Quilty Finish #19: Single Wedding Ring Quilt

Single Wedding Ring Quilt #259

Size: 64" x 78"

Started 9/2/20 - Finished 12/3/20 

I am so happy to finally finish this Single Wedding Ring (or Crown of Thorns if you prefer) quilt for my friend, who recently got married.  I'm really happy with it.



I really love these floral fabrics which I've had in my stash for years, and 


have been hoarding because they are so pretty to look at.


 This is the third quilt I've made with these fabrics, and all have been gifted.  I've used up quite a bit of this floral stash, but I still have enough to make a quilt for myself.  Another project for 2021. 😃


The backing is a very pretty floral design, which is actually a sheet I bought last year and saved for just the right project.  I think it's perfect.



I quilted it with an E2E heart pantograph, which I thought was appropriate for a wedding ring quilt.  And, I used lightweight polyester batting.


Update 11/5/21:  Gifted to my friend and her husband.

    Pretty! I've never used a sheet as a quilt back before. Any advice on that front? Does a certain thread count work better than others? I'm all ears! : )

    The floral fabrics in the quilt top are delightful and are complemented by the backing. It's a beautiful gift. I'm sure your friend will treasure it.

    Such beautiful florals! No wonder you hung onto them for so long. But now they are three gorgeous quilts. She'll be so excited to get this latest version. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.

Tutorial: Fold and Turn Coasters

These fold-and-turn coasters are SO easy and fun to make!  I first saw this pattern in 2002 at a guild meeting, and the instructions were handwritten.  There were no pictures … only hand drawings.  Well, we’ve come a long way in 8 years! I made this set of 4 coasters to include with the potholders I made for Amy’s Potholder Pass #2 . These coasters were made with five 5-inch cotton squares and one 5-inch flannel square.  These can also be made in other sizes as long as the squares are equal in size.  Suggested square sizes range from 4-1/2” to 6” … your choice.  You may also use one 5-inch batting square, but I found batting was a tad too thick.  But, again, your choice. Instructions: (1) Y ou will choose three different fabrics.  Two fabrics will be used for the top of the coaster and one will be used for the bottom (backing).  I chose the light blue for the bottom: (2) Cut fabric to the desired square size.  I us...

Quilty Finish #13: Halloween No Point Stars Quilt

Halloween No Point Stars Quilt #253  Size: 50" x 56" Started 9/18/20 - Finished 10/15/20 I previously posted about my Halloween No Point Stars top, and I am happy to say that I finally finished the quilt ... just in time for Halloween! I used a polyester snow blanket remnant for the batting.  Yes, a snow blanket that is used for Christmas villages.  This was not originally intentional.  I didn't want to use Warm & Natural as I was not going to use this as a "blanket" but rather as a display/decoration.  I wanted a lightweight batting, so I looked through my bin of batting remnants and found what I thought was just right. As I was basting the quilt, I noticed some glitter - not much - just a tiny bit on the "batting".  It finally dawned on me why it felt a little different!  How did this snow blanket get mixed in with my regular batting remnants?  Anyway, I was already halfway done, so I decided to go with it. I didn't have any Halloween fabri...
