    Default Double Irish chain

    These are some of my brown scraps. I am really tired of using scraps. But, I am determined to shrink the bucket.

    Nice quilt! I, too, am in the using up scraps mode. I've made a 3 or 4 quilts and don't seem to have made a dent in the scraps yet!

    That's a very nice quilt. I think scraps multiply at night in the dark.

    Very pretty. Not overly fussy. The more scraps you pull out of a bin, the fluffier the remaining scraps get.

    I am involved in a log cabin challenge from our LQS. I have been trying to cut logs from my THREE shoe boxes full of 1.5 inch strips. I don't think I'll see much difference in them either, when I have enough for one quilt.

    I don’t think I would get tired using scraps this pretty. When I first saw an Irish Chain, I feel in love. Yours here has a vintage look. I think it could be used in a western show/movie and not look out of place. Very nice.

    I admire your resolve. You keep making wonderful quilts so that's a win right? BTW, I really like that you used a neutral "print" instead of a solid for your background fabric.

    Isn't it fun to use what is on hand to "shrink the bucket"! You can then relax and mutter to yourself, I did it, I knew all along I could and whoopee! one off the list. Now....what's next.
