Great use of scraps, very pretty quilt, using the white to break up the colors really brightens it up.

OK. I've looked at the pic and can't figure out how you could use 2 1/2" and 1 1/2" squares. Can someone mark the pic so I can see the way it went together please? I don't understand how 2 sizes fit together.

hi Carreen, you might not have seen her post number 31 on page 4, where she posted her graph/pattern. It helps to see the larger 2 1/2 square sewn to the individual square of the smaller 1 1/2" squares. Hope this helps? The post number is in the corner of each reply, yours shows #62, go back and look for that post and you'll see the graph. I can't get my computer to work with me to highlight the pic to break it down for you, or I would. Sorry, it's giving me fits this morning. LOL!

This is a beautiful quilt. I love scrap quilts, and this one is so blended, without it being garishly scrappy.As to the name of the pattern, back a few generations, we called this one "stepping stone" Irish Chain. I don't know what the "new" name would be now . Seems that new names keep popping up for older patterns these days. Anyway, I this is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

I'll show you.

There are two ways to do it. I actually did it the harder way by making two different blocks. One was a the one with the chain and the other was a 16 patch.

Like this:

the larger squares start at 2.5" and the smaller ones at 1.5"

But I think the original one that I copied was like this: However, I had started by making 16 patches without planning it out til the end, so I ended up making it like the first one.

Here is another option:

Once again: The larger blocks are 2.5" (to start with) and the smaller are 1.5" (to start with). Make enough and you will end up with a quilt top that looks similar to the one I did with the whites in a little bit different spot.

This second layout makes the quilt like I did, a 9x10 grid, look like this as one possible scenario:
