So I have friends that are getting married on Oct. 9 and I want to make a quilt for them - well I just found out about this wedding about a week ago - I started making a log cabin quilt but the fabric I used wasn't working - so I decided to can that idea and went to the LQS and decided to do a double irish chain quilt. Thursday I picked out fabric and today starting the cutting and piecing - just wanted to see if I can do this before the wedding - so I will post my progress as I go along. Here is todays blocks - I have completed 8 of these and have the fabric and strips sewn for another 8 so tomorrow back at it. Wish me luck... :thumbup:

looking good, can't wait to see the finished quilt

Very nice progress and blocks.

You've got a week. Go Girl, Go.

Looking great...good progress...I think it's going to be a beaut!

Love the colors you've chosen. Can't wait to see this come together :)

Luck is wished, please update us on your progress, it's going to be beautiful.

we will be waiting to see your progress. love the blue:)

Very Pretty! I am looking forward to seeing more :D:D:D

You can do this. Good start! Love your block & the colors chosen. Will be watching for more.

Great job! Beautiful fabrics!

If it were me doing it, I'd most likely get the top done, but not the quilting. Of course I do most of my quilting by hand too so that takes longer. (Well, not really, because if I try to do it by machine there's all the UNdoing to do!)

Great job so far. You can do it!

Very nice so far!

The colors are great.

I thought I was the only one who did things at the last minute. Nice to meet someone else who does.

Very pretty

love the colors can't wait to see it done

ooooo......I'm really looking forward to seeing the completed quilt! I really love the colors you selected! :thumbup:

It will be beautiful and only you will know if you can get it finished in time.
I seem to work pretty good under pressure.
Good luck and just keep going.

The double Irish Chain is my favorite. pattern. Yours looks like it will be wonderful. I can't wait to see it finished. Keep us posted.

Oh my...good luck!! We will be here as your cheering section!!! Go..Go...go-go-go!!!

Well, made some progress on Saturday - Sunday woke up with a migraine and halted all work - it is now 4:00 a.m. and I am wide awake - no sewing until everyone is out of bed. I will try to post progress later today.

fabulous colours! good luck

It is going to be beautiful.

I was always under the impression that you have a year to get a wedding present to the couple, so don't rush it!

Wow, so with just a week to complete this quilt are sewing from sun up to sun down? Also are you doing the quilting yourself as well? My hat is off to you. I would love to see the finished product. As said before GO GIRL GO!!!

I think this is going to be a stunning looking quilt! It can be a bit stressful trying to get such a large project done in such a short time frame, but I think you'll be able to do it! Just thought you'd like to know we're cheering you on! Let us know how you're doing when you come up for air on occasion!

;)

Very pretty! Looking forward to seeing the finished quilt.
