"Why do mornings always come so early?"

 Asks Dolly.

 Because we were up late working on the latest version of American chain.

I'm actually working on 2 different versions of this pattern and will share some tips and tricks to create this design very soon.  If  you'd like to play along, assemble a variety of dark 2" squares and some background fabric.  Oh and be sure to locate your ruler which has 1/8th inch increments.  You're gonna need it.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
