Took me a year.

It's amazing how different the pattern looks with different materials. Yours is beautiful, great job and can't wait to see its progress!

Thank you so much for posting your quilt.....you've given me inspiration. You've also made me think....."why didn't I do this is just a few colors and then I wouldn't be having such a hard time making sure the bands stay matched up." LOL
What did you do for quilting? I'm not sure if I want to send this out or do some hand quilting. If I hand quilt, she may never get her quilt! I showed my daughter your grandson's quilt and her first words were "does he know it's an Amish Wedding Ring"? :)

Judi......I think we're going to have to scan the pattern and post it onto QB to share with everyone. It's a great book isn't it? I really wish they had listed a difficulty rating though. It might have made me think twice. LOL

Great idea! I'm with you on the difficulty rating! If you don't mind, I'm attaching the one I made. Picture is terrible, but best one I have of the quilt. I literally finished it on my train ride there to visit them! LOL So took what I could get. The center square are dice ... his room motif is playing cards, dice, etc.
