Progress

I have been sewing away at my double wedding ring quilt and have got 9 rings all sewn together - I love the scrappiness of it all.  I think though, that 9 rings is going to make it a fairly small quilt, so I have decided to make another 6 and do it 4x4

I have received some fabulous scraps from the scrappy swap recently and also Emily sent me some with my secret santa basket, so it will be great to incorporate those. And I have two weeks off over Christmas, so why not!

 When I was taking the above photo I realised that I never did show the 'after' of the £15 car boot rocking chair.  It is easily the most used bit of furniture in the house


Before

After - it is sitting in a rather random place at the moment as it has been misplaced due to the Christmas tree
 We repainted it and those blue bits are the new foam pieces - which rather disheartingly cost more that the rocking chair!!!  The blue foam will be covered properly at some point but as there is always a quilt thrown over it, I have never got to doing that yet!  Probably another Christmas job

    Your double wedding rings is going to be so beautiful when done. And the chair looks much better white. Great place to hand sew.

    The double wedding rings are growing steadily. You are 'growing' a gorgeous quilt. The chair is far nicer white and when covered will be great. Isn't it funny that mundane foam costs more than the chair. Crazy! Di x

    Great revamp of the chair, C. I love love love those wedding rings. It'll be worth the effort for a few more to have an even bigger stunning quilt to show off.

    I am loving your quilt, I am glad you are going to make it bigger. The chair looks very comfortable, it could be covered with some patchwork but the quilt looks very good too.
