Have you ever wanted to make a Double Wedding Ring Quilt? Well here is your chance!!!
My friend Victoria, asked me to be part of this blog hop and I have also partnered with EZ Quilting for this challenge!!
First before we get into the challenge let me show you what I have done so far.
I decided to make a three ring quilt as a table runner. It is not joined together yet because I need to switch around 4 of the little squares so they alternate. But once I do that, I am home free.
As many of you know, I LOVE Kaffe Fassett fabrics so much, I had to use them for this little project.
I bet you want to hear the rules?
The NYC MOD quilters are excited to announce the Double Wedding Ring Quilt Challenge!
Don’t be afraid of the Double wedding Ring! This is a challenge to learn a new skill, try new techniques and let your creative exploration shine through on this traditional pattern!
This is a challenge FOR EVERYONE, All quilters… of any style from Anywhere! This is an international challenge.
Please note : in each category, a quilt must be made of three layers and bound. To get your creative juices flowing, The Quilt Alliance (one of our generous Sponsors) has put together a PINTEREST page with examples of Double Wedding Ring quilts included in their Quilt Index. Feel Free to pin Double Wedding Ring quilts.
