Many years ago, probably around 1995, a friend, Shoko Ferguson in Clinton, MD exhibited a hand pieced Irish Chain quilt at the Greenbelt Federal Courthouse, Greenbelt, MD. Well eighteen years later I pieced mine by machine. LOL!
There are two sets of blocks, a checkered and a setting. The piecing was done by making alternating green and white strata strips. The key to getting perfect intersections is pinning and pressing the seams open. My friend and long-arm quilter, Bernerdett, kept the quilting simple. She perfectly stitched diagonally, making an “X” across each green patch!
I used left over strips to piece the corner blocks and borders.
Add a frilly label…
I hope you enjoyed today’s post.
