[@elizabethgilmon1419]

Love this! I really like the smaller ones. Thanks

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Thanks Elizabeth! The smaller ones are my favourite too. But with 48 of the larger blocks, you would get the same impact and a bigger quilt! Worth considering.....! Thanks for watching.

[@amylynn1345]

So sweet! I love both sizes! Seems like a fairly quick quilt! ❤

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Hi Amy - it really is fairly quick and easy to put together, especially if you are making a baby quilt. With only 20 blocks in the larger size, it is quick. It takes a bit longer to make the 48 blocks for the smaller size block, but totally worth it! Thanks for watching.

[@deemoody1954]

Great instructions! For a way to use fat quarters I’m all in!

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Thanks Dee! Fat quarters are great for these, but scraps will also work. I hope you give it a try. Thanks for watching.

[@BusyMagnaBee]

I like the smaller block just as well and immediately thought of my scraps. THANK YOU !!!

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Thanks Magna! I love the smaller blocks as well - I think I'll stick to those for baby quilts and use the larger size for adult-sized quilts. Thanks for watching!

[@benettemcneill984]

I like the smaller quilt blocks with the small quilt. I think the bigger blocks will look good on a bigger quilt.

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Hi Benette - that's my view, exactly! 48 smaller blocks make a great baby quilt and 48 larger blocks make a great size for an adult. Thanks for watching and I hope you give this a try.

[@vickiheath6133]

I was hooked on Fat Quarters, as they are my most favorite to collect. Even before you said what was needed for background I pulled out a 10 FQ bundle of Unicorns. cute cute cute ! I make many baby quilt tops for charity and tis is going in next, Thanks Michele. I will make the reg size just for time sake,

Hi Carylanne! I'm so glad you like this. And I'm sure the organizations that you sew for really appreciate the baby quilts! What a wonderful contribution to your community. Thanks for watching.

I love how you have reversed the Irish chain to have predominantly blue. So effective. And the smaller chain quilt is gorgeous. Thanks so much for this idea.

I like the smaller size better for the baby quilt but the larger block for the other sizes . Thanks for sharing.

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Hi Jammie - I agree! I think 48 blocks is the perfect number for the chain pattern. 48 of the smaller block makes a great baby quilt and 48 of the larger block makes a great adult quilt. Thanks for watching.

Very pretty. I never go to pieces that small so, yes instane, but you do you. Thanks for sharing

[@carlenekingery8860]

I made this reverse Irish Chain using 2 & 1/2” cuts for the four patch. Then 4 & 1/2” square for the next pieces & finished with 4 & 1/2” by 8 1/2” for the final big pieces. Finished to 12 & 1/2”. I’m making this into a king-size quilt.

[@bitspiecesquilting]

That sounds amazing Carlene! I think through all the comments and input, most of us have concluded that the right sized block should be used for the right sized quilt... the small size for a baby quilt, the medium size (from my video) for a mid-sized adult quilt like a throw or a double, and perhaps the large size, as you've calculated for a large quilt like a king! I'm sure it will look amazing. Thanks for watching.

[@carlenekingery8860]

@@bitspiecesquilting thank you for your comment. I just found your KZbin channel recently. Looking forward to watching more videos

[@patriciabryant6574]

Another good one Michelle. I particularly like the smaller version, it’d be great for lots of scrappy pieces as they would all ‘mush’ (technical term!) together. Also love the new hair cut!

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Thanks Patricia! Maybe this will fit into your scrap-busting September sewing plans? An mush together is a perfect technical term!! Hope you are well.

The cutting was great. Thank you

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Thanks Vicki! I've learned the hard way to measure first (or measure twice and cut once - as Dad always used to say). And even then, with my "design as I go" process, I often end up a bit short and have to figure out how to deal. Thanks for watching.

[@tchr1106]

Thank you for sharing your creative brain and the pattern you created. I have a fat quarter bundle of most lights and will use a complimentary solid for the chain. Your videos are a pleasure to watch and learn!

Love the Irish Chain pattern, both sizes, and I must be insane also as I am making one of your patterns with 2" squares!🥰

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Hi Linda - definitely give the smaller size block a try!! The four-patch blocks use 1.5 inch pieces and the rest are 2.5 inch pieces. Totally worth it!

[@kimberleyrussell9877]

Love the smaller one of course blue is my favourite I love the reverse colour it is striking thankyou kim

I love this quilt. Thank you for all the cutting instructions ❤I am one of those insane people who loves to salvage the smallest of scraps. I can see myself using this block in a tiny version with scraps. ❤😂

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Now that's a really interesting idea.... really, really tiny.... hummm. The math would likely be 1 inch squares for the 4-patch blocks, and then 1.5 inch pieces for the remainder. Not sure how I feel about that. But it might just end up sticking in my head until I give it a try. 😜 Thanks for watching.

[@michellegarraway2214]

I LOVE the smaller blocks. Great idea Michelle!❤

When I first saw the smaller size I had a bit of a wow moment. It looks great. Thanks for this.

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Hi Alison! At first I thought the smaller one would be a bit nuts - that the pieces would be too small to work with effectively, but once I started, I had the same kind of moment! And I'm glad I tried it. The smaller one is now my favourite. Thanks for watching.

[@claireoxleylang3047]

Michelle what stunning quilts they remind me of the sea with the white tops to the waves. So useful that you workout for us how to get the required blocks from even the small fat quarter. Thank you for inspiring x

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Thanks so much Claire! I wanted to show the importance of measuring twice, and cutting once!! Just like my dad taught me. I'm often surprised at how inaccurate the starting fabric can be. I've found 5.25 inch charm squares and jelly roll strips that are closer to 2.25 rather than 2.5. Best to be prepared from the start of the project! Thanks for watching.

[@jenniferjanson5933]

[@marlenesalamandyk878]

Love both the sizes ❤. The smaller size blocks are perfect for the baby quilts ❤

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Hi Marlene! Looking back on it now, I think I'll stick to the small size for baby quilts (with 48 blocks) and use the larger size, also with 48 blocks, for adult-sized quilts. Thanks for watching.

[@bethkoch11]

Hi Michelle! I really love both quilts. And my preferred look for a design like this is reversed, so you've made them just as I would. I get bored with quilts that have a lot of white background. I'm definitely getting your pattern and heading over to the drawers that hold my fat quarters!

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Hi Beth! So glad you like this! And I agree - there is far too much white or beige background out there. I once heard Maryanne Fons say that in India, pink is a neutral and I think she made a quilt with bright pink as the background. That has stuck with me, and while I haven't tried a really wild background yet, it would be good to stretch the imagination and experiment a bit. Thanks for watching.

[@annablock8037]

Absolutely love the smaller one. Wouldn’t that be nice as one of those leader and ender projects!

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Hi Anna - it would be a great leader and ender project! And before you know it, you'd have a whole other quilt!

Hi Tammy! Sounds like it's time to dig into the scrap drawers!
