double wedding ring

Hi and am back! After hours of sitting and sewing. I wasn't sure if I can really make the double wedding ring quilt. However, I have done it! It's a lot of curves and not so many ripping actually. Last night, I was up "late" and completed the top!


I randomly picked from my scraps and it is a testing piece I would say. The most I have learned from sewing a double wedding ring quilt is the accuracy from the cutting and piecing. I don't think I have the perfect cuts or piecing, but I think there's a point that I had to just work around with the matching curves together, but not pulling. Pulling is not so good for this pattern. It would not allow the melons, arches, and center piece match well. I have a few of that didn't match well, but I was glad I learned and will be able to fix up for the next double wedding ring quilt, I think it will be a queen or king.


I have a bad feeling about myself when I am into a challenge project. I forget things that are important around me. A couple of times, I forgot to fix dinner on the weekends. S was snacking in the kitchen and I didn't notice that. There were a couple of weekend nights I forgot to put her in bed early. She was up till mid-night. With the daylight saving it is not easy to tell if it is 7 pm or 8pm. My friend suggested me to set up alarm in my studio, so I can remind myself the time! That sounds ridiculously for me, but I think that might not be a bad idea.


I am really happy how the quilt turn out! It's bright and it's fun! I am sure it will be a fun piece to do the hand-quilting. I would like to thank my very special friend who helped me with the questions and sent the simple sewn arch and melon in the mail for me and workbook help a ton! Thanks! ( You know who you are!)

I'd like to share one little story when I was measuring the size. Originally I wanted to make a simple piece only 9 rings together, so I though 4 sections for each ring. So, when I had them layout on the design wall.. My rings kept going! Ooops.. it turns out 3 rings in cross and 5 rings down, so I have 15 rings instead. I didn't think about there's a arch/melon section shared between.

That's me! Holding the quilt! I didn't have any thing on my face and normally I don't wear any colors on my face, but I looked very exhausted. S did a good job on taking pictures for me even though I know it's blur ..

I plan on hosting a second blogversiary giveaway very soon and all the readers are invited. Doesn't matter where you live as long as USPS can reach your address.

Have a great day~
