Irish Reel - Straight to the Point Series

Simple one-patch and nine-patch blocks make Irish Reel very easy to sew. Irish Reel is the Seventh in the Straight to the Point Series. Blocks are 6", 7 1/2" or 9" depending on quilt size.

Choose just two fabrics for the one-patch and 9-patch blocks to create a traditional Single Irish Chain quilt. Use quiet fabrics for the one-patch.

If you like the blended look of our orange flowered quilt, choose a strong fabric for the one-patch and pair it with a high contrast fabric in portions of the nine-patch. The blended version is a wonderful quilt to feature large scale fabrics.

All the blocks are set as straight rows. The quilt is then cut and resewn into an on-point setting. The are NO diagonal rows of different sizes and NO setting triangles. Our technique makes On-Point sets a snap. See our quick demonstration page.
