Oh my goodness, I am so excited! Yesterday while killing some time at Joann's, I ran across this pretty little book. I enjoy quilting. For awhile now, I have wanted to sew a quilt for my daughter's 'big girl bed' (she's not at that point yet, but will be soon!) I have thrown around a bunch of ideas, a wedding ring quilt being one of them. I really wanted it to be old fashioned looking, so I had always just planned on using 1930s or 1940s fabric on a modern pattern. Enter this book. How much better would it be to use the vintage material on a vintage pattern! I love pretty much every pattern in the book, but my oh my, that wedding ring is quilt calling my name. It looks pretty intense, but in small doses, I know I could get it done! I am giddy! (Lynsee has the quilting bug too! She's making a daisy chain quilt for her daughter!)
