My guild decided to make wheelchair quilts to donate to a local nursing home. It was my job to pick a pattern and go pick up all the fabric, so I made a practice one to make sure everything was right. I picked the single irish chain quilt because most of our guild are newbies, and this is a very easy pattern. The quilt is 34" x 44". Today I finished up this one, and my friend and I got to go shopping for all the other fabrics. We got fabric for 12 quilts, plus all the thread, batting, and everything else we might need. It was a lot of fun to go shopping for everything!

Thanks for looking.

That will make a great project for your guild. Have fun!

someone sure is gonna be lucky....pretty colors too!

I like it!

Very nice. That's fun to go shopping with other people's money!!!

I think that is wonderful and I know whoever ends up with it will be most appreciative!

What a great thing to do ! Enjoy making the quilts and be sure and post pics when all the quilts are done ! :lol:

Great quilt and a great cause!!

Thats such a nice thing to do. Your sample looks perfect and I just know you did a good job shopping...now don't ya' wish all that was "stash" stuff? Ya'll have fun making those and even more fun giving them away!

I love the colors in that quilt. It's beautiful!

Great quilt - love the colors!
Sometime I'm going to make an irish chain.....

What a wonderful idea for your guild to make these quilts! I love the pattern you picked and think it will be easy enough for everyone to do. If you can, please take a photo when all the quilts are finished and post them here. It would be fun to see them all finished.

Love your Irish chain. That's one of my favorite patterns. Fun and so my options.

What a great idea--and what a beauitful quilt! I didn't know the size for wheelchair quilts.
