While I was working on it, I thought it wasn't turning out the way I'd hoped. Too literal or something - not "me." (Hey, does that mean I have that precious "aesthetic" the kids on Project Runway are always talking about?) But then I came into my sewing room to work on it and it was draped over my chair looking SO DANG CUTE. Maybe I'm just a heartbeat away from wearing a holiday sweater... and rocking it.
I want to keep this next one. This works on my table. It works with my Thanksgiving plans. I had Dixie Anderson do the quilting in the rings with her long arm machine, then I did all the quilting in the ditch myself (less money). So, another double wedding ring with 3 Sisters "Park Avenue" fabrics - this one is a square.
Besides making this one square instead of rectangle, I also switched the binding fabric for the trim fabric. I like this look better - the red stripe is one of the wovens from the Park Avenue line.
Again, the back is cool enough on it's own:
One last view...
Let's go see what everyone else was up to this week at Amy's blog. :)

I'm inspired by your post! I'm making a couple of runners for my daughter's wedding, and what could be better! These both are beautiful!
I have a Halloween vest you can borrow.:) Love both of these!

You in a holiday sweater- pahahahaha! That stitching is so gorgeous. Are you working on a little project for me?
I love them both. You are so inspiring.
I admire those who can accomplish the Wedding Ring designs. I am just way too intimidated. They turned out beautiful and the quilting is lovely.
no way!! they are so pretty.
Very pretty. Fall colors are gorgeous.
Please no holiday sweaters.
Oh those are both really gorgeous!!

Both quilts are beautiful, love that gorgeous quilting.
Both of them are awesome! (And refrain from the sweater... you may not walk into a room, see yourself in the mirror and think what you thought about the runner. lol)
They are seriously gorgeous! Well done.
Both wedding ring quilts are gorgeous and the quilting too. I have never tried out wedding ring, it's too complicated I think.
Great job! I recently did my own DWR quilt but it was a mini quilt with only one ring. Yours look great!
Fantastic finishes. Great fabrics and great pattern.
Absolutely beautiful! :o)
