My Quilted Jacket from Fret Not Yourself

Figure out who you are, then do it on purpose.

Finished in time for cooler weather. The flannel batting was very difficult to seam and makes the jacket cooler to wear. Or perhaps the open neck makes it cooler. I like the shawl collar and it wasn't that hard to sew. Horizontal lines are matched on the sleeves; I didn't worry about matching each block of the Chain.

I started by planning the front then matched the same location at the seams as I moved to the back and sleeves. It worked pretty well.

Still Working on my Quilted Jacket from Fret Not Yourself

My sister finally visited me. Usually I visit her. What a wonderful week we had: butterfly pavilion, arboretum, choral recital, lots of meals with extended family… and the Quilt Festival. Lovely although smaller than previous years. We also worked on a shirt for her. Now she’s on her way home but we’re planning future visits.

Before she arrived I worked on my jacket. Each pattern piece has it's own translucent paper template that allows ...

irish chain finish from Making A Lather

Triple irish chain is now a finished UFO quilt from my 5 quilt project. I started this in 2012. The top just needed borders in 2017, and, then, has waited it's turn on the longarm. I really like 30's prints and colors. I think that is what drew me back into quilting. Around here, 30s quilts were mostly what we could find at antique stores. When I was a young quilter, I admired the work and dedication to make quilts during such a difficult time period.

84 x104 = 24 yards

I used a wide flannel backing and swirls ...

Tangled Irish Chain Apps 17, 18 from Virtual Quilter

More Irish tangles, with both applique and quilting included. The pieced blocks are easy, the applique is only a small portion of the quilt.

Love the first …

…. and the second!

Pink and dark grey is an unusual combination, but I like that it makes pink a bit more masculine than usual.

Pink and lighter grey is a much more likable combination for ladies.

An Irish Gardener’s Triple Chain 1, 2 from Virtual Quilter

If we can have flowers mixed with Double Irish Chain blocks, why not with Triple Irish Chains?

Oops! Forgot to turn one flower around, though I could have left them all standing upright! Despite that, I think I like the Triple Chain designs better than the Double Chains, but that could just be the different colours in the chains.

Triple Irish Chain 23, 24 from Virtual Quilter

Triple Irish Chain is not the most interesting block I have ever played with, but sometimes I really like what I find … and the one above is one of them. Lots of chain, but room for quilting to shine.

The quilting designs would have to be based on four leaf clover!

Irish log Cabin OP 28, 29, 30 from Virtual Quilter

I have a lot of fun mixing unrelated blocks to see what happens.

I usually get carried away by the blocks and just go with whatever fabrics I find first, and promise myself that I will play with colour another day, but that day rarely comes.

In this project file I love the textures created by lots of little squares and rectangles.

Ditto the above!!

Triple Irish Chain 21, 22 from Virtual Quilter

I have never seen a lot of Triple Irish Chain quilts, which is understandable, but I have enjoyed playing with the design.

The first design includes space for quilting to shine, which I always like, whatever block designs surround that space.

Not as much space for quilting in the second, but it is an interesting shape.

Burgoyne Surrounded by Irish 52, 53, 54 from Virtual Quilter

Basic piecing, interesting design.

More interesting than the first.

The final design for the day, and my favourite.

Interesting!

Amazing what can happen when you mix up Single Irish Chain, Double irish Chain and Triple Irish Chain blocks!

Irish log Cabin OP 2626, 27, 28 from Virtual Quilter

A Single Irish Chain block is pieced like a Chimneys and Cornerstones, a variation of the Log Cabin block, so it seemed logical to me to colour the Irish Chain blocks like a Cornerstones block … and mix in the other Irish Chain blocks.

Interesting effect with some of the blocks washed out!

I have just realized that I have only used Single and Triple Irish Chain blocks … need to find more time to play with these!

I also seem to have misplaced Irish Log Cabin designs in straight settings … setting out on a search party to find that project file.

Tangled Irish Chain 34, 35, 36 from Virtual Quilter

Single, Double and Triple Irish Chain blocks all mixed up … and I like the results.

Still liking it.

Still liking it even though there are no Double Irish Chain blocks in the last design.
