not exactly amish but simplistic anyway. i didn't want to make a "normal" double wedding ring with tons of pieces; i did that after i made this one. i love the forest green/wine combo for christmas instead of the kelly green and red. this quilt was entirely hand pieced and hand quilted. i started it on a whim and didn't buy enough green, so there is a slight color variation, normal for antique quilts of course. it has a nice cotton batt and a decidedly antique feel and drape....i'm totally happy with it. **** for all you boomers out there who remember the patty duke show and her award-winning film, the miracle worker, made at a tender age. today she turns 65 and if you go to www.ssa.gov, you will see her tell how she applied for social security and medicare online....yep, she is the poster gal for social security, her and chubby checker too.....what a hoot!
Beautiful quilt, Grace. I have thought about using my wedding ring templates to make a quilt like this. Maybe I would finish it, unlike the one with all of the tiny pieces that is still in its box.
ReplyDeleteLoved the Patty Duke show!
