Today is the final day of my Irish Chain Quilts Remakes. If you missed the previous 2 days you can find
Daisy Chain here and
Bitty Bits Here ;) And today, it's Breaking Up!!!!!
Breaking Up is from the Twists on Tradition section of
Irish Chain Quilts. It really is such a fun quilt to piece and is easier than it looks. I just love all of the movement from the mismatch chain and the pop of that great navy!!
For this quilt, I decided to use the remains of a
Tucker Prairie Fat Eighth Bundle by One Canoe Two for Moda that I had left over from another project. I had used all of the warm toned prints for the other project leaving all of these beautiful cool tones for this quilt. I matched it with a beautiful
BasicGrey Grunge Navy Print for the chain and a
Grunge White Print for the Background. I love that the Grunge White has beautiful green hints to it that play so well with the prints!!! I tell you what, I love
Grunge!!!!
When it came time to quilt, I went pretty similar to the original with just a few changes. I did these fun flowers in the squares with double arches which is a small alteration from the original but in the same ballpark and then in the background I went with a great little all over loopy. I tell you what, I forgot how much fun it is to do little loopies ;) I was flying across this quilt top, so fun!!
I am so excited about this new Breaking Up - Tucker Prairie Quilt. I just love the colors and I am hoping it will be a big hit at my trunk show today :) If you have made your own Breaking Up quilt I would love to see it!!! You can email me a picture at happyquiltingmelissa@gmail.com
And that ends up the
Irish Chin Quilts Remakes, well at least the ones I had planned. I am sure there will be more to come ;)
I hope you have a very Happy Quilting Weekend!!!
Linking this finish up to
Sarah's and
Amanda's ;)
Love this quilt! This fabric is perfect for this pattern. Can't wait to make one of my own!
ReplyDeleteThis really looks like a fun quilt to make. To be honest, I've never made an Irish Chain anything! Guess I better get with the program and put in on my 2016 list!
