Day 170: Seriously, I did not intend to part with this Double Wedding Ring quilt, but when a friend in Alaska asked me if I had a quilt she could purchase, I told myself, "Well, you can always make another one." Y'see, I have a Double Wedding Ring my great-grandmother made. That's one. I have a rather plain Eight-Pointed Star, hand-quilted, which my Cockatoo Cocoa helped me make (he thought it was a bird trampoline), and I have my Cathedral Window kitty quilt (also hand-quilted). I also have a hexagon kitty quilt still in the process of being quilted (it went on hold when Merry decided he liked to eat polyester fiberfill), so that brings the total of quilts in my personal possession to four, and really, how many quilts does one person need? I'm working on another one even now. I decided I could back, batt and bind the Double Wedding Ring for my Alaskan friend on a timely basis, tying it rather than quilting it by hand (an option I had considered anyway). She was thrilled with the prospect! I completed it on Sunday, and will ship it off today. I love seeing my handwork go to people who appreciate it for what it is.
