Let
me just say that a double wedding ring quilt is NOT a quick one to
sew. Even with Accuquilt, it took several hours to cut all those
pieces, and many days to stitch them all together. Thank goodness my
Janome machine has an accurate quilting foot and automatic lock stitch function. I decided right
away to make it a lap quilt instead of queen size!
It was good for me to take my time, and practice patience. Going through my scrap boxes to choose fabrics and laying them out on my design board was relaxing. I love the old fashioned vintage look of Entwined. The pastels and white on cream go together nicely.
Quilting
was done with cream thread ¼” away from the inner and outer seams
of every circle. I used Creative Grids ruler Elvira by Angela
Walters to create a curvy design in the center sections. Finally, I
sewed light gray bias binding to the edges.
I
love the look of the double wedding ring quilt, but I don't think
I'll plan another one any time soon. Early quilters who hand
stitched and hand quilted this design have my respect and admiration.
