I hate having to turn anything under ( I'M LAZY) just satin stiched on the machine
|
sounds good to me.I'm not patient if things get to fussy......you can't tell at all........what's a satin stitch for if not to make use of it......looks great :D

Thank you I'm feeling better every day how it turned out.

I agree that a wedding ring quilt looks very hard with all the curves but very pretty. A dear elderly friend of mine quilts wedding ring quilts, but all by hand. |

A tip for anyone interested in appliqueing the "plates" to a background. Sew a running stictch at the edge of each plate knotting the thread at the begiining and leaving long tails at the end. Simply pull the thread a little bit like making a yoyo. The edge of the "plate will gather up a little and the raw edge will turn under slightly. Press it and then you can slip stitch it to your background. I did this on pattern called "Dancing Fans" at Christmas and it worked like a charm. Hope this helps anyone who is intimidated by this pattern. Its not that hard a pattern to do and looks great when completed. Mine had 12 blocks and wide sashing and borders and was big enough for a queen size bed. |
Beautiful work!

Maybe at the end of year two. Have you made a sun bonnet sue? which would be easier? Maybe I could make a pillow top to test it out......again good work
