Halilujah! Halilujah! Halilujah!

Halilujah! Halilujah! Halilujah! It is finished! I sure have took my time on this Double Wedding Ring. First off, I couldn't figure how I was going to quilt it. Alma let that decision to me. I wanted to stitch in the ditch and embroider a design in the middle of the rings. I was so afraid to do it on my regular machine because I was afraid of getting wrinkles in the backing. I can't do stitch in the ditch on my quilt frame. I don't think I will ever do that cause it is hard to do it on a regular machine for me by moving the quilt much less moving the machine with the frame. I have never put binding on a Double Wedding Ring before, therefore I was concerned about that. I cut the binding on this 2 1/8" and sewed it on with 1/4" seam. Could have cut it 2 inches and sewn with a scant quarter inch but I chose the other cause I am not good and scant quarter inch seems, although my new machine has a foot that will allow me to do that. I was afraid to go smaller but that is what I will do next one if I ever do another. It took some long hours sewing the back of the binding by hand. It is a long way around this quilt. I like challenges. I still can't figure why these girls turn me loose on their quilts.
