I made this quilt in honor of my paternal grandmother, who was proud of her Irish heritage. It is done all in shamrock fabrics, and solid green for the center chain blocks. The quilting is all shamrocks too, with a shamrock in each of the solid green blocks. Somewhere in the quilt is a single four-leaf clover. I gave the quilt to my aunt, who always reminds me that she is my "only blood aunt". She was recently diagnosed with Alzheimers, and has promised that the quilt will come back to me "when she is done with it". I hope I never get it back.

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. The green set next to the white makes it look so fresh & crisp, is that Prairie Points around the edge. Still have to have a bash at those.
Hope the quilt stays with your Aunt :wink:
