Hello hello!
It's week 7 of the Two-Color Irish Chain Quilt-Along!
Can you believe there's only one week left after this? It's gone by so fast!
I hope you're staying on schedule because soon you will have a beautiful quilt top!
This week's assignment is quite simple.
Just sew two A sections that you made last week onto opposite sides
of the 6 1/2" x 10 1/2" color 2 rectangles to create the Alternate Blocks.
TWIN:
Make 31
QUEEN:
Make 40
Directions:
1. Sew an A section to the top of the 6 1/2" x 10 1/2" rectangle. Repeat with the
rest of the 6 1/2" x 10 1/2" rectangles for your chosen quilt size.
2. Sew the remaining A sections to the opposite side of the 6 1/2" x 10 1/2" rectangles.
3. Press the seam allowances toward the A sections.
4. Now sit back and enjoy the fact that all your blocks are D-O-N-E!
Yay!!!
That's it for this week!
Have a great day!

I've got all my blocks done and put together, but now I'm deliberating whether I want to add a border or not...or rather whether I have the fabric I need to do a border without having to buy more fabric lol
ReplyDeleteSo what did you decide!?! LOL
DeleteThank you so much for all your hard work Amber. This is my first quilt and you have made the journey real easy and enjoyable.to beenmake a quilt is something I've always wanted to do but never had the confidence. Between you and my sister I've managed it. Thanks 😊
