I'm making a single irish chain lap quilt. Traditionally, they seem to be just two contrasting colours...Below are my options. One of them is a collection of coordinating FQ's I have that I'd use either each in separate 9P's or all of them in one...I don't know...

How about cream with the fat quarters and make a scrappy kind of Irish Chain? I made my grandma a scrappy Friendship Star with blues in the background and had her pick the border--her favorite of all that was in the quilt. So--the scrappy idea seems to cover a lot of likes...

I love that you're going to give it to her "just because" and you already know she will love what ever you make for her.

She's got this old crochet afghan on her couch...she must have had it for 30+ years, it's been on her couch longer than I've been around! This afghan has every colour under the sun in it. It's the most god awful ugly thing, but I have many many dear memories involving it and love it. Anyway, the point of telling about the afghan? ANYTHING will match it AND clash against it! :lol:
