Twelve Quilts of Christmas – #10
DECEMBER 21, 2012
Double Nine Patch, Single Irish Chain, c. 1850, Briscoe Center for American History, University of Texas at Austin. Maker unknown.
When I look at this quilt I cannot help but let out a sigh of delight! The simplicity of a two colour design sings in this example. And the triple border provides the perfect balance. Sigh!
What is your favourite simple quilt design?
Happy Stitching (and wrapping and baking)!

Mine wasn’t a sigh…..it was a gasp! This is stunning! I’ve always loved Irish Chain quilts, and this one is screaming at me to make it! Thanks so much for sharing it!
You know…..I’ve heard many people say that two-color quilts are blah and boring…..but there is nothing blah or boring about this stunning quilt! Yep…..sigh! :o)
Feels like the gazillionth time looking at it and I still sigh! It is such a stunner!
