I took a class many years ago to make a double wedding ring. I was cutting the pieces and my young teenage son asked me what I was doing. I explained to him that it was a wedding ring quilt and he could have it when he got married. His reply was, "Well you have plenty of time because I'm not getting married for a very long time." Well needless to say many things happened in the meantime: illnesses, surgeries, divorce, moving 2 or 3 times. Eventually, I decided I MUST finish the quilt. I tracked down the teacher of the class and she said she would help me get started again. So the two of us worked on that beast. She was very expert, me not so much! At last it was finished and quilted. I gave it to my son Jordan and his lovely new wife Emily when they married and he graduated from medical school. It is the most challenging and beautiful quilt I ever accomplished. It is so gorgeous. And the best part is that the teacher Donna, has become a most treasured friend. She is as precious and spectacular as the quilt. Maybe that's more of an answer than you wanted but that's my story! Yes, I'm crying in the first picture because I was so overwhelmed and relieved and wistful all at once!
