Vintage 1930s Double Wedding Ring Quilt – Hand Pieced & Hand Quilted – Scalloped Edge – 68” x 88”

This exquisite vintage Double Wedding Ring quilt dates to the 1930s-1940 and - as with the finest handmade wedding ring quilts - the rings are made of dozens of tiny fabric segments. This one uses Depression-era cottons in shades of pink, blue, red, yellow, green, and lavender, with floral prints, polka dots, checks, and novelty fabrics all set against a soft white cotton background.

The intersections of the rings are bright pink and deep blue four-patch squares. The workmanship throughout is exceptional, with meticulous hand piecing and extensive, closely worked hand quilting. The quilting follows the curves of the wedding rings, with dense crosshatch and diagonal grids in the open white areas.

The back is white cotton that has been turned to the front and handstitched to form a very narrow binding that follows the contours of the outer wedding rings. The cotton batting is very lightweight.
