Very pretty ... I _love_ patterns that break the frame that way. It
just adds so much interest.

She should be thrilled!

Oh, that's really lovely! You have a real talent for design. And a totally
stash quilt as well. You have my deepest admiration!

SIL is coming to visit for two weeks, starting this Sunday. I thought it
would be nice if she had a quilt to sleep under and then save me postage
and
the worry of sending it to New Brunswick by making her a very fast Irish
Chain quilt. It looks as tho it will be finished while she is here, there
are no batting pieces big enough to put together here.
The Irish Chain part is a large scale pink/yellow and blue floral
paisley,
the chain is a deep raspberry geometric tone on tone, and the borders are
a
bit of this and that found in the stash. I think she will love it. It had
a
small accident and a small crochet heart applique will be needed to mend a
tear in the border. Lesson learned? Use the seam ripper. :-)
It just dawned on me that this is a totally made from stash quilt! Yay!
You all have been a good influence on me. My piecing is finally reaching
the
acceptable level and that makes me think I wont give up on quilting after
all. Not yet. :-)

Even here in the states its considered bad form to allow your guests to lie
shivering in bed during a Wisconsin winter. Thank you Patti. It was a rather
fun top to make!

Wow! Next time you have 10 minutes or so you can throw one of those
together for me. I like pansies.

Wow, it's wonderful when a quick quilt turns out this fabulous. I'm
starting a Triple Irish Chain for my sister next week and I'm really
looking forward to it. Thanks for sharing your quilt...Irish Chains are
one of my favorites. (Although I do have many "favorites")
