I squared the wedding ring, so when I hand quilt the outer edge, I have [ATTACH=CONFIG]429252[/ATTACH]something the hoop will grab onto. Each picture, I'll post a little note. Here goes.The quilt with out the border.[ATTACH=CONFIG]429255[/ATTACH]here is the picture with the cone/pyramid border.[ATTACH=CONFIG]429257[/ATTACH]The dble wedding ring squared up. All 4 corners, are squared up.[ATTACH=CONFIG]429258[/ATTACH]The template I'm useing for the center of the wedding ring.[ATTACH=CONFIG]429259[/ATTACH]Picture of the hand quilting, I've done already. Compare the template, and the hand quilting, I've done. I made a change with the template. I'm sure you's will see the difference.[ATTACH=CONFIG]429260[/ATTACH]HERES THE ??, I HAVE FOR THE EYE SHAPE. What can I do. I know to 1/4" in the inside of the eye shape.. But not sure if thats what I want to do. Any suggestions. TAKE CARE EVERYONE Don-isewman

    Don, so good to see your work. Sorry I don't have any suggestions. But I love what you have done so far. Maybe a elongated diamond?

    Wow, Don -- your center star quilting is great; looks very nice with the same stitching in the small pieces of the arcs. If you think it needs further quilting, maybe simply repeat the stitching you did on the smaller pieces, 1/4" around the inner edge of the eye shape. That would complement the wonderfully stitched center stars without competing with them. It's always inspiring to see your excellent work.

    Don, I have no input for quilting ideas, just has to admire your works in progress. As always a real treat!
