This is one of those projects where I cannot WAIT to see what it's going to look like!! So I put together 3 rows of it.... tho the rows are not yet attached in this photo... just layed out together on the floor. hehe

This will be king size. It will have 9 rows when finished... so here are the first 3.

It's scrappy... I definitely depleted my reds and blues on this one. LOL!!

My hubby wanted a red, white and blue quilt and I've been wanting to make an Irish Chain for years, so NOW was the time! :D

Love Love Loving it! Red, white and blue.........one of my favorites! Thanks for wetting our taste buds. Excited to see it finished.

reneebobby 10-09-2008 02:59 AM

Oh my that is going to be really pretty.

Brazen 10-09-2008 03:20 AM

Thanks so much everyone!! I'm excited too! I was worried the scrappy look would take away from the beauty that this pattern can have... worried that some of the reds were too dark and some of the blues too light. I am working from stash only, tho, so those had to go in there. LOL

Shadow Dancer 10-09-2008 03:36 AM

Thank you everyone!!

Harmony, it's really not that bad.... the only thing is just having patience. But the blocks aren't hard at all... once you get organized and know what's supposed to go where. Nothing intricate about it... thank goodness. This is my first-ever king-size quilt, too! LOL :D

The blocks for Row #4 are all ready to be put together, so I can put up another picture in a couple of hours, maybe. hehehe

Barbm 10-10-2008 05:04 AM

gorgeous! Can't wait to see the finished quilt!

shellyp 10-10-2008 05:18 AM

Very, very nice! I love it.
