My Mom made the wedding ring quilt 25 years ago, and even though I was a garment maker and home dec sewer I really don't think I appreciated the work that went into that quilt. Her original objective was to make one for me, my SIL and her 6 granddaughters. She only worked on it during the winters and it took her 3 years. Needless to say, she never got in the mood to make another one. Lucky me to be the only daughter.
I used it on my bed for many years, now I display it different ways, on a bed, hanging or on a quilt rack. I change my quilts quite frequently. Try not to expose to direct sunlight. I have had to repair some of the hand quilting stitches, but not much. Also, I didn't realize you shouldn't wash quilts very much, so this one has been washed several times! I hope my girls don't fight over it when I am gone. Told older one since it is a queen size maybe they could have someone split it and make two twins. What do you think?
