Gorgeous quilt and exquisite piecing with such tiny squares! I'd drive myself nuts trying to get those small pieces accurate and precise. Good job!!!

I love that fabric also. I buy it in the wide backing and have used it for backing and backgrounds. Love your quilt.

Very pretty. I have made a triple Irish Chain quilt years ago. I may still have it, I think I hand quilted, don't remember. I have hand quilted quilts separate from machine quilts so I don't see them all the time. I give away most of the quilts I make, not the hand quilted ones.

Marich52 - I sent you a PM, where have you found the print in a wide version? I might like to use it for the backing. I haven't decided on a backing yet.

Thanks!

As far as the piecing - I sewed 2 pieces (1.5x42) together the width of the teal and black fabric, and then I cut them into smaller pieces. That helps keep things straight and accurate.
