    Donna, can you please thank whomever does your filming. You are SO good at explaining everything simply and organized...but I'm also so impressed by the camera work! The lighting is spot on and they always film EXACTLY where I would want to look if I was standing there. It makes it so easy to see what you're explaining! As always, love the quilt - love the video!!!!! Thanks!!!

    Thank you for making quilts patterns that minimize complicated instructions, utilize time and fabric efficiently (no templates or cutting diagrams that look like home building blueprints) yet we end up with beautiful quilts that look like they were more difficult to make than they were! Appreciate tutorials too! About to make this one in Christmas fabric from Jordan’s 😊

    Oh Donna, what an absolutely gorgeous and fun quilt. I have never considered that these two characteristics could be in the same work of art. Your creativity and talent has most definitely made that happen in this beautiful Irish Chain Link quilt. The fabrics and colors you chose are so exciting, delightful arrays of fabulous color that are balanced, harmonious and spectacular. And then... just when I thought your creative achievement had fulfilled its full measure you unveiled a joyful surprise. What a perfectly imaginative, playful and truly beautiful backing you choose! Hearing you say that you thought you would take this quilt home for your bed made me happier..You are working ai hard to help us all. I'm so glad you are keeping this special quilt, designed and made in all ways by you. This quilt will bring joy to you and Matt daily. We all wish you an abundance of joy, health, happiness, and prosperity. Shadow boxes is an exquisite quilt. Giving it as a gift to one of your followers is so incredibly generous. Above and beyond. God bless. Sincerely, Anita Jonsson

    Ok, I have now watched this tutorial about 8-10 times I want to make 3 of these. Both of our children have wedding anniversaries on the same day as my husband and Mine - 06-07. Ours was in 1980, our daughter's in 2008 and our son's was this past summer in 2021. Also, our last name is Kelly - obviously Irish, and my daughter's last name is now Linder. His family has both German and Irish relatives.
    Thank you SO much Donna for these tutorials and free patterns. I hope to send you a picture of at least the 2 I make for my kids by this summer 2022.

    Out of all of the hundreds of quilting tutorials on RUclips, I love Donna's the best! She makes it light, fun, and energetic. Whoever does the editing does a fantastic job. Her tutorials are always a fraction of the time of others, but you are never left with any unanswered questions. Many others, like Shar Jorgenson's, are better than sleeping pills if you are having trouble sleeping, which is ashame considering how talented, and experienced, she is. She should take some teaching lessons from Donna! Thanks Donna! You make quilting so much fun, and after I watch one of your tutorials, I feel like I can master even some of the more difficult designs. You break everything down so that your gorgeous quilts seem obtainable for just about anyone. Thank you!

    I have just started mine! I am very excited! I don't know how I did it, but my 9 patch block is 6.25". I didn't cut my fabric for the solid blocks yet because I was waiting to see if I could be as precise as Donna and Matt....and I obviously can't! It's all good! It will be a little smaller, but that's ok! Thanks for another great tutorial!!!!

I am the proud owner of several handmade quilts that my great-grandmother made and handquilted. It amazes me how much work went into these beautiful pieces when all they were doing was making something to keep them warm at night.
    Thank you for sharing your expertise and love of quilting with us. I have made several small projects but am looking forward to tackling a larger quilt someday (soon I hope!)!!

  • @kimr3190
    @kimr3190 2 года назад

    Thinking about making an on point version of this to use some Kaffe precuts I purchased. I like the bg fabric next to all those gorgeous prints/colors as in my opinion the bg allows each fabric to shine without overwhelming the senses. I also picked up some one yard cuts of a few prints Your pattern helps resolve the need for more yardage for borders to make a good sized bed quilt which is very helpful because I am actually in need of a new quilt for my bed. Thank You for sharing your experience/tips for success/patterns. I have learned so much over the years & am always happy with the results when I make one of Your patterns/kits. The tip about using the weight to improve accuracy has made a big difference for me. Thank You so much :)

    I am just beginning to practice getting accurate piecing down-pat. The Irish Chain has been one of my all time "wanna-do" patterns and I like this variation. It should be a good one for me as a beginner since it is all squares ... no triangles or hour glasses. Thanks for the pattern AND, as usual, for your generous give-aways.
