Here are the last two quilts the woman in Washington state gave me. She told me all of them were family quilts, but I'm not too sure that a family member made them. They may have just had them in their possession. Even though double wedding ring quilts are common they are very sweet.
The first one with the bold solid blue.
The solid blue used for the binding too.
You may be able to see the quilting better in this photo.
Wedding ring quilt #2.
This one is very "standard" but so sweet!
The quilting is more traditional on this one.
And the binding is teeny tiny!
I opened the binding of the crazy quilt to take a peek- nothing in it. The binding was hand sewn
though. I thought that was interesting.
Here's my Instagram feed for this week.
I've been feeling a cold coming on but I've been keeping it at bay with vitamins C. It finally hit me with full force yesterday. I'll be laying low this weekend trying to get over this quickly.
Have a fantastic weekend!
I think they're both beautiful........love quilts from the 30's.........two treasures.

Makes me want to dig out my DWR UFO. Nahhh, probably not.
ReplyDeleteI love the pattern, just not the process. : )
Hope you conquer your cold--I've been trying to lay low for the same reason this past week.
I read once that Double Wedding Ring quilts are the most recognizeable pattern to non-quilters. I have made a few.
ReplyDeleteI love both quilts ! Lucky you :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll feel better soon !
Both quilts are beautiful! It's sort of sad that such a lovely and challenging pattern has become ''ho hum'' from its over-popularity. Wonderful gift from a stranger to you. Feel better!

They are so lovely. Thank you for sharing these treasures with us. I find the big X as a quilting design pretty interesting too. After sewing all those little snippets together to make the rings, you would think one would be caring enough to quilt elaborated designs in the negative spaces. Oh well. Maybe the person who quilted it isn't the person who sewed it. Too bad you know so little about these beauties. ;^)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad these quilts and the others are now rescued and in your procession. It's interesting about the x quilting in the one wedding ring.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful treasures, you are lucky.
