    Helen, I have the option on my printer to enlarge or reduce. I'm thinking to reduce it to 75% because they do look like a huge block. I'll play around with it. I might have to scan what I have printed and do the reduction from a scan. Thanks for the heads up!

    Seven is a good number. Just assign one project to work on for each day of the week. Eventually, something will get done. :mrgreen:

    whats wrong with all of us. this happens to me and when ever I am in the middle of a project and find another one I want to do, I will sew a few pieces of the new project after I get done with a part of the old project. I call it using up the bobbin thread.

    Good! New way to justify the temporary insanity that afflicts us all. :lol:

    Thank you for the heads up for this pattern. I've made a DWR the old fashioned way, and believe me--it is very time consuming! I just may try another one, doing the paper pieced technique.
    Thank you again!

    I tried one by piecing several years ago and gave up in frustration. That was terrible!!

    Google paper-pieced Double wedding ring quilt pattern and you will see the site for McCalls Quilting. Templates and instructions are there in PDF for printing or to save.

    What's wrong with me?? :lol:
    If it makes you feel better, I am the same way. At least we are in good company.

    :D
