When
your last name is Ireland, well, you can't let St. Patrick's Day go
by without sharing a green quilt!
I'm
sewing a different one now, but made this little table mat a few
weeks ago. It's actually multinational, since I used dies from
Australia. Green batik and a lime green print contrast nicely with
dark green polka dots on a pale green background.
I
separated the four sections with 1” sashing, then bordered the
outside with 2” strips. The reverse side features the two green
prints. I quilted with variegated green thread, using a ruler
template to make stylized circles.
Irish
Wishes is 18” square. Now I need to wish for a pot of gold, but I'll
settle for a pot of shamrocks.
Blue
Wren Dies used:
6369
Jackaroo Star 12” finished

Don't
forget to wear green on Thursday,or
the leprechauns will pinch you!
