When my youngest daughter was going to get married, she wanted a double wedding ring quilt. So I had an Amish neighbor piece it. Then I had a quilting at my house and invited my Amish friends. They put the quilt in a square frame made out of boards. It was completely stretched out and secured to the boards, with no basting. They started quilting on all sides, meeting in the middle. Starting about 9:30 am, they had the quilt out by 3:30 pm. We all had a great time. The quilt was beautiful. such good friends and neighbors.
