Spring Fling

This is my first Irish Chain quilt.  I pieced this quilt with quilting designs in mind.  There is a large alternate block in the quilt that begs for quilting. 

I started quilting it during my December break.  I had to finish quickly so I could start with other quilts in January.   It's pretty open quilting (for me anyway).  I wanted to get at least one of my quilts done for our local quilt show in March 2012.  I may have to put it back on my table and fill in with more quilting, even if it's after the quilt show!  Here are a few shots.
