Thanks Jennifer23! It was a surprise for sure! One I should have thought of tho, as I have shopped a lot in the US for fabric!

So, I've spent the last week making arcs, and ovals and middle pieces. I haven't joined anything yet. I think I might wait until I have them all done before I sew anything together so I can move the middle pieces around.

I have five different "creams" and six different blacks for the middle, so I will be "mixing" those up throughout the quilt.

I also just realized that I need to do "opposite" ends of the arcs with blacks ... I can't do them all the same, so I have to keep that in mind when I make the next batch!

Am I ever glad that I've done the double wedding ring quilt before so I can understand what I am trying to do, since I am not using any of the colours from the pattern!

Here's what I have so far

Love how you're keeping the darker fabrics mostly to one end of the arcs.
Will look fabulous when finished.

Looks like you are off to a great start. I'll be watching your progress too. Those are some beautiful fabric choices.

Your quilt so far, is stunning, and I to have subscribed to your thread to stay in touch with your progress. I have not made the quilted version of the Double wedding ring, but I did crochet it for my DIL. and believe me it was a ONE TIME Afghan. lol. But I have the acrylic templates to under take the DWR quilt. Good luck with your amazing quilt.

Absolutely GORGEOUS colors and fabrics!

I have one going in process now and it's going to take me forever to do. I put it aside to work on something else, but you have inspired me again to work on it and get it done.

Thanks for posting progress... I can't wait to see how yours progresses. Awesome!

Beautiful! I have been collecting batiks for this pattern for a while. Now that you are tackling it, I'm going to follow your progress. I might start mine too, now. :)

Wow! That is going to be gorgeous! I can't wait to see your finished quilt!
I started a DWR a couple of weeks ago and haven't gotten very far yet, with family and life always on the go.
