A Single Irish Chain quilt is very easy - it's just a nine patch block alternated with a plain setting square. The setting squares are the generally the same fabric (usually a light solid) as the background (the four squares) of the nine patch. The most important thing is that there is strong contrast between the background/setting squares and the foreground of the nine patch (the five squares that make the X).
If you still want a pattern, or if you're also interested in doing a Double Irish Chain, check out the book Irish Chain in a Day by Eleanor Burns (second link). She has very clear, very easy instructions. The book teaches both the Single and the Double Irish Chains.

Go to www.quilterscache.com then look up 'Irish Chain' under the Alphabetized Lists for an 18" block.
Or try this http://quickquilts.com/golden/qg24_pattern/ for a quilt called 'Fields and Fences' but it is a variation of a Single Irish Chain.

Sounds like you might have to go to Ireland for that one.
