Default Naming of a quilt

I am trying to think of a name for my white and green Irish Chain quilt.
It's at the longarmer's so no pictures yet but I'd like to have a label
all made when I get it back in a few weeks. That way I can sew part of
the label when sewing on the binding. Any suggestions as to a name?? The
back does have shamrocks.

Tamara wants a name for her Irish Chain quilt...


So I suggest: Fáilte isteach! Mean's "welcome in" in Irish.

Pronounced FAWL-chuh ISH-tach (the last 'ch' sounds like the 'ch' in
Scottish "loch")

I do know how it will be quilted. I knew what I wanted and we found the
perfect patterns. Here is a link to the quilt pattern for the centers.

The rest of the quilt will be stitched on the diagonal. I was told it's
a tradition looks for an Irish Chain quilt. In the borders will be
cables. It is started and looks wonderful. Just what I wanted. I am so
please I am entering it in the county fair this summer.

Default Naming of a quilt

I am trying to think of a name for my white and green Irish Chain quilt.

According to www.englishirishdictionary.com, "chain" in Irish is
"slabhra".

That entry has the most bizarre examples I have ever seen in a
dictionary. I guess it says something about contemporary Ireland
that everybody needs a translation for "to own that fraction of
the ordinary share capital of the last owned company through the
intermediary or chain of intermediaries".

What is wrong with calling it Irish Chain?
