It's a beautiful quilt and a lovely keepsake and a pass me down quilt when they have a daughter.

Rosalie Monroe 01-21-2011 12:00 PM

Would you mind to tell me how many yds. of fabric you used to make your double wedding ring quilt ? I just ordered a pattern from Kay's quilting and it's a pattern you are able to make , quilting as you go and it's all finished when completed. Fabric prices have increasted and this pattern calls for 12 and 3/4 of just one fabric, I'm making a full size quilt. My problem, finding fabric to match all, at least three different to complement. I just thought that was a lot of main color. Thanks, rosalie

Laura you did an absolutely lovely job. I'm sure your daughter and her husband will think it was well worth the wait.... and, I predict this will becomes their most treasured wedding gift.

Kathy-Pgh 01-21-2011 01:22 PM

Wonderful work. I am so impressed. This is one pattern that terrifies me.

Laura3 01-21-2011 01:34 PM

Rosalie, I used the John Flynn method for making the quilt. The size I made was 80 x 90. The recommended yardage was as follows:

1 yard each of 6 arc fabrics
4 yards of background fabric
1/2 yard each of two corner fabrics

Let me know if that helps, I can send the requirements for other sizes if you need them.

sew beautiful.......

Rosalie Monroe 01-21-2011 01:52 PM

Laura, Thank you for the reply. We have no Fabric store in my area and have wanted to go find my fabric to start on the quilt. I have John's book on the wedding ring, but this one is a bit different and I wasn't sure about the yardage. Think I may end just making one that you have made since it may be to costly with increase in fabric. I want to use a good grade of fabric. Don't you just love this , Quilter's Message board, great to just read and see quilts others have made. Thanks again, Rosalie

Laura3 01-21-2011 02:01 PM

Rosalie, I am fortunate to live close to many fabric stores. But I still shop around on fabric.com. They offer daily specials and the fabric is very good quality and ships very fast.
I had never done curves before and found his method a little confusing at first. But once I got into it, it got easier. Let me know when you get started if I can help.
Good Luck...

Laura

Gorgeous quilt. I love the soft colors and the suttle pink diamond centers. Your hand quilting is stunning also.
