Tangled Irish Chain 41, 42 from Virtual Quilter

Interesting design, but it could use some fabric modifications.

Second design is much better, but could be better still … more play time needed in this project file.

Irish Chain and Loopy Stuff 9, 10 from Virtual Quilter

I quite like the designs in this project file, but the title leaves a lot to be desired!

I like the first design because there is more space for quilting to shine, but I like the effect of the centre in the second design.

Burgoyne Tangled with Irish 1, 2 from Virtual Quilter

This project file is Burgoyne Surrounded by Irish recoloured. Much prettier than the original!

The mixture of shapes is still interesting, and much more suitable for the lady of the house.

Tangled Irish Chain Blues 37, 38 from Virtual Quilter

The centre of the design above is interesting. It is 9P blocks surrounded by blocks with contrast corners, but the corner squares are part of the joining blocks.

The second design is a bit of a tangle, but interesting.

PS Sorry, I didn’t press the buttons required to publish this yesterday!

An Irish Gardener’s Double Chain 5, 6 from Virtual Quilter

I have had a lot of fun using traditional quilt blocks in ways that are not traditional, including Irish Chains.

Love both these designs, but I think there are a lot of applique blocks which would work better than those I am using in this project file.

Newborn Charity Quilt from Mulberry Patch Quilts

Mikayla’s Grace is a wonderful charity in my area of Wisconsin that supports families with a baby in the NICU (neonatal ICU) and those who experience the death of a child or pregnancy loss at hospitals in the Dane County area.

Crafters from all over make beautiful handmade baby items that they sew, knit or crochet and send to Mikayla’s Grace — from gowns, hats, and booties, to baby blankets and quilts. Several times a year volunteers meet to assemble these donations into care packages and deliver them to local hospitals to distribute.

Melissa recently sent out an email ...

Scrappy Pink Irish Chain Quilt from A Little Bit Biased

Today I am finally sharing my scrappy pink Irish Chain quilt that

I started in December 2021. I finished it shortly

thereafter but just recently got some pictures of it!

But first (before I share the details of this quilt),

thanks to all of you that watched my LIVE Thursday Trunk Show

that I did on Instagram this past week and that wanted to see more

of this quilt! Several of you reached out and gave me just the

motivation I needed to get this quilt photographed and blogged.

FYI: I do Thursday Trunk Shows once in a while.

It ...

Triple Irish Chain 23, 24 from Virtual Quilter

Triple Irish Chain is not the most interesting block I have ever played with, but sometimes I really like what I find … and the one above is one of them. Lots of chain, but room for quilting to shine.

The quilting designs would have to be based on four leaf clover!

Winter Solstice Throw Quilt in Peppered Cottons! from Busy Hands Quilts

Today I'm sharing a Winter Solstice Throw quilt that I made in 2020. Uh, well, better late posting it than never!

Winter Solstice combines oversized star and Irish Chain blocks for a super quick finish. The Irish Chains are made with two different grays for an added twist.

The Winter Solstice quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts pattern shop.

Winter Solstice Quilt Pattern

The Winter Solstice quilt pattern includes two sizes - Throw and Queen. This quilt is the Throw size. The design is exactly the same in both sizes, but with different sized blocks. The large ...

Irish Chain and Loopy Stuff 6, 7, 8 from Virtual Quilter

Interesting. Not my colours, too much piecing, but I really like it!

Like this one more than the first.

Still like the middle one best.

Triple Irish Chain 21, 22 from Virtual Quilter

I have never seen a lot of Triple Irish Chain quilts, which is understandable, but I have enjoyed playing with the design.

The first design includes space for quilting to shine, which I always like, whatever block designs surround that space.

Not as much space for quilting in the second, but it is an interesting shape.

Garden Path from Quilt Doodle Doodles

Spring is right around the corner and I just can't wait for warmer days and watching things grow in my garden. I have been planning my garden over the last couple of weeks and have ordered seeds and also have started some seeds indoors. I've invested in some grow lights last year and I love them. Best investment ever. Gosh, Amazon has everything...

I have even wintered over a couple of container gardens that I put on display by my front door during the summer. They are full of Boston Ferns and Wandering Jew. I'm amazed the ...

Basic piecing, interesting design.

More interesting than the first.

The final design for the day, and my favourite.

Irish 9 Patch 1, 2, 3 from Virtual Quilter

This is just a recolouring of the Irish 9P project file … the old colours were pretty dull!

Nothing like a bit of green to freshen things up.

Love the second design!

The blocks are simply Nine Patch, nine squares, usually four light and five dark,which form a Single Irish Chain with alternate plain blocks. However, I have placed the dark fabrics in different places in most blocks, and used more or less of the dark than the usual five squares. If you sort your scraps from light to dark, put those in the middle back into the scrap basket ...

Tangled Irish Chain Apps 10, 11, 12 from Virtual Quilter

Love the first design for today.

Love, love, love the second one!

Must be some Irish blood in my veins, though if that is the case I should have used shamrocks for the applique! And the quilting.

Love the last one too … or three!

Tangled Irish Chain Blues 35, 36 from Virtual Quilter

I should have used green for Irish, but Tangled Irish Chain Blues had a better ring to it … and I was trying to make myself use blue in my designs.

This is one of many of my project files nearing it’s use by date … which means I will have to create some new virtual quilt projects. I am going to have lots of fun!

Tangled Irish Chain 37, 38 from Virtual Quilter

Interesting!

Amazing what can happen when you mix up Single Irish Chain, Double irish Chain and Triple Irish Chain blocks!
