I love it!! It looks an awful lot like the one I did, and we even used the same fabric! I had my LAQ'r quilt a shamrock in each of the green chain squares, and an intricate circle of shamrocks in the middle. There are intricate chains of shamrocks in the borders, and somewhere in the quilt, there is ONE 4-leaf clover! :P

I made the quilt in honor of my paternal grandmother who was very proud of her Irish heritage. I gave it to her only daughter, my aunt.
