Zoë’s Double Wedding Ring is a 2-color, 2-fabric quilt set on point. It measures approximately 70 x 70 inches. I used an on-point setting for this quilt so I could finish it off with straight edges to make binding the quilt easier. This quilt is similar to Xandra’s Pickle Dish but the construction of the arcs is a little more complex because the arc corners are two different colors.
This design uses the Inklingo Double Wedding Ring Collection. I colored the blocks in EQ7 with fabrics from Toscana by Northcott. There is information on Linda’s blog about fussy cutting Double Wedding Ring shapes!
I do have a cousin named Zoë somewhere in my mother’s family; but since she is a living person, I won’t share anything about her here. I’m just glad to have a female whose name begins with the letter Z!
(A special Happy Birthday to my mom and oldest son today!!)

50+ Double Wedding Ring Quilt Designs in EQ
How to Rotary Cut Curves

Yvonne’s Christmas Star is a 2-color, multi-fabric quilt in a horizontal setting. It measures 75 x 75 inches. Log Cabin blocks can be laid out in many different settings. This star setting seemed just right for a Christmas quilt. If you are quirky like me, you cut out all your Inklingo shapes with scissors and enjoy the long, slow process. If you like to be efficient and use your rotary cutter, you can layer-to-cut your printed pieces of fabric and be done in no time. Linda explains layering to cut on the Inklingo blog and more about it in her article on the Quilting Hub.
This design uses the Inklingo .75″ Log Cabin Collection. I colored the blocks in EQ7 very simply with color swatches available in the program. You could use Christmas fabrics or do a scrappy version as well.
Yvonne Colepaugh is my 1st cousin 2x times removed. She and my grandmother, Helen are first cousins. Yvonne’s mother died during childbirth and the five children were taken in by relatives. My great-grandmother, Catherine (Colepaugh) McEvoy took in Yvonne and her brother, Maurice and raised them as her own. (What’s two more when you already have a dozen of your own?)

In October and November managed to get 5 long-standing projects to the finished top stage. Some quilters call them “flimsies” but I don’t like using that word to describe something as wonderful as a finished quilt top. (Just my opinion.) I had set a goal to finish 5 projects before year end, but I should be able to finish up 3 more before the end of the next week — potentially 8 finishes. Granted they are machine pieced and were in various stages of being completed, but I am feeling quite proud of my accomplishment especially since I hadn’t done much quilting in the 12 proceeding months.
-
- Finish 1 – Plaid Streak
-
- Finish 2 – Floral Streak
-
- Finsih 3 – Can’t remember pattern name–I call it the ugly Christmas quilt
-
- Finish 4 & 5 – Leftovers Again and Leftovers Again & Again
Perhaps I am a bit overconfident — inspired by my recent finishes — but I’m setting a goal to finish 15 projects in 2015. Here’s the list in no particular order:
- Priscilla’s Beauty – hand pieced blocks with applique
- Case of the Secret Garden – hand pieced blocks
- Crazy Quilt block – Alaskan cruise class project
- Transfer Artist Paper (TAP) – old class sample
- Patchwork of the Crosses (POTC) – hand pieced
- Hexiflowers – hand pieced
- Rachelle – hand pieced blocks
- Colonial Garden
- Patriots in Petticoats – machine pieced
- Sun, Moon & Stars – appliqued blocks machine pieced
- 9 Patch Leader/Ender with Heart – machine pieced with applique
- Thea’s Baby Quilt – machine pieced
- Ethan’s New Quilt – machine pieced [same as Thea’s with different backing and binding]
- Scrappy Log Cabin – machine pieced
- Scrap Baskets – machine pieced / appliqued handles & hearts
While I was working on this post, Linda posted a photo to the Inklingo Facebook page. Yes! That’s the look I want to see 15 times this year. (hahaha)
- 1 Year of Stitches embroidery project
- Hexiflowers (aka Grace's Garden)
- Death Star pillow
- Tonopah Nevada topographical map
- 1855 Wales Center map
- Winnie the Pooh map

- Thea's Quilt
