Double Wedding Ring

Colorful vintage inspired Double Wedding Ring Quilt

This Double Wedding Ring Quilt has a retro look to it and it should. The handed sewn rings (the Amish call them “melons”) were purchased from a Pennsylvania antique store. The small pieces of fabric that make up the rings are from the 1940’s and 1950’s. Colors flow and blend beautifully. The melons were pieced with new fabric and the quilt was finished and bound by hand, again with new backing and batting. All quilting and finishing was done by hand. There were three extra melons – enough for the two pillow shams you see here (which the Amish never make!). Hand sewn, pieced and then hand quilted – we have a one of a kind Double Wedding Ring quilt.

Approximate quilt dimensions: 108″ X 88″ (quilt) and 29″ X 25″ (shams) – SOLD

Dramatic colors in a Winners Circle Amish quilt

Anyone who loves a traditional Double Wedding Ring pattern will love this pattern. The Winners Circle is an interesting variation on traditional conjoined ring quilt patterns. The maker is a pro at the difficult task of sewing together curved pieces of fabric. An interesting point about this quilt is that she didn’t create the curves from two sewn-together pieces. All curves are one piece of fabric. She hand quilted all edges and in the open space between the circles, she hand quilted a flower. (Item 1076)

Approximate dimensions: 100″ X 110″ – $1,250.00

A Double Wedding Ring quilt pattern in lively calico prints

We believe the Double Wedding Ring pattern is so popular because not only is it beautiful to look at, but it inspires thoughts of romance, marriage and family: of lives lived together. In this particular quilt, the artist chose to use a broad array of jewel tone fabrics. The maker hand quilted flowers in the centers of each ring. The linked ring pattern goes all the way to the edges of the quilt. All four sides of this quilt are scalloped and hand bound. A little tidbit for the quilters out there: this quilt was not paper pieced! – (Item 2059)

Approximate dimensions: 98″ X 110″ – $1,300.00
