From Don-isewman--Another quilt top done, today

1st off-THANK YOU--THANK YOU--NELLIE DIAZ...She sent me the set of templates for this quilt top. She had a EXTRA set, she gave me...I finished another quilt top today. Its a double wedding ring. This quilt top is 1 that was on the spurge of wanting to make a quilt. I had lot's of 2 3/8'' sq's. Why they were cut that size, I dont have any ideal. So after Nellie, sent me the template set, I started cutting out the pieces sometime last month...I'm going ASK FOR SOME HELP. I want this quilt to be squared up. I want a straight edge all the way around. On the straight edge around, I want to take what 2 3/8" sq's I have left, and sew them around the straight edge. And then sew a strip around the sq's.[ATTACH=CONFIG]421578[/ATTACH]This is the finished quilt top. [ATTACH=CONFIG]421579[/ATTACH]The corner of the quilt. Like I said earlier, I want too, somehow, square up all of the rounded edges. [ATTACH=CONFIG]421580[/ATTACH]Just another picture, I took. TAKE CARE, EVERYONE. Don-isewman

I have 2 of these and I bound it with bias cut binding. It was kind of hard, but I did it, because my Mother-In-Law made the top and she didn't want me to square it up. She is gone now, and I didn't square it up. I love yours. And yours is perfection.

I find the scalloped border on Double Wedding Ring one of it's best features. If you think the bias binding will be a pain, do a facing border. Lovely top!
