Double Irish Chain Quilt recently finished
After an elderly friend of mine recently gave me all of her fabric stash, I made her this quilt. It should have been a very easy and uncomplicated quilt. But, no I had to go and experiment. LOL. First off, I planned this magnificent free motion machine embroidery pattern. That took quite a bit of time and waste! After viewing various other quilts of this design, I realized that I had overdone galore. So, I ended up only doing the center area. During the entire process of creating this quilt all sorts of life got in the way. I had actually typed out the scenerio and realized, this is going to be a book. LOL. So deleted. Whew, I know all of you are as relieved as I am.
Oh yeah back to the quilt. With all of lifes slam balls being thrown at me. When I finally reached the point of quilting it, I thought no more could go wrong. Boy, this quilt did everything in its power to humiliate me. It deserves the few straight lines (if I can even call them that) of quilting. Finished with a very simple binding and dellivered to her. She loved it and kept telling me, I do not see any mistakes at all. This from a woman who made and created some of the most beautiful quilts!!! So we laughed and compared stories and had a wonderful visit.
