Give An Irish Chain a Sweet Twist
It’s a Beautiful Quilt for Someone Special!
A classic Irish Chain quilt is updated with sweet hearts scattered throughout. The result is a pretty quilt that will be lovely in whichever of the five sizes you choose to make.
Start with small-scale or tone-on-tone prints in colors you enjoy. Notice how the designer varied the colors used in the chain, yet it appears to be blue. The variations add interest while helping to incorporate the colorful hearts.
Play with color for your own version and don’t forget to consider other backgrounds. Black or gray will really make the chain and hearts pop.
This quilt is great for just about any quilting style. Show off your free motion quilting or go with an attractive straight-line design using your walking foot.
