Join Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilt Co as she celebrates 15 years of patchwork paradise with 15 of our most beloved patterns. This week’s remake is the Irish Chain!
Years ago, flour was sold in cotton sacks printed with brightly-colored designs. When times were tough and fabric scarce, those sacks became dresses, curtains, quilts-even underwear!
This week, we’re using feedsack-inspired prints, Wild Flour by Whistler Studios for Windham Fabrics, to recreate one of our favorite old fashioned quilts. Irish Chain is a 19th century classic made with simple nine-patches. Of course, Jenny makes it even easier with jelly roll strip sets and a charming cheater cloth backing!

I love the simplicity of the scrappy Irish Chain quilt! The result really looks more complicated than it really is. My first queen size quilt was a 2-colour double Irish chain made before rulers and rotary cutters. It was pieced from hand-cut squares. I hand quilted it 1/4” on either side of each seam, while sitting on the floor with the quilt pinned to my jeans! This tutorial has inspired me make a a crappy Irish Chain lap quilt for my new trailer. I’ll quilt it with my new-to-me Baby Lock Shashiko machine. It will be done in no time at all! Thank you, Jenny, and all the wonderful Missouri Star staff! Stay well! Muskoka ON 🇨🇦

You have inspired me to move this one to the top and I am committing myself to completing the Irish Chain quilt in 2023! Happy 15th Anniversary MSCQ! ❤

For Jenny especially rn- you have been a true inspiration & blessing to me since I started my own quilty journey around 7-8yrs ago. Being often housebound, it’s been your tutorials & teaching style that helped teach me, from ‘nesting’, to binding ! A most sincere “Thank-you” to you & your precious family, for all the years of videos, help & amusement. You are all stars! Might you continue for *many more years, be a blessing to those who come across your site, & be blessed in return☺️🙏🫶 Nicki x

This is a brown bag quilt as Eleanor Burns would say. After you cut up the strip sets, put them into 2 brown paper bags. Shake them up, and pull out one of each. This is a great tip for people like me that would sit there for ages trying to pick the "perfect set" to sew together lol.
