Double wedding ring quilt (DWR)

... and so it begins.

I have drooled over this pattern for so long. Recently the local craft store had a sale on quilting fabrics, so I thought I would see if I could pull together the fabrics required for a DWR. Having been inspired by reproduction fabric versions, I went for a similar theme.

There is something special to me about this quilt. It evokes very fond memories of my grandmother, and spending time with her. It's like a kiss from the 50's (not that I was around then). Accessories in my bedroom are similar to the purple color at the arc intersection points. So that whole thing co-ordinates nicely.

In the meantime, here's a sneak preview. The finished version will be 7 circles across and down.
