burns twice and used 2 1/2 inch squres . I like having the blocks fit the top of the bed with a border. The 3 1/2" blocks would have been too big for the top. Here is mine

I am also taking a class this coming weekend for the irish chain, the instructions I got were for the 2 1/2" strips. In checking, most patterns I've found were for the 2 1/2" but I would think it would be your preferance

Hi Bonnie,
Visually I think the 2.5 inch squares will give you the most pop. The attached quilt is one of my UFO's-it only needs binding. It will go to my first grandchild, hence I am calling it my 'bait' quilt!! Take care and enjoy your quilt, Irish Chain is a lot of fun. Bonnie
