Last night I started a new quilt - a double wedding ring quilt.
I'm using a free pattern by Freespirit (for some reason the only way to
find it is by googling double wedding ring freespirit, don't waste you time looking
for it on their website). I gave this pattern two trial runs already. I turned one into this pillow, the other one is a wall hanging.
I'm using mostly scraps for the arches, although I'm pretty sure I'll dig into my stash just to add a little variety to these fun blocks.
I now have 16 arches finished, only 64 more to go :) And then, once the quilt top is all finished, I would very much like to hand quilt it. Let's hope my fingers and wrists will be up for it. Fingers crossed.
Wishing you all a very fun, restful, and creative weekend. Svetlana
I have made a quilt top with this pattern - you can see it here http://www.cascadequilts.com/search?q=wedding+ring I used two jelly rolls and solid yardage and made it quite a bit bigger than the pattern. The intersections were pretty tricky to sew together and it doesn't lay perfectly flat (but close enough it will ''quilt out''). I think I'd probably use this pattern again though.
ReplyDeleteOh looks pretty already!
ReplyDeleteEeeeeek! I still haven't started my mum and dad's one yet! Need to get a move on! Jxo
ReplyDeletePretty cool. Are the arches paper pieced?
ReplyDeleteThis will be the most amazing quilt EVER,
ReplyDeletethis is a major project you are starting and complicated too, enjoy the process as the reward at the end will be spectacular
ReplyDeleteWonderful project, look forward to watching your progress.
ReplyDeleteLoving your fabric choices so far. It will be a family treasure when it's done and hand quilted :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, pretty! Can't wait to see how things progress. I loved your posts on the pillow and wall hanging, so this one will be no different.
ReplyDeleteWow!!! This will be gorgeous! You will be done hand quilting this entire quilt before I finish piecing the tone it down top.
ReplyDeleteThanks so very much for explaining how to find the pattern. I had searched and searched before... Another for my bucket list!
ReplyDeleteMy mom has talked me into just finishing my Hello Betty version of this quilt - now I want to make a scrappy version! Yours has inpired me!
ReplyDeleteLove the beginnings of a new project!

ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderfull already, and I would love to see you hand quilt it :-)
ReplyDeleteYour arches are so pretty! This quilt is on my to-do-one-day list, maybe you will inspire me to start it sooner rather than later!
ReplyDeleteI love those fabrics!! Keep us updated on it. I haven't attempted a double wedding ring but it looks like fun. :)
