When I was putting this quilt together I had several "old time" quilters tell me this wasn't really an irish chain. The background was not a traditional background. Well the quilt now hangs in my great room and I have had many compliments on it and it still looks like an irish chain pattern to me. This quilt is an example of why I love quilting - you can make up your own rules as you go along.

Meh...I think it's the technique more than the fabric that makes it "what it is". No, the fabric is not traditional, but I WOULD call it an irish chain. AND I WOULD call it FABULOUS!!! :D
