Thanks Barb I wasn't sure if it was really an Irish Chain but that was the idea I started with. I just tweaked it my way as usual. I have always loved the Irish Chain and the Trip around the World(the center of a trip) and I combined the two in one quilt. So I think of it as part Irish Chain.

Wow!! There are some amazing quilts on here. It's so much fun to see the color choices--from elegant to scrappy-I love them all. Thanks for posting the photos!
I will definitely be making another, but not just yet.

Here's my Double Irish Chain, Karla. Made in honor of my paternal grandmother who was proud of her Irish heritage. All the fabrics are shamrocks except the one solid kelly green. The dark green shamrock print has teeeeny tiny yellow blossoms, so that is why I used the yellow piping/quarter-inch border and the yellow prairie points. The back is also a shamrock fabric, but different from the front.
It is quilted with shamrocks in each of the solid squares, a ring of shamrocks in the large spaces, and bunches of shamrocks in the outer borders. Somewhere in the quilt my LAQ hid one 4-leaf clover at my request.
I gave this quilt to my paternal aunt and thought these were the only photos I had of the quilt. But I came across some more while I was packing that shows it on a bed and a good close-up of the shamrock quilting. Now, if I only knew what box I put them in! :?
