Here is my latest finish. This is a baby quilt made from the leftover blocks of my current work in progress quilt. The pattern is Irish Chain, a very simple Irish Chain! I used a Paula Barnes Companions jelly roll and my "solid" is Miniature Gatherings Flower Vines Pie Crust Raisin. My backing fabric is a Windham Fabrics 108' Mini Leaf pattern in tan. I used leftover pieces of the jelly roll to make a nice scrappy binding.
I totally forgot to measure it before or after washing but it is around 50 by 65 inches. I quilted it in straight lines diagonally through the centers of the colored squares. Easily done on my little Juki, Fern.
The big one will look just like this, only twice as big. That one I am keeping for myself. This miniature version was given to a dear friend and his wife, who are foster-parenting an infant girl. Everything is ready to be quilted on the big one, I just need to get it going...very little free time and too many aches and pains have slowed my progress!
Thank you for visiting my blog today!

Wow, your quilt is gorgeous, and such a generous gift, they are one lucky couple who are going to flip when they see it, and it will be a precious treasure. How beautiful that they are fostering a child in need of love.
I'm glad that you are keeping the big one for yourself, as it looks like a lot of work. I just love both the pattern and the colors.
Hugs
Beautiful and such a lovely gift. Hope you feel better soon!
Beautiful!! I love the colors and that scrappy binding! I sure would be happy if my friends made me a gift like that!

What a lovely quilt. A wonderful gift.
Wonderful job on your Irish Chain quilt. I love making quilt tops but do not care for machine quilting them, ugh! I send all of mine off to the longarm quilter.
Lovely! I just attended a quilt exhibit at the OKC museum. It almost made me want to take up quilting.
oh that's lovely, you did a great job!
What a beautiful gift! When we adopted our oldest son we received a quilt from another stitcher and I can assure it is a treasured possession and I'm sure this one will be too.
Wonderful gift.
Beautiful! I love traditional scrappy quilts.

Irish Chain quilts are my favorite. My first was an Irish Chain and I always lean toward them when I think about new quilts.
