Okay, so I just about hugged the UPS guy :) My advanced copy of Irish Chain Quilts: Contemporary Twists on a Classic Design has arrived!!! It's funny how this whole process has seemed so surreal, like it is still a dream. But holding the actual book in my hands, oh ya, so very real!!! I just keep hugging it. And yes, there might have been a few tears or joy involved ;)
And the arrival of my book helped me make a decision I had been stewing on. You see, I finished up my big old stack of 4 Patches for the Go 4 It APQ Quilt Along ;) But I was having a hard time deciding on which of the three designs I wanted to make.
I looked at the cover and bingo!!! I figured I had so much fun with the Triple Scrappy Irish Chain Quilt from my bee mates, why not make a Single Scrappy Irish Chain Quilt. A quick sketch up on EQ7 and it was instant 4 patch love!!!
So, my question to you now, would you like a tutorial for this?? I will be working on making the blocks over the next few weeks and can take a few pictures along the way if you like . . .
Have a Happy Quilting Day I know mine will continue to be an Over the Moon Happy Quilting kind of Day ;)
Congratulations on your book!
ReplyDeleteI would love a tutorial for the quilt you are making.
Thanks for offering a tutorial, Melissa. I'd love to see how you make the scrappy Irish chain with 4 patches.
ReplyDeleteYes! I would love a tute for it. These aren't your leaders and enders patches, are they? I have lots of scrap squares I've been wanting to do something with. This might be a fun way to use them, eh?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I would love to see a tutorial on it.
ReplyDeleteIf you did not hug the guy, I bet your smile was enough for him.
