SYork Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Someone posted a triple Irish chain block with a leaf design that looked so good. Did I save it, NO. Do I want it now, OF Course. Can I find it again, Heck NO. Could anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Was the leaf design a pantograph? victoriasews posted one in animal prints using a panto a while back. Do you remember anything else about the quilt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SYork Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I don't think it was a pantograph. I remember it fitting perfectly in the block. I tried to search for just triple Irish chain but didn't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I am guessing here but perhaps it is something similar to the open block that is quilted on Melora's quilt? It's essentially a circle wreath with leaves rather than feathers. Is this what you had in mind? Linda Rech quilted this quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I posted this a while back to help with an Irish Chain. Barb M used it on a quilt that she has in her studio. You are welcome to use the design if it works for your top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooh yes! And me "likey very muchy" how you quilted the curvy swirly lines in my block to create movement of wind. You rock, Linda R. That really is such a pretty quilt, isn't it. I love all of those blocks. So sweet. Even though I am not a Moxie in the true sense, I am one in spirit. Thanks for letting me be part of Melora's quilt. I keep Melora in my prayers. Here is Barb Mayfield's Irish Chain that was at MQS. It shows Linda Rech's rose and leaf design stitched out. Isn't it gorgeous? Barb did a beautiful job on this quilt. One of my faves...

Melora Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 My thanks too! I love my quilt, I usually use it every night I am home now that the weather has changed and we keep our thermostat on the low side. It was sooo thoughtful and really makes me feel all cozy and warm inside and out. Shana you can come anytime the moxies would LOVE it. They would fight over who gets you (hahaha) They will have every minute booked for you with awesome stuff. Just keep it in the back of you mind Linda great quilting, and great batting.

Luvstoquilt Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Meg What kind of batting did you use? It is just beautiful and shows off the quilting so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda G. Craig Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Meg, I was wondering the same thing. It's almost like trapunto, isn't it. I'd love to hear how you did it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meg_marsh Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 This one is easy to answer - 2 layers of batting! Used Hobbs 80/20 on the bottom and wool on the top. Since the QD Wool is so light weight it did not add much to the overall weight of the quilt. I also don't find that Hobb's 80/20 provides much warm (IMO) so using the 2 battings together made sense to me. Plus the added benefit of outstanding definition of stitching!!! Once washed, this combination looks even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda G. Craig Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Ah-huh! I knew it. I was wondering if there was a wool batt on top. It's really lovely, Meg. You did such a super job. I'm going to give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
