You might have remembered this quilt. It is an Irish Chain variation that I made a couple of years ago using scraps from our first two Moda Fabric collections - Nantucket, and Coming Home. I actually made two of them - one for Polly and one for myself. It wasn't an original design. I got the pattern from an issue of American Patchwork & Quilting. The article featured an antique quilt owned by Julie Hendrickson and American Patchwork & Quilting designed the pattern by studying this quilt.
When I posted this quilt on the blog while writing about hand quilting, we got many requests for the pattern. I gave the info on the magazine issue, but it soon sold out.
Now, to the good part......American Patchwork & Quilting has reprinted the pattern in their new bookazine - Sew Scrappy. This issue is on the newsstand right now. It's your chance to get the pattern. Good luck!!

Well, I'll be first. Great quilt; I remember it well. Cannot find this magazine, so I hope to be lucky! Thank you :)
I love that quilt. I remember the antique one from the magazine. It's wonderful made up in all your wonderful red/white and blues.
Have looked for this magazine -- not here in Bakersfield that I can find. I have Vol. One. Just love that Irish Chain Quilt.
I knew I should have bought this issue when I saw it on the shelf the other day. Back to the store I go.
I may have just found the perfect pattern for all the 'scraps' I just won!!!!! Thanks again

I have the magazine-saw the quilt-and thought to myself-"that looks just like Laurie's quilt!" It's nice to know I'm right! Love the quilt! Actually, I think it's the one I made for one of our grandson's who also loves it.
I made this quilt and I love it..I made it out of red white and blue. Go figure that..
Is your string quilt in the new book? (Hope so!)
I love this quilt, thanks for telling me where to get the pattern,
You convinced me- found the magazine at Sam's club. There are some great patterns.
What a coincidence! I have been looking for the magazine and just purchased it today in Nova Scotia! The quilt is beautiful and must have been a challenge to make...and you made two of them! Wow!
Hi! Greetings from Finland! That quilt is stunning! All of your quilts are so fantastic! It’s so nice to find other quilters all around the world!

Great Quilt!!!!!!!
