This striking mid-century Double Irish Chain Quilt dates to the 1950s–1960s, pairs this classic graphic design with charming printed cottons. The prints include mid-century motifs—tiny florals, birds, and folk-style elements. The hand-quilting is all in white thread and in consistent, diagonal grids throughout the quilt, including along the four-sided patchwork border.
The back is a floral/geometric print that has been turned to the front and machine-stitched to form the binding. The batting is lightweight.
