Newest pillowcases for the camp-out

I use the pattern from http://www.allpeoplequilt.com, pdf

All done!

Update: after the wedding

Here is the king sized double wedding ring quilt all done!  Only 154 days to go until the wedding!  I'll start ironing the backing and get it ready to take to Sonja, long arm quilter in Fayetteville, AR.  http://sosews.com/home.html  I have tried to give her plenty of time, plus give me time to get the binding on.

126 3/4" x 115 1/4

Last row, 154 days til the wedding!

Finished up the last rows today!!  We took some close up shots, plus the last row being sewn together.

The last row is really sewing two groups together, six rows and four rows.

Pin, pin and pin; the more the merrier!

Tweezers from the my serger came in very handy!

Back to work

We had a party last weekend so I haven't done much with the quilt in a week, besides hiding it from John and Emlyn when they came.  Started sewing rows together, I'm not super happy with the way it is working out.  The four patch areas are poofing up, not laying flat so I guess I stretched something at some point. I have used spray starch and steam iron to make it flat and that does seems to help a little.  Plus I'm not happy because now I'm really seeing all the seams that don't meet perfectly.  Do you think I'll ever make anything without mistakes?!!  Well, it won't be this time either.  I just hope Sonja can deal with it when she quilts it, other wise this quilt will not get done.  So enough with the whining. Did go ahead and add the footballs on the right side.

156 days to go!

But not on the bottom; I think I'll tackle that after putting a few rows together, or maybe the whole thing.  I know it won't all be done today but maybe tomorrow, with any luck.

Second set of five rows

These were done on September 11, but the internet was out so its taken me awhile to get back to posting.

Five rows done

169 days to go!!
