The first ring of the 3-ring DWR table runner is done. I just cannot believe how easy this is. It fits together perfectly. Now that I know just how easy these are to make, I have a LOT of plans for some other small DWR quilts.
I’m playing with the idea of finding the perfect fabrics for the pieced arcs to go with the Robyn Pandolph floral and making a bed-sized quilt using that. Thankfully, I have enough of the floral to do both the runner and a bed-sized quilt. The runner is, I think, destined to sit on the piano. I’m not sure but I’m thinking that because the hand dyes read as a solid, even though they are somewhat mottled, they’re a bit overpowering for the floral — yet I do like them with it. Seems to depend on the light when I look at the ring how I feel about it. When I do the larger quilt, I’ll look for something that truly does read mottled for the arcs.
It even presses like a dream. In this picture I’ve pressed the seam allowances towards the pieced arcs.

Cathi, I like the hand dyes with the floral in this picture. Like you said, it has a different look depending on the lighting….the more light the better it looks. Mottled fabrics so often read solid from a distance, maybe a small scale print would work when you do the larger project. Of course having the full circle done really helps too.Crispy

I always had trouble finding fabrics to work with the Robyn P. prints when I worked at the quilt shop. The prints are so soft and grayed that it is hard to find anything that doesn’t overpower them.I have your migraine today. Yesteday it was mild, today worse. It is raining here.

I like making the double wedding ring quilts too. Made a queen size one as a wedding gift for my daughter in law – she picked out the patter much to my dismay at the time, but then I had fun making it. Yours looks great!
