This very lovely Double Wedding Ring quilt has been entirely hand pieced from a variety of floral, geometric, solid, calico, and plaid cottons. The 2 3/4 inch solid lavender and yellow joining blocks are a lovely counterpart to the wide array of patterns found in the rings. The maker chose pure white for her ground color. The scalloped edging on all four sides is framed in lavender and is elegant. This treadle machine topstitched 3/8 inch applied lavender binding accentuates both the scallops and the interior design beautifully.

Carefully hand quilted using even stitches in a gothic X motif for the ring centers and a chain motif in the long white ovals. The joining blocks have been cross hatch quilted throughout with parallel curved lines in all the rings.

The backing is a solid sunshine yellow cotton. Made in the right size to allow for a pillow tuck on the bed. Professionally hand washed by Betsey it was hardly used, if at all, and is clean, crisp and perfect. Please ask us to see this quilt on approval in the privacy of your home.
