Two More "Nine Patches"

Well it occurred to me on further consideration, that Irish Chain quilts are actually 9 patches of a sort.
The color wash irish Chain below was made for a niece, the colors were planned and collecting the fabrics was about a two year process. I failed to take more than this one photo before it was mailed, but you get the idea.

 The one below was made to use up some leftover fabrics from another project I think, it's been a long time since I made these two.

 I am now wondering how many other 9 patches will show up from my past!
