    Thank you for sharing, This past summer I had the privilege of completing a dream for a very special lady and her family. A Wedding Ring quilt that had been in the making for 70 years. When I received the top, all the melons were gone and onlly the rings were sewn together...I laughed when I pulled it our of the bag...the Holey Quilt. Yes, I unsewed all the rings and sewed in the melons and completed the top. Many helping hands made it possible to complete this project - the quilt brought comfort to all that were involved in making it possible for the family to cuddle under a wedding ring quilt. When I scrolled through the instructions made possible by you....I know just making the instruction possible for everyone was very time time consuming and I admire your efforts in sharing how to make a Wedding Ring quilt. It also brought back the warm feeling I had while complete the project. Thank you.

    :lol: with joy! But i've forgotten your name. This is a wonderful A+ lesson. The writing is clear and the photos are so clear and illustrate the point perfectly. As I looked through it I had questions, but before my brow even began to wrinkle you answered them in the next paragraph or photo. This is the best nugget i've found on-line about quilting. I've been wanting to do this quilt but haven't tried as I thought it would be a long and tedious process and that I wouldn't get the curves right and nothing would fit together. Now I'm going to make a WR quilt for sure and soon. I have many little grand nieces and nephews (no grand children yet) all of whom have been promised a quilt, at least in my mind. Foundation piecing is great. I'm making Storm at Sea now with foundation piecing and it is going together like a dream. Thanks a lot. I'll try to tune in on the 4th. Anne

    This is wonderful. The pictures are exactly what I needed. I get so mixed up. I am a "show me" kind of person.
    Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!! :) :D

    I clicked on the icon, but nothing happened. Does this mean that it is closed now?

    Or, what did I do wrong.

    I received a notice saying the Wedding Ring class was coming up, and there was a repeat of the original. I clicked on it, found an icon that said Download, but nothing happened.

    There was a series of photos, which by the way were wonderful. Was that the download I was expecting? I thought it was going to be text, like the class on paper.

    I'm so new to all this, I just don't know what to expect. But everyone is so kind, I'm catching on.

    Thanks a bunch!

    Hi Paris,

    Click to download the pics and I highlighted all the dialogue and copied it into a word document. When I have time, I will insert the pics where they belong.

    My friend helped another friend clean out her mother's garage, found a 1930's wedding ring quilt, neatly folded, with what she thought was a mouse "stain" all the way through. She's not a quilter, and neither is her friend, so she sent it to me. I soaked it and changed the water for a week, then repaired it where necessary, quilted it for her and sent it back. She was delighted, even though she had meant it to be a gift for me. I took a picture of it, lettuce green squares even!

    Thanks again.

    Paris,

    You should post pictures... this from the lady that has lots of pics that are on her desktop computer at home. (she never uses it since she got the laptop...)
