Makes Us SMILE!
When we found this charming quilt, we thought it was a unique variation on
the popular quilt design, "Double Wedding Ring."
Since then, though, we have seen one other example organized like this one,
with the interlocking rings in vertical rows:
"Double Wedding Chain"???
Even if not unique, the format is certainly rare, and very pleasing...
This quilt has such a happy abandon ~
it feels like the quilt maker was playing and having a ball!
The quilt maker hand appliqued the rings to the ground using a running stitch.
And the ground??
It is a cotton (commercial) machine-quilted mattress pad!
The wide yellow border is turned over to the back.
Excellent Condition.
