There is something so special about a quilt that has waited decades to be finished, and this is exactly that kind of story. In this video Susan from Sunrise Quilt Studio shares a vintage Double Wedding Ring top she found unfinished and quilted herself on her longarm, walking the camera over the piecing and the finished quilting in lovely close detail.
Here is why this one is worth watching:
- A classic pattern in its most romantic form. The interlocking rings of soft prints and pastels are everything you hope a vintage Double Wedding Ring will be, and Susan's close-ups let you see the colour mixing and the gentle hand of the original maker.
- A peek at thoughtful longarm quilting. The quilting designs Susan chose really make the rings glow, and you get a clear look at how the motifs work with the curves of the pattern.
- A gentle reminder to finish your old tops. So many of us have an unfinished project tucked away somewhere, and watching this one come fully to life is a lovely nudge to give yours a second chance too.
Do you have a Double Wedding Ring on your wish list, or perhaps an unfinished vintage top waiting in a drawer? We would love to hear in the comments about the old quilts you treasure most.
