Buck and Jen were home this weekend so Buck could attend his five year class reunion. Â As we were sitting at the table at 3pm on Saturday, Jen said, “Do you know what we’ll be doing two weeks from today?” Â That’s when it hit me…the wedding is only TWO WEEKS away. Â For some reason, I was thinking three. Â That put me into a little panic so as soon as they left on Sunday, I started ironing their double wedding ring quilt top. Â TWO WEEKS….oh no. Â I probably shouldn’t have stopped and finished my Perkiomen Daydreams quilt.
Then while I had the iron out, I ironed this cute little stack of fat eighths. Â This is from a new Moda fabric line coming out called Scrumptious. Â Oh I love it and can’t wait to work with it….but that wedding quilt is coming first. Â Oh…but isn’t this pretty fabric??
Oh I get side tracked easily. Â Back to the double wedding ring…today. Â Today the double wedding ring is absolutely going on the quilting machine. Â I’ve decided on tan thread for the top and navy for the back. Â Just to keep myself honest, stop back on Tuesday afternoon and I’ll give you a sneak peak of how I’m quilting it.
As I work here at this house, I keep thinking what will it be like at the new house. Â One thing I know, the sewing room will be big enough so I can keep my full sized ironing board out all the time. Â That sure will be nice…now, I have to set the ironing board up in the kitchen and iron there.

The wedding quilt is looking really nice, love the colours.
How do you top Perkiomen Daydreams? With a striking version of DWR! Great work. That new floral line will become something equally interesting….
I think I am going to do a DWR table runner (need a small project for this) so I will be paying attention to how you quilt it. It really is beautiful!
Love the colors in your DWQ Jo! Really brings a different look to that classic quilt design. I absolutely adore blue and yellow together, and navy/cheddar is a range that I think I need to explore more. You’ll have it quilted and finished in no time! Then, you can play in those scrumptious fat eighths :*)
I love the navy background on this quilt! I’ve never made a double wedding ring quilt, but I’m seriously considering giving it a try. If I do, I definitely want a dark background. Thanks for the inspiration! Looking forward to seeing how you quilt it!
