I love the Double Irish Chain quilt pattern! I made a few of them and played around with different borders. I gave away one of them to a good friend of mine who moved away to Toronto. I get to visit it when I go see her LOL

Awesome Chele! I think the single Irish Chain is my favorite "go-to" pattern :wink:
You did a fabulous job on this one! :thumbup:

Beautifully done. I have never seen an Irish chain in red and white!
Great not only for Valentine's Day but for Christmas as well.
Bravo,

Your work is wonderful. Be sure to post when you get it Quilted.
Since the 14th is my Birthday, the Red and White really caught my eye.

This is absolutely beautiful!! I want to make one JUST like it!!

I love that colour combo. and the pattern is just stunning. I have only made 4 twin size quilts and the first 2 were single Irish chain and they were an Eleanor Burns pattern that was sooooo simple to follow. i love her directions they are perfect for a beginner. Good luck with the quilting. I just did mine myself and stitched in the ditch.

Chele, Great job! I have been wanting to do one of those for many years, you might have inspired me to actually move it up a notch on my to do list! Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful. I love the Irish chain. It's a simple pattern but one that always looks nice Good job. :D

My first quilt I made was a triple irish chain in 3/4 inch squares. It was solid red, white and blue print. It took me 3 loooooong years to finish it. I have always loved the simple square patch. It's so versitile, you can create so many different patterns. I'm working on a shadow and sunset right now. 2 years into it. The top is done. I divide my top into 3 long panels and quilt them. Then I attach them together. I have 2/3 of it done. Now I'm working on the 3rd and last panel. I machine piece but hand quilt. I'll be visiting my sister tomorrow. I'll see if she'll let me borrow her camera and I'll send some pics.
