It is hard to believe that we are already finishing up our last blocks on Happy Quilting's Irish Chain Twist Quilt Along. It seems like we just got started!
Here are all five of my appliqued chain blocks. Rather than follow the instructions for a raw edged applique, I decided to needle turn my seed shapes. It probably took a lot more time but hand sewing is something I really enjoy.
With all the blocks finished, I am assuming this week we will be sewing up the quilt top. I searched my fabric for a backing and didn't come up with anything I liked. But I did make a trip to my favorite LQS shop today and found that fun dark pumpkin printed with green Xs. I think it will be perfect for the back - this quilt needs some color!
To see the blocks made by other quilters, you can go here. There really some fun, bright fabrics being used!

Pretty blocks! And I really like your bold backing fabric.
Cynthia, your blocks are wonderful. Love the needle turn blocks.
I was admiring your green applique blocks, and then looked a little closer and realized I have some of those bunnnies! I found them in my stash and used them in the green bar of my Rainbow Scrappy Bars quilt! It's a small world for us quilters!
I really love the green fabrics you are using and can't wait to see the finished product.
Great color in the backing you chose. I also like the green in your petal blocks.
Oh wow Cyndy - it's like that backing fabric was made for you quilt. Beautiful work with your appliqueing! This will be onde gorgeous quit and I am looking forward to seeing how it turns out!
