A modern twist on a traditional design

At least that is what I am hoping for. I did three wedding rings and have over lapped them, then I pressed the edges down. My goal is to cut out the backing and batting in the round shapes and then quilt and stitch. When I complete it, (probably tonight while Mr. Hunter plays hockey) I will take more pictures. This is for Mr. Hunter's mommy. We fly out to Vancouver this Friday so it has to be done! Here are my three rings so far:
Oh, look at that messy table. Its a wonder I have room to even work.






This is my backing fabric.

This will be for the middle of the rings.
I think it will be a pretty cool twist to a traditional pattern. Hopefully I do get it done tonight to show you how it turned out. After this, I have to come up with something for Mr Hunters sister and hubby. Not too sure what to do for them yet. I only have 3 days to figure it out. Eeek!


If you want to enter my give away, there is still time, I will choose the lucky winner when I get back from Vancouver. To enter, please go here.


Cheers,
Carolyn

  2. This is so pretty! I have a lot of the 30's prints you used at my house, too! 30's make such bright, happy projects. You'll be your MIL's favorite person.
