Irish Chain using Two Fabrics
 
2 Attachment(s)
Well, two fabrics plus one for the border!
A few days ago AngeliaNR posted her Carolina Chain and I was going to make it, liked the same fabric used in the blocks. today someone posted the chain pattern using large squares and 9-patch. I made this using some fabric I've had for a while and didna't know what to do with this beautiful focus pattern. Wish I had more, I'd make a full bed quilt, I think it would be striking.
This was done using 9-1/2" focus fabric blocks, and 9-patch made from 4-1/2" astrips.
Thanks for looking.

I think I have seen this focus fabric made into a stack and whack. It is so pretty and so is your quilt.

Terrific top! Great fabrics too~

Makes a beautiful pattern.

Lakelady620 01-28-2015 01:09 PM

Great quilt, like the fabric choice.

quiltingeileen 01-28-2015 01:32 PM

Beautiful! I never would have thought to use a print as the focus in that pattern. I'll have to try that since it came out so pretty.

LindaMRB 01-28-2015 01:48 PM

that fabric is so lush - doing much more would be wild! Looks like you did a really nice job piecing.

BerninaGirl 01-28-2015 04:04 PM

Oh my gosh how pretty, thanks for the close up. Love the print fabric.

hoprigmom 01-28-2015 04:43 PM

Thanks for posting your quilt. I have a focus fabric has been laying around for several years and I keep thinking I should do something with it. This has given me an inspiration how to use it. I really enjoy reading your mystery train quilts and seeing all the different quilts.

This beautiful and bold print works how wonderfully with this pattern.

Cybrarian 01-28-2015 08:52 PM

Love this-great pattern for those fabrics we love and don't want to cut up too much!

twinkie 01-29-2015 04:11 AM

Bright and beautiful

Beautiful, I love the colors.

Geri B 01-29-2015 06:27 AM

Great, very dramatic......what size did it end up.....how much focus fab did you start with? I have some wild stuff...this might work for it...thanks for inspiration!

NikkiLu 01-29-2015 06:50 AM

Yes, I bought this same fabric at JoAnn's for a stack and whack quilt. I think they still have the fabric, but second batch of it and it is not quite as nice and silky as the first batch.

It is a beautiful quilt. I now have an idea on how to use some of my focus fabrics.

EmiliasNana 01-29-2015 08:09 AM

Beautiful focal fabric. I can see why you wished you had more. Lovely.

MargeD 01-29-2015 10:02 AM

WOW, it's gorgeous. I love the floral print, it's beautiful. Often a gorgeous fabric like that lends itself to more basic blocks, like the 9-patch.
