I'm looking forward to seeing what we can make with the scraps, and I'm sort of excited that Kimberly wants to continue the DWR quilt. I will post again when I start cutting. Right now I still have a basket and a half of scraps to press. That may take til I'm 50.

I don't know if anyone mentioned it, but there is a foundation with the DWR printed on it. You attach the strips and pieces to it. We have it at our LQS. My DSIL has made many double wedding rings with that foundation system, and it will help your older fabric hold together with less stress at the seams. <wave> Plus, for beginners, it makes the process more achievable.
