Two-Color Irish Chain Quilt-Along: Week 7

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!
Amber

  3. 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
