Double wedding ring quilt

Before I moved to London, my mom asked me to make a quilt for her bed. We knew I would have to make it here in England since time was running out. 

This was the first project I worked on once we settled in. My mom picked out the fabric and I brought all the supplies with me. 

And after many many hours of tedious work, a quilt was born. 

First there was cutring the melons. Then piecing the melons. Then eventually tearing the paper out of the melons. I cannot believe how many hours I spent on this. If this queen sized quilt wasn't for my mother, I would have given up a long time ago. 

Sooo many paper pieces. 

I did an all over free motion quilting to make it easier for me and I had to go to a friend'a house to baste it. It's very hard to find that much floor space in the homes here in London. 

It was my first time with scalloped edges, and actually they weren't that hard! If you're on the fence, go for it!

Here it is on her bed back in Florida. She's very happy. And so am I!
