My Scrappy Irish Chain

My Grandpa used to sing *My Wild Irish Rose* all the time, and for some reason when I typed My Scrappy Irish chain..... I sang it.....

Yep - Totally channeling my Grandpa these days....

Anyways - I bought this book (by Melissa Corry) a long time ago, and I wanted to make the cover quilt. I had always thought I could do it for my Rainbow Scrap Challenge. And then! I put the book away.... so dumb!

Well I found it again - and thought - I am only two months into the RSC for 2018 - I could catch up!!

And here I am:



I made 6 Light Blue Blocks, and am working on the Purple Scrap blocks - AND - I even tested making one of the chain blocks!! YAY!!>>

now I need to go dig for some more lights to set my chain pieces - but I am on a roll..

  9. Oh, that's an unusual IC. I like the scrappiness, of course, of both background and chain. It's a perfect RSC project!

    And my dad used to always sing "My Wild Irish Rose" especially after he had a nip or two of whiskey.
