Island Batik Ambassador's Irish Chain Blog Hop with Accuquilt

This month the Island Batik Ambassadors received the new Irish Chain Die from Accuquilt.  Irish chain is a very traditional pattern and always fun to make and the Accuquilt die makes it super easy to cut out.  It was fun to take a picture of it with all my spring bulbs in bloom!



For this blog hop I received the beautiful Jabberwocky Collection.  These patterns are fun and modern and were a blast to play with.  I pieced my quilt using my favorite cream Aurifil thread and pressed flat with my Oliso iron.


I had fun quilting my project using my favorite Hobbs 80/20 Cotton/Poly batting and Schmetz Microtex needles.  I did a bunch of continuous curve over the entire surface.


I used the orange - purple plus the white print for the x's in my Irish Chain.  I then used the yellow-blue for the backgrounds.  I love how the rainbow came out and I think the blue binding sets it off nicely.


Be sure to click to enter to win a fat quarter bundle from Island Batik!


I hope you get to quilt today!
Suzy

    Rather than gather quilting supplies and hauling them in and out of the car, I prefer to spend my time quilting in my quilt studio at my home. A win win for me!!!!
