Apple leaf QIC (16) $30.00 USD
Pam asked if I could design a Triple Irish Chain - with leaves winding up the chains. Not a problem - thought I.
The trouble was, that this is a Triple Irish Chain on steroids!
- it is not a Triple Irish Chain
- it is not even a Quadruple Irish Chain
- what it is, is a Quintuple chain!
- it is not a Triple Irish Chain
- it is not even a Quadruple Irish Chain
- what it is, is a Quintuple chain!
The only Triple thing about it is the feature area which is surrounded by the chain.
However - chain pattern is now drawn and digitised - but for the quilt layout which Pam is quilting there are quite a few components to be fitted together to make it work.
There are instructions and a quilting plan in the Info and Free section so that if anyone else should have such a beauty to quilt there is help at hand.
Please note: I have tried to be careful in the naming of the patterns.
Everything is named in relation to the main design - which has a base and a tip.
- sometimes just a section from the base of the design is used
- sometimes a section from the tip.
- sometimes mirror designs are required
All these variations are included in the set.

Upgrades - if there are any additional patterns added to this set at a later date (someone is sure to come up with another variation), if you have already purchased this set - you can redownload it and all the additional patterns will magically appear.
Design Features
- the patterns with 'tip' in them are a bit of a pain. They are not regular p2p patterns.
For them to work they should be place as a regular block with margins = 0 inches.
There will be a couple of little stitches in a strange place to start - pull them out later - but this was the easiest way I could think of to get these patterns to place properly. - however, I have included a p2psu version of each of these patterns.
Intelliquilter users - for them to work for you there will be a couple of little locating stitches at the start of these patterns which you might want to unpick when finished.
