Double Wedding Ring Quilts: A double wedding ring design features small arcs of fabric pieced together to form a circle. Traditionally, these quilts are given to commemorate a marriage. This design is also very popular with parents. For a more traditional look, choose tulips. This classic style is also a great choice for a hockey quilt. Its classic design is perfect for a family reunion. In addition to the traditional hockey motif, this quilt design is also appropriate for a baby shower or a special birthday.
The quilt’s elongated blocks are made from a variety of fabrics. Most are made of acid-free fabric. Because these blocks are large, the stitching is easy to do, even by the youngest member of the family. The quilt is sure to impress! But what makes it extra special is the fact that the whole piece is still in progress! The final product will have a unique look and will remind many of its recipient’s family and friends.
Choosing the right color for your hockey quilt is important, because the fabric must be long-lasting and durable. If you choose a solid color, you should choose a dark-colored fabric. Similarly, a ralli quilt is an option for someone who likes bright colors. However, this type of hockey quilt requires extensive hand stitching. The colors are the key to its appeal! In addition, many people prefer rallis quilts because of their colorful designs and intricate hand stitching.
