Scrappy Irish Chain

Mary Margaret made this wonderful Scrappy Irish Chain quilt for her daughter.  Sometimes it is hard to get a sense of the size of a quilt from just pictures.  This one measures 110" x 110" and is one of the largest ones that has come my way for custom quilting. 

Mary Maragret really wanted custom quilting to fill the large white spaces (they were about 20" across).   After sending some doodles her way, she selected the feather and curl wreath design with continuous curves in the scrappy squares.

I added a complimentary design in the white inner border, and stitched in the ditch between the multi sized piano key border.
