Whohoo! The Double Irish Chain quilt that I started a few weeks ago is now complete. Just in time... my niece's baby is due any day now. I wish I could be there when she opens the package. I am very very pleased with it considering it is my first time doing any machine quilting on a quilt. I love the way it feels so soft. I doubled the batting. I was a chicken and didn't do any fancy free-motion quilting. I just echo stitched the blocks. This is also my first time with machine applique. The little flowers are so cute! If I were to name the quilt I could call it "Field of Dreams" (I'm sure somebody already did a quilt like that.) The quilt is so much better in person, but here it is:
The little white take to the right at the end of the name is my signature block. It says "Double Irish Chain -- From Great Aunt Kathy -- 2011"
