Fun Quilting Day

Saturday I took a wonderful class in Double Wedding Ring. It is a quick and easy method compared to the traditional piecing method. This uses interfacing. You can either trace your the pattern onto fusible interfacing or use pre-printed interface from Quiltsmart. I almost completed one block in 5 hours. I can't really say it took that long. I already had some preliminary cutting work done. I also did some extra sewing toward some other blocks. The bottom line is that I am hooked and have added it to my list of quilts that I want to make. I have always, always, always wanted a double wedding ring quilt. My first husband bought me one for our king size bed. It was not a cheap quilt by any means. However, it was not long before some of the places began to pull apart. As soon as I get batteries in the camera, I will post a picture of the block. I took the class at The Cotton Patch.
