1930s Irish Chain
Hi BBers,
I just finished a quilt I made from fabric swatches - all 1930s reproduction prints and I managed to make it almost a charm quilt - only one fabric appears twice and I decided not to rip it out. It is machine pieced and quilted (yes, the feathered wreaths as well), I used Cotton 277 (should be a white Warm & Natural cotton batting in the US). I had to wash it as soon as I had bound it as my oldest cat decided to defend it against the youngest and promptly marked her territory on it :-( so the quilting shrunk a bit. I took photos before and after laundry...
Have a good weekend!

It is a very lovely restful quilt and what a nice challenging puzzle for a friend or grandchild .... try to find the two pieces that match. You do excellent quilting, Sue.

Thank you for your kind comments *blush* - I really like machine quilting - it is so fast and I finally get all the quilt tops done instead of having them pile up. Though I still love hand quilting, it just takes time. I usually listen to audiobooks while quilting, even by machine.
