irish chain {in progress}


I started, and even finished, a new quilt top over the weekend (pattern can be found in this book) . As you can imagine, there was some serious marathon sewing involved :)


At first I was quite intimidated by how very precise all the seams needed to be. Those green squares finish at 3/4" so even the slightest discrepancy in seam allowances would show right away.


At the end though I found the repetitive nature of piecing these blocks together quilt therapeutic and enjoyable.

Hope you all had a great weekend too. Svetlana

  6. I didn't realize this quilt came from a book. Does the quilt in the book have different colors? It's just such an unexpected twist and makes yours look so modern, especially with the blue and green colors. This is just a beautiful modern quilt, Svetlana!
