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)!
