The first week of the Island Batik Irish Chain Blog Hop has been nothing short of inspiring filled with stunning quilts created by our talented Ambassadors using the timeless beauty of the Irish Chain block and fabrics from our newest collections! Thanks to our friends at AccuQuilt, who generously provided each Ambassador with an Irish Chain cutting die, these projects came together with precision and ease. From classic single chains to creative twists on the traditional design, each quilt tells its own unique story – which Irish Chain variation has been your favorite so far?
As we wrap up Week 1, we’re excited to share a recap of these gorgeous projects, and to announce our new giveaway! Keep reading to see this week’s highlights and find out how you can enter to win.
