Carolina Chain-ing

No automatic alt text available.

These are the five blocks I've made for Carolina Chain by Bonnie Hunter. My first block seemed to take me forever but I've become much quicker with just a little practice.

This quilt is made of dark chain quarter blocks and light chain quarter blocks. Each block is made up of 2 dark and 2 light quarter blocks. This picture shows 12 quarter blocks. I made these blocks into 3 full blocks.

Here are the 3 blocks. I've made 5 blocks, 67 to go!! This is such a fun project and so enjoyable since I'm just going at my own pace. I really love being able to use my stash.
