how did you do this beautiful quilt? I would be interested to know how I can get a copy of the pattern?

Thanks

Finally I put them in separate brown lunch bags and wrote Med and Dark on the side. Now, all I have to do is reach inside the bag and pull out a square. Keeps me from trying to color coordinate them. It is truly scrappy. I have 8 blocks finished, 102 to go. I haven't done the Double Irish Chain before and I think I'm really going to like it. I'll post pictures when the top is finished.

It's not a quilt yet, just a start. I googled Double Irish Chain and found a pattern I liked. However, it was strip pieced and I already had lots of 2 1/2 inch squares cut out so I am individually piecing them which is probably the way it was originally done - before rotary cutters came along.

I am making the same quilt as you, only mine finish at 1" squares. You are more sane than I am!

There is an old country song that has a line in it something like this:
"I'm crazy but it keeps me from going insane". Just about fits us quilters more often than not.

Looking good! I'd found a picture of one I wanted to make, so I cut out a lot of 2" squares and am using them as headers and enders to get started on this project. Hopefully I'll have several ready after I finish all the quilts I'm soing for Christmas gifts.

At my quilt club we did the Triple Irish Chain all in scrappy. There was 15 that did light and med light, and 15 that did med dark and dark. They all turned out beautiful. Most of us did the queen, but believe me it is 91 1/2" by 115", which is border line king. I haven't had it quilted yet, so it will shrink some. What we did, all 30 of us, brought 60 strips and then each of us handed them out 2 at a time. We really enjoyed doing the quilt. Good luck on your scrappy quilt. Ann
