Triple Irish Chain Quilt
 

I had made a triple Irish chain quilt for my son and his wife a couple years ago and had a lot of leftover Moda summer breeze jelly roll fabric to make another. I loved the quilt and decided to make one for myself. I don't like all the empty space, so I decided to include little 4-inch log cabins in the empty spaces. The logs finish at 1/4-inch. On my son's quilt I included their special photos in the empty spaces. I quilted it on my domestic Brother Laura Ashley sewing machine. I just quilted a bunch of squiggles, and in the border I made an attempt to quilt some hearts. (This is why I always send my quilts out to a professional!) LOL
This is a fun and easy quilt to make.

Your quilt is beautiful and your little log cabin blocks are a wonderful addition to your quilt.

Beautiful job. Love the Summer Breeze fabrics. I made a quilt using Summer Breeze charm packs, but I like yours much better.

Great quilt! You are so creative adding the small logs. Enjoy!

Sheep Farmer- I already commented on how lovely your quilt is.
My question: How did you know what size to make the log cabins? I'm terrible at trying to figure things like that out :)

Adding the log cabins is just pure inspiration. So accurate too, did you foundation piece them?

My quilting is very basic which makes me nervous about having a lot of negative space so I am going to file away this idea if you don't mind.

Wow, those log cabins are tiny! Love your quilt.

I love Irish Chain quilts & that was such a clever idea to put the mini log cabins in the open space. Your quilt is beautiful!!!

1/4??? Those seams are So straight. What a great touch. A great idea if I ever wanted to challenge myself that much. Great job!!!

your tiny log cabins are exquisite. This quilt is fabulous.:cool:

Love the quilt design. You did a wonderful job on the colors too.

Its lovely, love the colours. The log cabin is a great idea, pretty tiny!

Beautiful blue and yellow quilt. Love the pattern and your little log cabin blocks in the middle are a perfect way to fill in the blank areas. So well done.

You did a beautiful job on this. Love the little log cabins. You have lots of patience.

love those tiny log cabins - when I saw the first picture of your quilt, I was wonder what was in the center of the blocks - ? something fussycut - moved down and saw the close up - adorable!

Oh I love it!

Best looking Irish Chain that I have ever seen.

I love everything about your quilt.

That is wonderful! Love Irish Chains as well as Log Cabins - your little LC's in your IC really are fabulous.

It turned out beautifully.

Nice Irish Chain Quilt.

Very beautiful quilt - love those log cabins!

Wow that is one beautiful quilt!!!

Your quilt is a real beauty! The little log cabins are a fun idea, and great way to break up all the white space. :)

SusieQOH: I think the center white square blocks are 10-inches, so I figured a 4-inch log cabin would fit well and sorta be centered with 3-inches on all sides. Also, I have the EQ software to lay things out and get an idea of how it will look. So that helped a lot!
