I have many scrapy four patches made with muslin and scraps. Is there a way to make an Irish Chain of sorts with four patches? Any other suggestions?
They are 2 1/2" squares, which makes for 4" finished block. |
I'm planning on doing just that. Maybe it's not technically an Irish Chain but I think it will be a nice design.

http://www.quiltville.com/leadersenders.shtml Check out the scrappy Double Irish chain. I'm fascinated by the idea. |
:love: the blue diamond one!!! :D

I was just looking at this yesterday...She uses a four patch and combines the 4 patch...let me see if I can find the link. I decided to try to do it with some 2.5" squares I'll create out of strips, etc. http://www.quiltville.com/leadersenders.shtml Check out the scrappy Double Irish chain. I'm fascinated by the idea. I like her ideas. I just don't know if I can make mine come out like that or not. I'll have to study it more. Thank you for sharing this with me. |
Thanks for the link. This is something I will use.

sounds beautiful

I think what you have would make a great Irish Chain!! You must have read my mind b/c I was thinking about that very pattern today. I love it set on point.
|
if you have a photo of one you like but no actual pattern, just draw lines 1/2 way across the center and top to center. then make 1/4 of the quilt design -four times. then you have the whole quilt.
have fun!! |
I am working on mine now. It is oh, so scrappy and muslin. To me this is better than going out and buying fabric for a quilt -- using what is staring me in the face every day.
This is part of my cleaning and organizing endeavor. |

Here's a picture of the one I'm working on. It alternates two 4-patch and two plain blocks. My grand daughter has claimed this one. She's a teenager in her purple phase.
