I got some serious sewing done today!
Here's my Double Irish Chain top finished!!! and the backing too...The backing was a bit of a surprise as I had carefully planned it so I could use the same cream fabric for the back...and guess what, I didn't have enough!!! Grrr So after some umming and ahhing, I decided to piece together some red yardage in with the cream to make a piece large enough for the backing. I'm really pleased with how they have both turned out.
Don't forget to head over to Nicole's Blog where is has a list of bloggers on the right hand side that are making two-colour quilts.

It's so pretty! Good save on the backing, too. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful! Lucky you to have some sewing time!!
I love double irish chains. It looks great. You folks are doing some nice 2 color projects, that is for sure.
Thats looks lovely. How are you going to quilt it?
I've tagged you by the way, details on my blog.
Wonderful top and backing!
I like to make patched backings.
It looks great - it's a fantastic pattern! Piecing the backing was the sensible option, and it works so well!
Looks great!
Beautiful!
Boy this came out great!
Gorgeous Jane! I hope to finish mine today.
