What can I say? this is a bit wild.
When the NY Modern Quilt Guild put it out last summer that they were holding a show and tell of double wedding ring quilts, I was really excited to make a modern variation. The design evolved a couple of different times during the sewing, but here is the top. Ready to baste and quilt…racing to get it done by the December 1st deadline!
this photo shows the blocks laid out on my sewing room floor before I sewed them together, but I like the close-up of all the fabrics.
I started with fat eighth bundle of Notting Hill fabric by Joel Dewberry, only using the pink/orange and green/blue color ways. I also added lots of pieces from my stash, including solids to tone it down a bit.

I admit that I ma not confident of the success of this concept. Is it just too much? maybe. It reminds me of those colorblindness tests where you look at a bunch of colored dots and see if you can pick out the numbers hidden in the contrasting colored dots.
Must get to quilting it.
I will be back Friday with our Midnight at the Oasis QAL post, I am loving how my quilt is looking!

I think your Cleo and my Duke would be fast friends 🙂 He’s always by my side when I’m doing anything 🙂
Oh my goodness, you have an amazing quilt here! Trust in your color combos, and creativity. You have created a masterpiece- good for you for stretching yourself.
I think it is rather fab!
Your quilt is gorgeous!
It’s amazing! You are much more brave with colors than I! LOL
I love it! It’s brightened up my day
Fantastic.Love it!!
What can I say…..It’s a fantastic quilt with a modern twist!
Love it! I think you may have a winner there!
Love how it turned out!
Looks pretty amazing! It is pretty busy, but I think it works both as a concept (pattern-wise, I mean) and in the way it looks. When I stumbled across your posts about the Midnight at the Oasis quiltalong, I got looking into patterns by Jen Kingwell and found another one I really love, which I’ve already forgotten the name of… Gypsy something, which is also a pretty busy looking quilt, but it’s just amazing. Anyway, point being: nothing to worry about. Sometimes Too Much is exactly the right thing.
Wow….your quilt is fantastic. You did such a wonderful job. Hugs
Love this take on the classic!
Lollll
