Anna and Matt's wedding quilt: First quarter pieced

Here's the first quarter of Anna and Matt's wedding quilt pieced. As I posted originally, this is a pattern by Denyse Schmidt called "Single Girl." Other posts can be found here,here, here, and here. I love the visual rhythm created by the scale of the Japanese and Japanese-inspired fabric designs.

First Quarter of a Ring

No time for a real post, but here's the first quarter of a ring sewn together. It makes me wish I had more large scale prints. I really like the way the large print kimono fabric makes a strong visual statement.

When I saw a picture of Denyse Schmidt's pattern called Single Girl, I knew Anna would like it. Based on the traditional double wedding ring pattern, it has a distinctly modern look when reduced to a single ring. Anna chose wonderful Japanese and Japanese inspired fabrics.



Here are the fabric choices for the the first quarter of the rings.



The second quarter...



The third quarter...



...and the fourth.



Betty Wang designed the background fabric for South Sea Imports. It's from her design series called "Memories of Osaka" and is a tone on tone bamboo image.



The pattern calls for tracing the pieces and making templates--quiltmaking in the old school tradition.
