Old whole cloth DD Wedding ring

Another older quilt this gal found in her moms treasures! I hadn't seen this type of fabric for quite a while. This was slightly off on the print, but she wanted it done anyway! I'm sure it brings fond memories from her mom back to relive every time she will use it!

OMG a treasure found. I love old quilts. These fabrics are perfect. The piecing is perfect. The quilting is perfect.

I remember when blue and mauve were THE colors. Back in the 80's. Looks very nice.

It looks great!

Wonderful job I don't think most of the people posting replies realize this was a single piece of fabric with the wedding ring pattern printed on, what used to be called "cheater quilts". Your pictures show that the quilting can really camouflage that this isn't pieced at all but a single piece of fabric. Did you use rulers to quilt the rings or freehand? If freehand, wow you did a great job on it! If rulers same thing, especially if it was printed off.

Thanks for your comment Feline, I was thinking I was "off" on thinking it was a cheater. Regardless, it came out beautifully with the awesome quilting.

Nice save on that one! Your quilting sure enhanced the pattern printed on that fabric.

Very nice quilting and a nice memory treasure for your friend.

This looks like "cheater fabric", which is different from a whole cloth. Nice job quilting "in the ditch".

I can't detect any problem with the print, and by following the circles as you did, you really enhanced the effect impression that it's pieced rather than whole cloth. Nice work.

You did a wonderful job with it. Yes, it will bring her fond memories.

You did a lovely job on quilting the whole cloth. You created a darling memento for your friend.:o

A nice memory quilt

cheater cloth, every fabric store used to have a row of it. Maybe late 80's to mid 90' I think. Some of it was really nicely done.
