My second Irish Chain Scrap Buster Quilt is finished and I love everything about it! Of course. The many fabrics used are all from stash (or my scrap bin) and are what I call my "favorites". I have many fabric favorites and you may note that they are repeated often throughout my quilts. When I run out of a special fabric I don't despair for there are always new fabric releases and inevitably new fabric favorites.
I have quilted this quilt by ditch stitching all seam lines (creating an all over 2 inch grid of lines); simple and functional quilting, allowing the fabrics to feature, and adding just the right amount of texture to soften the quilt.
No surprises! For the back of the quilt for I have used my "go to" backing fabric which is Newsprint from the Paint collection by Carrie Bloomston. This is the perfect backing fabric for my quilts and handy to have yardage on hand!
Matched with my preferred black and white stripe binding fabric. (Note also the use of many "I Spy" fabrics in this quilt. There is so much to see, from animals, birds, flowers, to accessories, sewing notions, food and fruits. I love adding these little notes of interest to my quilts).
This quilt was sold prior to listing in my store.
If you're interested in purchasing one of my quilts - even one that I am still
working on - please don't hesitate to contact me by email.
