I haven't been posting a lot lately because I've been SEWING!!!! Sewing, sewing, sewing! I had a goal to make this king size double wedding ring quilt in 4 weeks. I'm on week number 5 and it's looking like it will take me about 6 weeks. I'm doing 9 rings across and 9 rings down (that sounds less scary than 81 rings). Each ring is 11 inches across. I measure from any spot to the same spot on the next ring. I can't bring myself to call these things "blocks". I have all of my rings done and now I'm putting them together. In a "normal" quilt--- putting them together is usually the easy part. Not so with this thing! What I wouldn't give for a straight line right now.
I've taken some pictures of the process and I promise to do a very detailed tutorial complete with tips and pitfalls.... but that takes time and I'm going to do it after I get my top done. I'm on a deadline and... well.... you know how it goes.
Back to the sewing machine with me......

amazing work and progress!
Looks wonderful! Can't wait to see the tutorial- took me 3 sewing sessions (fri/sat/sun) of sewing, ripping out, resewing, blah blah blah, finally wrote on the Accuquilt website, and one of the bloggers is doing a video in Dec- I do hope to see yours sooner, but am grateful for your sharing-so the wait will be worth it!

PS Neat color choices!!
it is looking great. I don't know if I've ever seen it done with the illusion of rings over rings in 2 sets of fabrics. Maybe I haven't been paying attention when I looked at others.
This is so stunning. I love the colors, and obviously your excellent piecing skills!!I really must make one of these.
That is a lot of work to put a time limit on, but it is coming along beautifully. Love the fabrics you are using, it is going to be gorgeous.
