Wedding Ringz
We made two quilts using Black & Whitez. One we kept ‘nude’,
the other we coloured with fabric paints. Their fabric requirements
differ slightly.
Fabric paints, dyes, crayons or pencils can be used to colour these
fabrics.
We used Pebeo Setacolor Transparent fabric paints #22, 49, 24, 18,
26, & 29. They were painted on after the wedges were pieced. The
wedges were then trimmed to eradicate the white edges before piecing
in the blocks. QUILT SIZE: 56” x 72” (142cm
x 183cm)
BLOCK SIZE: 8”, 48 needed
THE BLOCKS
Make forty-eight blocks using the instructions on p83 of Cut
Loose Quilts by Jan Mullen.
STITCHING THE BLOCKS
Arrange the blocks in a pleasing six by eight set. Stitch together.
INNER BORDER
Cut and join fabric to make;
Two sides, 1 1/2” x 64 1/2”. Stitch on.
A top and bottom 1 1/2” x 50 1/2”. Stitch on.
OUTER BORDER
Cut and join fabric to make;
Two sides, 3 1/2” x 66 1/2”. Stitch on.
A top and bottom 3 1/2” x 56 1/2”. Stitch on.
TO FINISH
The borders and ringz were ditch stitched. The inside of the
ringz were filled with radiating patterns. The outside of the ringz
were framed with ‘petals’ and the backgrounds were filled
with curls. All were quilted freehand.
