Abbi Mays Exclusive Quilt Kit: Triple Irish Chain

When Sue (our quilt sample) saw the Spa fabrics from Timeless Treasures she immediately said to me: "we need to make an Irish Chain".

This is what she ended up with - one heck of a beautiful quilt:

This quilt turned out to be 106" x 106"
(and is big enough to be a bedspread on a queen size bed or a quilt on a king size bed) 

The block is 12" square finished.

Skill level: Easy Piecing!

She choose only 4 fabrics (3 from Spa and Moda Bella Solid):

and used the book from Eleanor Burns: Triple Irish Chain




We had our quilt quilted at Judy Kracker's Quilting
