Quilting with a St. Patrick’s Day Influence
Quilts with a St. Patrick’s Day or Irish influence permeate our history in names and colors. Many of the quilts of our ancestors had names that revealed that origin and the phrase, “the luck of the Irish.”
These included: Irish Chain, Double Irish Chain, Double Irish Chain, Four-Leaf Clover, Triple Irish Chain, Shamrock and others. Then many quilts made in green of various hues reflected the color we associate with St. Patrick’s Day.
Kim Noblin, guest author at BellaOnline, offers a number of free Quilt Blocks and Patterns for St. Patrick’s Day. Check these out for some great ideas.
I wrote a St. Patrick’s Day post last year, Quilts Inspired by Green and Irish Chain.
Do you have any favorite patterns with an Irish influence?
Or green for St. Patrick’s Day and spring?
