Wedding Ring Quilt

[Amyjk]

I just finished this last night. It is for my MIL for christmas. It's more pink then I prefer, but she likes rose colored things.....lol And oh my gosh was it ALOT of work! I am soooo glad it is finished. I was starting to really dislike making it actually, which kind of made me sad. Anyways, though the pattern was very easy to follow (coats and clark) if anyone is interested in making this, I would strongly encourage making several of each pieces, and seeing how they fit before you make them all.....which coincidentally is what I did, and they did not fit like I had hoped. The 'eye' piece is too large and it really puffs out. But, we live and we learn. Though I don't think I will be making a motif afghan again anytime soon! LOL

Wow! what a lot of hard work! I'm sure your MIL will cherish it.

Wow..that does look like a ton of hard work. Amazing!

[CraftyZone]

That sure is a lot of work but, you made it through it. Sometimes afghans when it takes forever to get done you can start to hate doing it but, good for you work through and got a beautiful afghan out of it. Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful!

Wow! I think that it's beautiful. Maybe the center will settle down after a washing. I still think that it's gorgeous, though. It looks like a lot of hard work.

Thank you everyone! You are all too kind!

It's awesome, and in the picture theirs is puffed a bit too-more dimensional that way

and thanks for the advice about the motifs, because I usually do all of one piece then put them together. My DD loves this pattern, so i quess I'll be adding it to my list...Pat

Looks like you did a good job. i have noticed sometimes a wash makes the afghan lay better...

You did a great job. Afghans have always been a problem with me. Anything that takes "forever" to make I get really bored with. It's great that you made it through it.
