A vintage Double Wedding Ring (DWR) for a friend -- quilted by Dee
 

I just got this quilt off the machine. My BFF found this top at an estate sale over 20 yrs ago -----for (drum roll)... $.25 --- that's 25 CENTS!!!! It was hand pieced......and had a LOT of issues. I was able to finally get it to lay flat, though I think it has a record number of "pleats" to get it to lay flat. I'll be tacking those down and binding it in the future. :) It's about 80 x 90" or so. I LOVED doing this -- the fabrics were beautiful! Oh -- this is all freehand.....no computer .....

Gorgeous!!!

Wow...I hope whoever made that quilt did some haunting..25cents??? Your quilting is beautiful!

Really is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful quilt and you did a great job finishing this. To think she paid a quarter for it. Your friend is going to love it.

I love this quilt and am so glad it found a deserving home. How sad that all that work was sold for 25 cents.

wonderful job you did on this precious quilt.

A lot of hours and dedication went into this top -- and your caring takes it to the next level....may you slept well under this for years to come.

What a nice gift.

Love the fabrics and your quilting too!

You did a lovely job with it.

WOW - and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

It looks lovely.

very nicely done

The quilting really enhances a great quilt!

Beautiful job. I once hand quilted a DWR my grandmother made in the 60's. It had lots of puckers when I first started but at the end it laid flat.

wow nice quilting and quilt

What a treasure. So sad for the quilter that worked on this years ago. I am glad you brought it to its glory and shared it with us. Such a beauty you now have. The quilting enhances it even more.

That is really beautiful...what a lucky find for your BFF and I am so glad it was rescued. It is amazing and your work is so special!

Awesome job on this! I can just imagine trying to get this on the rack. I love the motif you used in the diamond.

WOW! Love the quilt. It is absolutely gorgeous! :)

And the cost of quilting it? I hope more than 25 cents!!! Your work and the original quilt piecer is stunning!

The quilt is beautiful!

absolutely beautiful. I would love to come across something like this. Your quilting is amazing..what kinda of thread did you use?

Thank you everyone!!!

Suebee -- I used MetroEmb Thread. It's an economical poly thread....in a zillion colors. It has a sheen to it. Check it out....www.metroemb.com

You did a beautiful job. Keep up the good work. Nice feeling when you know it is all your own work. Georgette

I was just catching up on 'looking' and found your quilt! I can't believe that some one would have put that in a garage sale for .25...even 20 years ago! I have been looking at your close up photos of the fabrics...what great fun to just sit and look! You did a really glorious job of quilting it. I hope the little lady that sewed the top is looking down and smiling that now her quilt is FINALLY done! Enjoy!

What a beautiful job of quilting you did on that wonderful quilt. Am sure it's much appreciated:)

It is so beautiful, I cant imagine letting something like that go. Im sure they weren't aware of what a treasure it is. You have enhanced it and made it perfect. Enjoy!

You have given new life to this masterpiece by your quilting. Wow it is stunning!

You've done a fantastic job with this....whoever pieced it is probably beaming with joy:). Very vibrant colours and beautiful fabrics. Thanks so much for sharing.

Beautiful..

A beautiful quilt. You did a great job on the quilting. DWR was my mom's favorite design.

25 cents!!!! Wow. What a bargain. Love what you did with the quilting.
