It was great practice getting my seams to line up. I am very happy with it.

This is wonderful. Haven't seen an all red and white Irish chain before. Looks like one to put on my list.

You did a great job, I have always admired these quilts but never made one. Must put it on my to-do list.

I'm planning to make a double Irish Chain soon and have started looking for stencils to use for quilting the centers. In case you're interested, here's a link:

To find them, I searched on celtic knot stencil.

Your quilt is beautiful. I hope mine turns out nearly as well :-)
