This quilt was the topic of my very first blog post back in May. Seems like forever ago!
Chain Link is a pattern from the book, Link to the '30's by Kay Connors and Karen Earlywine. I loved working with the bright colors and learning the partial seam technique, even making the prairie points, although ironing them all was a bit tedious. Most of all, I enjoyed free-motion quilting all those feathers. They aren't the greatest, but all washed and crinkled they look just fine and I've spent more than a few afternoon naps under this puppy! This was my second quilt with thirties repro fabrics so I think I've got them out of my system now, just not out of my stash!
Hope you enjoy this and all the lovely entries in the Blogger's Quilt Festival! Thanks, Amy!

LOVE. Oh, my gosh. This is fabulous!!! The design is so fun, and I *heart* prairie points. The quilting is beautiful as well. Thanks so much for sharing!
Wow that is so many prairie points! I just learned about a little ruler that helps you do them faster -- they gave a demo on it at my local quilt shop.

sew very pretty, love the fabric selection and the pattern is totally FAB!
A perfect pattern, perfect quilt, perfect everything. Love it. I'm a new follower! :)
I just came across a box of thirties fabric. It reminded me of all those feed sack clothes from my childhood every time I looked at it. Now I just might dig it out and re-live the past. Thanks for the inspiration.
Your Link to the 30's looks so modern. Very pretty.
Love your quilt and isn't it wonderful how all those little hiccups in the free motions quilting disappear in the wash

Great quilt. Particularly impressed with those prairie points!
Very charming! I love 30's repros, and this is a great pattern to show these off. Love the feathers too. I'm somewhat obsessed with quilting feathers myself.
The fabrics in this quilt are just right, especially against the white. It shows then up perfectly. Great pattern to use them in, too. Your quilt looks lovely. So fresh and cheerful!
Beautiful! thanks for sharing. :)
