"Shine On" DWR

Finished! My Double Wedding Ring for the DWR Challenge:  Shine On 

I had lots of fun taking the traditional rings and throwing them off-center.  The flowers and stars that showed up were a nice surprise.......

Working with mostly solids isn't my usual M.O........though, I couldn't resist adding one great print!

I quilted this one by stitching in the ditch by machine.  Then I hand-quilted details with silk twist.  I love silk twist thread....it's like the silk version of perle cotton.

  

 "Shine On" gave me the chance to try a cross-shaped quilting stitch I haven't used before.  It gives a tufted effect in the gray/brown backgrounds.  

Leaving you with a couple last detail shots:
