I had a real hard time with this block but I will try again soon. I have to learn to do this.
When I first started quilting my Aunt bought this patter for me Because I saw it and said it was beauitful. She told me that this is my goal to be able to create this quilt. She 77 and I hope to be able to do it before she gone. |

This is the prettiest double wedding ring quilt I've ever seen. When you make yours, PLEASE make sure you post a picture of it. Thanks for sharing. Feathers |
It may be awhile still have a problem with pp won't try till I have pp down pretty good. Too pretty a quilt to mess up on. Its been waiting 1 1/2 years for me to get to it Atleast I have something to strive for and when I start having a problem and get to the point I 'd like to say I quit I look at this pic

Hi Ceanna:
I did something that is MUCH easier. I bought Omnigrid's Double Wedding Ring templates and instructions at Joann's for 50% off (coupon) about 5 months ago....you sew the colors wof then put the different templates on these strips of fabric and CUT out the rings. Works great. Have only made one block and made a potholder out of it for a wedding shower game gift...it was pretty much OK! Just a suggestion as I know you already have the instructions from your aunt but the templates and sewing the wof in all the colors really is easier. Feathers |
Thanks Norah and Patrice, I have to say that although these blocks are a struggle for me, I am learning a lot. I know that the more I practice the better I will get.
Keep challenging us, it is good for all of us, especially newbies like me. Thanks, Mary |
Ceannastahr, Will you please tell us about that pattern? (The name of it, who the author is, etc) I have never seen that Wedding Ring pattern before; it is beautiful!
|
You're welcome, Mary. Believe me, we are all learning and being challenged. I'm glad you stuck with it. Ceannastahr, I agree, that is the prettiest double wedding band ever. It deserves to be made. I hope this exercise in paper piecing helps you towards that goal. I want to see your quilt when you are done. I love it already.

PSSSSST!!! C'mere. i'll tell you a secret.
turns out the May 1st star was a bit trickier than expected. seems to be discouraging a lot of first time paper piecers and irritating some who've done it before. don't tell anybody, but i found a free pp pattern that you can use to practice paper piecing with small scraps. it doesn't have as many points, so it might be a better place to start. SSSSHHHHHH!!!! don't tell Norah or Patrice. just sneak over to http://www.paperpanache.com/challenges/06nosegay/06getpats.htm go on tippy toes. we'll just keep it between us. unless you decide to post it. :mrgreen: |
