This triple Irish Chain/Sunshine and Shadows is beautiful. This was created in the 1930’s with 1920’s and 1930’s fabrics. Most fabrics are from the 20’s. After 1929 depression, most fabrics were reproduced for many years after that. This piece is composed of hundreds and hundreds of 1/1/4 inch square. This quilt top is not only great for a fabric junky, but will work with almost any home decor. In addition, there’s a double border. The first border is a 1 1/4 inch yellow strip the second border is 1 1/4 inch square all around the edge of the quilt. I have never seen anything like it. What a pity it hasn’t been quilted because when it’s finished it will be absolutely gorgeous. The double border is only completed on 2 sides. When someone buys this quilt, I’m happy to supply 1920 and 1930’s scraps to finish it.
