Double Wedding Ring Quilt measures 85x87 and is in great condition. It feels heavy but it is a thin quilt. A couple of itty bitty light pen tip spots, very hard to see.
This is one of the most recognizable and beloved American quilt designs. It is characterized by interlocking circles made of small arcs of fabric, traditionally symbolizing love and marriage.
Key Characteristics:
-
Design: It features overlapping circles that create a "wedding ring" effect across the entire quilt top.
-
Piecing: Each ring is made of several small "melons" or arcs pieced together, often using a variety of scrap fabrics (as seen in your "scrappy" version).
-
Complexity: It is considered an advanced pattern due to the curved piecing required to join the arcs to the solid center and corner pieces.
Given your eye for traditional and complex patterns, this is a beautiful example of a "scrappy" vintage style, likely using a variety of cotton prints from different eras.
