I conquered the beast :)

I have always wanted to make a double wedding ring quilt - but I was afraid. My nephew is getting married this summer so I decided to dig in and make one.

Wow! it was a lot of work. They have a king size bed so this thing is monster size (at least for me) 113" x 102"

This is just the quilt top. Tomorrow I am taking it to the long armer. I am so excited I have never sent a quilt out to be long armed before

Thanks for looking[ATTACH=CONFIG]544238[/ATTACH]

You did a beautiful job! They will love it. Please post a picture of it when quilted! I have one about 1/2 done--when I run across it again it will get finished.

It's beautiful, they will love it and yes it's huge! Love the colors!

Wow! This quilt is spectacular!

That is a very large quilt. No wonder you sent it out. You did a very nice job in piecing this not so easy quilt top.

redstilettos 03-07-2016 10:16 AM

absolutely gorgeous. Would you consider doing another one since they are so much work? I've always been drawn to them but they look very daunting....

I'm guessing you are in for a big surprise! Your quilt is gorgeous and I can just picture some great quilting on it! Please share when you get it back?

WOW that came out great

You did a beautiful job; especially with the corner blocks matching. I made one years ago that was twin size and I hand quilted it. I now use it for a table cloth in my dining room. I can no longer hand quilt because of arthritis but I found it very relaxing.

nannyrick 03-07-2016 11:22 AM

Beautiful job!!! Thanks for showing it.

Well, I am indeed impressed. What method did you use to make your melon pieces? Thank you for your pictures.
What a wonderful gift!

Stunning. Super job. BrendaK

Thank you everyone :) I used the templates from Shar Jorgenson. She has videos on YouTube that I watched over and over again.

The colors were not my choice, they registered at the bridal registry with yellow and gray for the bedroom colors

I do want to make another one.. only the next one will be for me

Thank you for sharing! I have had in the back of my mind making a double wedding ring some day when I "got caught up" and "organized". I really like the way it turned out.
