5.0 out of 5 stars
Very good instructional boook for an easy first quilt.
I recommnend the Irish Chain to friends who want to learn piecing. This simple quilt always turns out well and is a do-able and motivating choice for that first project. The book teaches rotary cutting and uses time-saving techinques to simplify the project. Easy to follow instructions. Illustrations. Gaurenteed success.

Disappointed
I ordered this book and was so disappointed with the quality that I returned it. I thought the printing was so crude that it looked like it was printed on a mimieograph machine. In my opinion the book "Time For A Chain: The Irish Chain Updated" is much better quality, easier to understand and is laid out better.

This is like most of Eleanor's books well thought out. A very easy step by step approach to the quilt, with good directions and fabric amounts for just about any size quilt you care to make. I use this book in my beginning quilt classes.

It's a great quilt...,

I loved the Irish Chain but it took me a lot more time to complete than a day. I am not a big fan of her quick turn method for putting the batting into a quilt "pillow Case". I gave it a try and it was a mess. I will always use the tried and true way of layering and binding the quilt.

Eleanor Burns does it again!,
By E. Carley "Coastermom" (The birthplace of flight) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Irish Chain in a Day: Single and Double (Paperback)
Eleanor makes this complex-looking quilt simple. Cutting and assembling the fabrics in strips makes the chain pattern come together beautifully. Might be too much for a beginning quilter; perfect for someone who has already made a quilt or two.

I didn't do it in a day, but the instruction is pretty easy to follow. Color pictures. Highly recommended.

Not quite as easy as I was expecting,

This review is from: Irish Chain in a Day: Single and Double (Paperback)
As a beginning quilter I got this book b/c it was supposed to be good for beginners and easy to follow. I didn't find it easy to follow or use at all and got another book instead. Of course, this could just be me. With all that said, I wouldn't recommend it if you aren't familiar with quilting.
5.0 out of 5 stars

I rec'd my book in great shape. Altho I was a little dissappointed, ( I was hoping it included a triple chain) The instructions are clear and I will put the book to good use.
