    I love this Irish Chain; watched the tutorial even though I have made a few of these but I love the colors on this one…it is beautiful!

  • Debbie P

    Really, really dislike the pink background on the comments section. Can’t read it. Is it just me? Don’t think I’ve made any changes.

  • MissouriQuiltCo

    Sorry Debbie, we upgraded and didn’t notice the change. I’ll have our computer guy take a peek and see if he can fix it

  • mortonkarena

    Oh I’m so glad someone else is having difficulty with the pink background! I thought it was because I recently had to change to Google Chrome to get to the blog. The white on the pink background is hard on the eyes.

  • Debbie P

    Thanks, hope I didn’t sound bitchy, that wasn’t my intention.

    Okay, if we come in to see the quilt will Ron play an Irish Jig for us on the piano?

  • erin

    Are the directions and fabrics used in print anywhere? Would live to do this exact quilt. Thanks

  • Rin

    What a fun tutorial. Thanks for sharing. However, I just got sucked into watching all the ones I had missed recently and I don’t know where the time went :)

  • Chris/WI

    “BEAUTIFUL” quilt my kind of colors. If using bella solid snow then why does it look like a cream bkgrd? I can’t seem to to get into YouTube channel to be notified on new tutorials?

  • GabiP

    Jenny, PLEASE, please, please do a simple/easy table runner that can be easily adapted for the holidays coming up. I am VERY new to quilting – in fact, watching you on YouTube is what got me started. Then I happened upon the Craftsy classes and purchased those as well – you are amazing! You make me feel like you are with me in my craft room. It would be even better if you could do from start to finish, but I am getting there. Please consider, I am a HUGE fan.

  • Sarah

    Bella snow is a very creamy color with yellow undertones. Kona snow is very white. Hope this explains it. It’s hard to keep all the colors straight from different manufacturers! Hope you have a great day!

  • Sarah

    Hahah! I know how that goes!!

  • Sarah

    Hahah!! I am sure that could be arranged!! LOL! Sandy, you need to come see us soon! I have something for you! :)

  • Grammytheyeti

    YIKES! Ouch on the eyes with the pink background. Now…
    Adore this quilt! I’ve been searching for a pattern to make a long quilt (9 ft) for my 6’8″ son and I think this is it! Thanks!

  • Jackie MSQC

  • Jane

    This is very hard on the eye’s to read.When will you blog again?I miss your story.Who ever write’s the text for the Daily Deal is doing a great job.They are fun to read and informative as well.

  • Jackie MSQC

    Thanks Jane! We will be changing the color- so sorry about that! I’m sure a blog will be posted soon, as we have so much to “blog” about!! :)

  • Aldora Mira

    Thank you for teaching this very beautiful work

  • Jackie MSQC

    You’re so welcome!!!!

  • Ann H.

    I also need directions to the table runner as I just ordered the material for it.Thanks
    for replying quickly

  • Jackie MSQC

    Hi Ann, We do not yet have the pattern for this table runner, only the tutorial at this time. Let us know if we can be of any assistance, and help you with this!

  • Mary in nj

    Jenny, I have loved this quilt pattern for years but never made it. Thank you so much. I have the Bella snow jelly roll in my stash. How much yardage do I need to purchase for the big squares? Or do you use the jelly roll for that too? I am unsure as to how they are made. I am a VERY beginner quilter. It was your tutorials that got me going. Mary in NJ

  • Natalie

    HI Mary, I would use about a yard and a half of solid fabric for the big squares. That should be plenty to get you started! They should measure about 6 1/2 inches square. But you will want to measure your nine patches and make your solid squares whatever size your nine patches are. I hope this helps!

  • Flo

    What size are the white sashing pieces?

  • Darlene

    Love the tutorial. Could not find the directions and the fabics used in print anywhere?
    Would love to do this same exact quilt.
    Thanks
    Darlene

  • Debi in Whitman

    I have watched many of your tutorials Jenny and have enjoyed them all!!! But my question to you is
    WHERE DID YO GET THAT YELLOW IRON!!!! I love how after you iron your fabric the iron lifts its self up off the board! thank you for all your tips I will enjoy making a few of these quilts! I give you 10 Stars.

  • Linda

    I just discovered the Missouri Star Quilt Co. and oh my gosh–I absolutely love the tutorials app that I loaded on my smart phone. I can watch the videos wherever I am! The instructions are so clear I don’t even have to have a pattern. Thank you!!!

  • Sue

    I am waiting for Christmas vactation to start this project! I am so excited to make this quilt for me!!!! I’m hoping for lots of snow days so I can get this done! Thank-you for your awesome tutorials. I love using them.

  • Mary

    Jenny, your so gosh darn cute and I just adore your tutorials! I’ve started shopping at Missouri Star Quilts because of the tutorials and the awesome daily deals! The Irish Chain is awesome! Definitely on my bucket list!

  • kdwhitley

  • JackieMSQC

    Hi,MSC team,

    I would like to see how a quilt would come together with using the irish chain, pin wheels and the wedding bands as the surounding edge and binding of the quilt. Jenny can you wave your magic over this one request? The newly wed couple I want to make this style quilt are very dyanmatic and they requested hot pink in their accent colour. I am currently very stumped on how to pull this together~!!! I would fly overseas from down under for a paid one on one, but my docs tell me I’m not allowed to fly. Jenny, Will this challenging teaching point meet your exacting standards to bring higher scholastic achievements to your world wide web of students??? I hope so because I am so stuck on this desigh………..Please help!!!
    Thank you in advance,
    Kind Regards,

    Shar’ron (an addicted Missouri Star Quilt Co tute aholic).

    Victoria, Australia :-)
