Double Irish Chain, Full Size, in Read and White
After taking the Custom String Quilt off the quilt rack to ship to my customer, I decided to take more pictures of the Double Irish Chain Quilt I made last year.  She never did get her time of honor, appreciation, and pictures on the quilt rack in my living room, so today she is hanging there in all her sweet simplicity!

This Double Irish Chain is much more appealing than staring at a bare wall, don't ya think?  At least until the next bed-sized quilt is done ... which will be just a few days!

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!
