Found a pattern online but it's in 2 pieces so do I turn it into one piece and go from there? I'm really excited about learning how to do this!
This is the pattern I found onlline. It's in 2 pieces. |
You'll use both pieces....the rounded one is the round/corner part of the flower and the other is the petals. You'll need to make a bunch of copies.....good luck and post pictures! :D

"double ring" is what my great-grandmother made for my mother and dad as a wedding present in 1945.

Grandmother's Fan is my choice, in honor of your grandmother.

I got one block done and love the way it looks! Still have to applique it and working on that now. It was so much fun using the paper piecing method. :-D
|
Lovely quilt and the quiling is very nice. Happy Quilting :-D

The completed quilt isn't one I made. It was just a picture I copied from Google. It is beautiful though. I'm going to use the pattern with my Grandma's material and make a 3 piece wall hanging.
