When I saw the block design for this Old-fashioned wedding ring pattern in a picture of an old quilt, I just knew I had to make one. The traditional block lent itself nicely to a two color quilt. I really liked the softness of the muslin and the light blue print fabrics. The saw-tooth inner border is also very traditional. The machine quilting is done with a white-to-frosty blue variegated thread in the muslin squares and white in the pieced squares. It is quilted with white on the muslin backing. The solid blue binding frames the quilt nicely and was hand finished. It is an extra long double bed sized quilt. This quilt won a honorable mention in the Pensacola Quilters Guild Show 2006 in the two-color quilt category.

This double-sized quilt will fit a twin or double bed. It is made of 5 ½ inch blocks of bright pastel fabrics featuring frogs, butterflies, flowers and a few plaids. The 1 ½ inch inner border is a turquoise fabric surrounded by a 9-inch border of pastel flowers with smiling faces. The backing fabric is the same as the front 9 inch border fabric. The machine quilting was done with a soft yellow thread with an all-over looped pattern. The binding was hand finished.

This quilt features scrap butterflies machine appliqued in a 6" square. The sashing is made up of scrap 2" blocks. The flower border is machine appliqued. This quilt has heavy machine quilting throughout and the binding is hand finished. This quilt won a second place in the Pensacola Quilters Guild Show in March 2006. It also won a Judge's Recognition award for color placement and design.
