Endless Chain

The endless chain quilt has been on my to do list for over ten years.  When the String a Long quilting group I belong to came up with a challenge to make a "Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend" string quilt, I noticed if I changed a piece in the block to be the same fabric as the background it gave me the endless chain block -  I was excited.  I couldn't wait to get started.  I choose to use my civil war fabric stash which gives it a scrappy, old fashioned look.  Because of the larger size I decided to make this quilt it seemed like an endless chain to get it pieced together.
All quilted, but not having enough fabric to bind this quilt I had to travel north to one of my favorite quilt shops for curb-side service.  With fabric in hand I made quick work of binding and taking a picture.
I'm extremely happy with the end results.  It's everything I was hoping it would be.  Again, every quilt I finish ends up being my favorite until the next quilt I finish.
I sent a picture of the finished quilt to my daughter in LA and she replied "who did you make that quilt for"?  I replied no one special - just a quilt I wanted to make.  Is that hint that she loves it too?  Well, she didn't ask if she could have it so I've folded it up and added it to my pile of finished quilts.
Speaking of my pile of finished quilts - I think I need to start finding places to display or store them.  The pile is ready to fall over unto the floor.

My Endless Chain quilt finished size is 92" by 92"

The weather has been cold with snow for the past couple days which has kept in in the house working on my UFOs.  In fact, my UFOs and to-do list is dwindling down.   Looking at my pile of unquilted quilts, there are only four left.  However, I still have six quilts that I need to finish piecing together, but I have really put a huge dent in my projects.  It's also great that I'm using up fabric that I already have purchased.  I have decided that as I finish piecing a quilt it will be quilted immediately, so I shouldn't have any more quilts piling up waiting to be quilted.
