Description

Vintage "Double Wedding Ring" quilt With its ambitious quilting, very colorful and well-composed rings, and nicely scalloped border. Piece is all-cotton with a plain back, no padding, and a taped border.

Notes

This quilt is both an excellent example of its pattern and of the homage paid to 19th century quilters by the Renaissance Quilters of the Depression. The pattern is perhaps the most collected of all modern "traditional" designs.
