Some time ago I adopted a bag of old pieces
labeled for a Double Wedding Ring quilt.
The cardboard templates
for some of the pieces were included and a few arcs were sewn together;
however, there was no center melon or center.
I decided to use the already made pieces
and sew a few more to be enough for a comfort quilt. I created a freezer paper
template and then a no-melt mylar template.
I brushed liquid starch along the edge first and then turned the edges
over the template and pressed.
After laying out the design, I used a blanket
stitch to applique the pieces to a background fabric. The arcs don’t form a
nice circle but an interesting shape.
Monday I spent the morning on yard work and made a dent on trimming back hedge.
In the afternoon I finished the blanket stitching on arcs. I am considering whether I can use some of the pieces for a border. Many more precut pieces remain in the bag I adopted.
Enjoy some sewing or
quilting time.
