Vintage Chains Quilt

I have finished another quilt-- this one has been 3 years in the making.  It is one of those projects that often took the back burner to other things I was doing.  I decided a couple of weeks ago that it had to be done before I started another.  So here it is.  The pattern that I used is on-line so I will post a link to the site.

The quilt is made up of two types of blocks.  This is one of them-- The five patch chain.  20 of these are needed.


This is the other block- the Chain and Knot block.  30 of these are needed.



These are the triangles that are attached to each end of a row.  The rows are actually assembled diagonally, instead of the typical horizontal row.



Lexi moves in to claim the quilt.  Yes, she will probably spend many nights on this one.
