The quilt blocks reminded me of 4 leaf clovers, so I decided to go green to celebrate all things Irish. Then I found a splendid green and gold stripe, which I used for the border and backing, so I chose gold and cream fabrics for the backgrounds. Once it came to the quilting, I decided to quilt in the words of the prayer called the Breastplate of St. Patrick. It took a bit longer, but I always enjoy hiding cool things in my quilting.
Once washed and dried, it’s a lovely quilt to behold. I do see a few bleed marks and I think I can guess the culprit. Next time, I’ll soak it using Vicki Welsh’s magic instructions, and all should be well.

hope the bled comes out - I hate when that happens but have followed Vicki's advice as much as I can without having a spare bathtub to soak a quilt in the machine has to do
It's a great quilt! The only time I haven't been able to get bleeding out of a quilt was when a black bled on a black on white print. No other white fabrics in that scrap quilt got stained. I'm convinced that there was something treated on that one fabric.
This turned out so pretty! I love all the different sizes and how they play together. They do look like four leaf clovers!
beautiful quilt- it is a treasure trove of lovely greens.
Fabulous finish, Katie!! I'm a big fan of a quilt for all seasons. Although, mine is a (quilted) jacket for all seasons. Fun!!
