I love Eleanor Burns' Irish Chain in a Day book! The instructions are so clear with color pictures every step of the way, along with instructions to make nearly every size of quilt from wall hanging to king. It was one of the first quilt books I ever bought, and I have never been able to part with it!

Custom String Lap Quilt in Thimbleberries Sweet Home Progress #4
This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support!Next up is a custom twin-sized Rainbow Wave quilt ... among many other quilts! I am currently not taking custom quilt orders in my Etsy shop because I have three gift quilts to make, as well as quilts for myself that I MUST get done! Plus, I have a closet full of fabric that I need to use, and most custom quilts require I buy something else! ... sigh ... more fabric ... what's a girl to do?

HAPPY SCRAPPY Ooh La La Twin Quilt
This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support!
HAPPY SCRAPPY is the first in a line of value-priced quilts coming to my shop. My value-priced HAPPY SCRAPPY quilts are made from beautiful quilt-shop quality fabric collections and have a lower price because the big blocks are quicker to piece than a more intricate quilt pattern.
Lovely breezy summer day for photographing a quilt on the swing set!
Ooh La La by Michael Miller is a huge collection of prints, and this quilt includes 24 of them, each used only two to three times for truly HAPPY SCRAPPY quilt!
Delicious lime-green binding!
I love Kona 200-thread count premium muslin for backing. It is so soft and cozy and comes 108" wide, so no piecing is required! I get it at Fabric.com.
