Hand-piecing bliss

I'm in love with my blocks and the process of creating my blocks.  Six blocks done and I've started on the 7th.

Elm Street quilts Double Wedding Ring

The process of hand-piecing is just wonderful.  Every step is relaxing from marking the seam lines, to lining up the pieces to taking each stitch.

The inspiration for the block came from the fact that Tara Faughnan is coming to teach at my guild in June. I loved her double wedding ring class on Creativebug and am using her block pattern to create my templates.  (My blocks will be set differently than from the quilt from the class.)   The fabric is Sunprint 2018 from Alison Glass paired with a gray from Painter's Palette solids.

I am even in love with the back of the block!
