Do You Recognize This Design?
The Double Irish Chain is a very old pattern but one which has always been popular. Several years ago this department printed it on a leaflet, later on discontinuing it, but because the demands for it have been so many, here it is reprinted and ready for you to send for it.

By Edith B. Crumb

Do you remember several years ago when the Double Irish Chain quilt pattern was issued by this department? Many quilts were made from this design and one even took a prize at the first Detroit News quilt show in 1933. It was won by Mrs. WM Russel of Richmond and was made with a background of rose ground print with a white design and the blocks were of white ground print with little pink and green rose buds.

Then when so many saw what a lovely quilt could be made from this pattern there were requests for it, but it had been discontinued; but now, just to make you happy it has been reprinted.

This quilt may be made of a color and white or a color where the black patches are shown and all kinds of little prints where the white patches are shown, the large space beige of white.

You may work out all kinds of schemes such as red and green with white; yellow and green with white and the materials may be plain figured or a combination of the two kinds.

If you don't have a Double Wedding Chain quilt it is one you simply must add to your collection. It is a very very old pattern and just as charming as the day it was first designed.

If you wish this leaflet just send your address with five cents in postage to the Public Service Bureau of the Detroit News. Be sure to include the catalog number-ID 30, and it, with any four others you select, will be mailed to you unfolded to fit the new holders.

Or, if you prefer, you may call for them in person at The Detroit News Service Bureau in the main building of The Detroit News at Second and Lafayette boulevards or at the branch office in the Majestic or General Motors Buildings.
