Irish Chain

 This a traditional quilt pattern that gives a lattice kind of effect.

Alternate blocks are used to make the trellis and the gaps in between the trellis can be used to highlight quilting patterns, show off applique or place mini blocks within your design.


Irish Chain Quilts can be single, double or triple

Double
