I've finished the top of the Double Wedding Ring quilt! I'm making a king size bed runner out of it, to put at the end of the bed. that's why it's so long and narrow. This was certainly a learning experience, I haven't done much with curved seams before.
Then, I figured a trick to ease those curved seams. I don't use a lot of pins, so this was a big help.When sewing the curved seams, I put the "larger" colored piece on the bottom, and the "smaller" white piece on the top. Then, I gathered the outside edge of the bottom colored piece (edge away from the needle) with my fingers, and the curves fit together much easier, with fewer problems!
The quilt used up a lot of scraps, which is always good, and I really like the bright pastels. My quilting machine is at the shop, hopefully it'll be back this week, and I can start quilting.

Beautiful! I've always admired the double wedding ring pattern, but haven't been brave enough to attempt it yet. (I'm a quilting newbie.)
