CHAIN LINK

 I've always wanted to make a traditional Irish Chain project.  To me, it seems to call for plaid fabrics; so I pulled out the plaids, and started to make 3-inch nine-patch blocks.  

STATS:  Chain Link, 2025, 28" x 28", Machine pieced, Machine quilted.

I love the comfortable look of this simple, old-fashioned quilt.

I'm asked repeatedly about what I do with all of the small quilts I make.  Some I give away to family/friends, and some I occasionally donate to charitable organizations for fundraisers.  The remainder are made just to test out a design or color way for a larger quilt.  But, due to fiscal and physical resources, I'm unable to continue to make large quilts.  Therefore, they become just a sketchbook of inspiration for any future quilts.  They are not for sale by me; that will be up to the discretion of my descendants.
