Default My fickled quilt

A few months ago I set out to make a double wedding ring quilt. After making several of the arches and trying unsuccessfully to make them look right I decided to use the arches around some stars. After making several of the circled stars things still looked a little off. So I made some stars without the rings and once again I wasn't happy with it. I looked through a lot of my quilting books and found the little appliqued bird squares and the quilt came to life. It knew what it needed all the time, it just took me a while to catch on, lol.

Lovely quilt. I really like the look of the wedding ring arcs with you MC style stars.
