I hand quilted this double size Double Wedding Ring for a customer (KD of Esperance,NY) with 450 yards of stitches. The owner wanted it heavily quilted so each square was outlined stitched, the arcs were stitched on both sides, the pieces inside the arcs were quilted, and the large blank area inside the arcs was quilted in interlocking rings. I used the top of a drinking glass as the pattern for the interlocking rings. The rest of the quilting was eye balled a quarter inch.
The top was what appeared to be 1930's and 1940's cotton fabric with muslin. The batting was some sort of poly mix and the backing was muslin to match the front. I did not bind the quilt.
Quilted Oct. 1995 - Jan. 1996 in Laurel, MT.
In my scrapbook, this is quilt #156.
