double irish chain

I dont have a great one of this one so I will redo for you one day.
This won a ribbon at Marin Quilt Show, great quilting by Madelin Wolf, my quilting partner.
A traditional Irish Chain with antique looking blue and white fabrics, reflecting the true indigo dyes used in the 1880s.
I do have a series of antique quilts, both new-old appearing and the real thing I am saving and conserving.
This is a double Irish Chain.



Also I celebrate the Celtic woman warrior within, both Scotch-Irish and true Irish in my heritage from my mother ( the MacFarlands, Bents, Hales, all the way back to Irish kings).
The challenge of this quilt was accuracy, for you have to get all those squares to be correctly set with no mishaps.
