ok. I'm better now.

Yeah, just what the world needs. Yet another IC with a white background. :roll:

Thanks so much for making it your own.
Karla recently posted her DWR that was totally non-traditional as well.

Fabulous!!!

To me this is what quilting is all about - taking a traditional pattern and making it your own by putting a new twist on it - beautiful job, I LOVE it, whatever it's called!

Looks like an Irish chain to me. Old timers often are very limited on their outlook. Heck I used to think a quilt had to be hand pieced and hand quilted-duh, how stupid I was...LOL
You made a beautiful quilt with fabrics you love-enjoy your irish chain.

Thank you for all the encouragement - if you look at my quilts, I am usually somewhat unconvential and sometimes doubt is created by what others say. Hasn't stopped me because for the most part I keep making them.
