OK. I've looked at the pic and can't figure out how you could use 2 1/2" and 1 1/2" squares. Can someone mark the pic so I can see the way it went together please? I don't understand how 2 sizes fit together.

hi Carreen, you might not have seen her post number 31 on page 4, where she posted her graph/pattern. It helps to see the larger 2 1/2 square sewn to the individual square of the smaller 1 1/2" squares. Hope this helps? The post number is in the corner of each reply, yours shows #62, go back and look for that post and you'll see the graph. I can't get my computer to work with me to highlight the pic to break it down for you, or I would. Sorry, it's giving me fits this morning. LOL!

This is a beautiful quilt. I love scrap quilts, and this one is so blended, without it being garishly scrappy.As to the name of the pattern, back a few generations, we called this one "stepping stone" Irish Chain. I don't know what the "new" name would be now . Seems that new names keep popping up for older patterns these days. Anyway, I this is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

There are two ways to do it. I actually did it the harder way by making two different blocks. One was a the one with the chain and the other was a 16 patch.
Like this:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]458714[/ATTACH]
the larger squares start at 2.5" and the smaller ones at 1.5"
But I think the original one that I copied was like this: However, I had started by making 16 patches without planning it out til the end, so I ended up making it like the first one.
Here is another option:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]458715[/ATTACH]
Once again: The larger blocks are 2.5" (to start with) and the smaller are 1.5" (to start with). Make enough and you will end up with a quilt top that looks similar to the one I did with the whites in a little bit different spot.
This second layout makes the quilt like I did, a 9x10 grid, look like this as one possible scenario:
