Beautiful Irish Chain. Love the colors.

Ooooh! I really really really like that. What maker is the fabric?

Just beautiful! I'm sure your SIL will love it!

If she doesn't like it she's crazy - that's the most beautiful Irish Chain I've seen. You did a great job!

Glad you were able to find the same floral with both black and white backgrounds. It made a beautiful quilt. That was very creative.

That is so beautiful Jeanne! The way you made it looks likes the flowers are twining around a trellis!

What a beautiful, original idea. She will love it and so do I.

Beautiful and love the back!

Beautiful effect. Your search for fabric was well worth it. Stunning

Can I be your SIL too?? The quilt is the most beautiful Irish Chain I've ever seen....and I'm IRISH!!

I've made a few Irish Chains, so I understand how much planning went into the placement of your fabrics. Absolutely stunning - yours is the most beautiful Irish Chain I've ever seen.

Oh I just love it! She and I are the same age! She is going to love, love, love it!

DITTO, the most beautiful Irish Chain I've ever seen.

I had to sign in just to tell you that I think your quilt is Delightful! The concept of matching flowers in several colors of the same fabric is a great idea.

Ditto GailG! Those flowers around the chains are just too beautiful. I have never cared much for the Irish Chain, finding it plain with not much eye appeal. But this has absolutely changed my mind. Wonderful job. Great imagination and execution of your unique vision. Thanks very much for sharing this wonderful quilt.

Totally in love with this Quilt

Love the fabric combination. Beautiful job.

What a beautiful quilt! Best Irish Chain I've seen in a long time.

That is just lovely..

Love the front and love the back, too.

Truly unique and absolutely beautiful. I'm sure your SIL will be thrilled. Thank you for sharing such a wonderfully creative twist on the Irish Chain.

Love, love that Irish chain! Never seen one with this kind of floral design on it.

That's beautiful! Love the floral fabrics. I have a b-day coming up soon.. Just saying........LOL

Congratulations on a gorgeous quilt. Your SIL will absolutely love it. And if not, let me know, and I'll send you my address!! Haha!
Thanks for sharing with us

Very pretty on both sides ~

Very pretty quilt, great gift.

Very pretty. Love how it looks almost 3D.

What a pretty Irish chain, well done! Did you quilt this yourself, and if so what type of machine did you use? Your sister is going to love it!!!

Wow, that is gorgeous! Lucky SIL

my Time, I did not quilt this one, just pieced the top and binding. I had a local professional long arm quilter do the quilting and she has a Nolting long arm machine.

This is really beautiful. How creative! It's just gorgeous.

Did you use a pattern or a tutorial? It's just so beautiful, I would love to know more about the technique.

i have been making Irish chain quilts since I started quilting, now you have raised the bar and I must try a double Irish chain!

Absolutely beautiful. Love the choice of fabrics.

Beautiful, what a great gift.

This is very attractive.

I just made this one up, but will try to describe it. It is made all with 2 1/2" WOF strips of 5 different fabrics: black (B), floral black (FB), green (G), floral white (FW) and white (W). Each block is a 25 patch block, made with sets of five WOF 2 1/2" strips sewn together, then each 5 strip set is cross-cut into 2 1/2" strips and sewn back together in sets of five crosscut strips to make a 25 patch block. To make a block, the first five WOF strip set is sewn together in this order:
W, W, WF, WF, G. The second WOF strip set is sewn in this order: W, WF, WF, G, BF. The third strip set is sewn: WF, WF, G, BF, BF. The 4th WOF strip set is sewn: WF, G, BF, BF, B. And the last fifth WOF set is sewn: G, BF, BF, B, B. Cross cut each of these 5 WOF strip sets into 2 1/2" pieces (will be 2 1/2" x 10 1/2" each). Then take one cross cut piece from each of the 5 and sew together in order so the green fabric makes the diagonal line through the center of the block and whites are on one side and blacks on the other. Each block is 10 1/2" unfinished, 10" finished. Make as many sets/blocks as you need to make the size of the quilt you want. I made this one with 81 blocks (9 across and 9 down) and had to make 2 or 3 WOF 5 strip sets in each of the 5 color orders to get enough blocks. Each block is the same, just rotate them to get the lattice pattern effect. I added a narrow inner border and a medium outer border before binding.
Since it is just using 2 1/2" strips and cross cutting the sets into 2 1/2" pieces, it is easy to cut and sew. Just pay attention to the order of the fabrics. As I made each 5 WOF strip set and cross cut them, I stacked the pieces up into separate piles in the order of sewing them back together, so that made it easier to keep them straight. It is easier than it sounds.
I am not a pattern writer, so I hope is helps!! let me know if you have any questions.

Love this version of our old fav, the Irish chain. Also love your back - Someone got a great deal with this quilt!!

LOVE it! Beautiful color choices...

I absolutely love this quilt it reminds me of Jackie Robinson's Weaver Fever quilt and her fabrics. You did an incredible job.
