I finished the Irish Chain quilt --

Here are some finished pics --



Some of the center blocks have a dense quilting pattern ..


All of the 9 patches have a squiggle pattern. 



Some pics showing the diff fabrics --




All done -- I really do like the pattern and the quilt. I think any time I want to make another Irish chain I will remember there needs to be lots of contrast between the chain and the background.

It is Labor Day weekend! I love this holiday .... I'm having a sale on my Etsy to celebrate the cooler weather coming. George and I are making quilts and going to New Orleans parades this weekend. So much fun. I was out shopping and saw this hilarious pic! Mirror images are not who we are! I am the person I see reflected in the faces of people who love me. Although ... I did take this selfie today, too. Quilt stuff? I'm making a star quilt for my bed. It will be partially scraps and partially other fabrics that were gifted to me or bought. I think I'm going to make an effort to make it clash as much as possible! Hope you all will find some fun this weekend. It's for us. The workers.
