Irish Chain Twist Quilt-a-long - Improv Piecing Units

Melissa Corry (Happy Quilting) runs some great quilt-a-longs.  The last one I was able to take part in was her Star Surround quilt-a-long and that was before I started blogging (so it has been a couple of years).  I love Irish Chain quilts and Melissa's version looked like such fun, I had no choice but to join in.

I am making the wall size (my walls in my sewing room really need some more color) and am using scraps from Bonnie & Camille's lines from Ruby all the way through Daysail.  I am pairing the prints with some Kona Navy as a background instead of my typical white.

This week's assignment was to make some Improv Piecing Units and they went together very easily.



Have you taken part in any good quilt-a-longs recently?

    For some reason these blocks are making me think of watching taffy being made / pulled. Weird... maybe I'm just hungry (or craving sweets)!

    Very pretty! I'm considering using navy as a background color for a quilt so this is very cool to see!

    The navy background for your squares is going to look so good!
