dissapearing rings

well here it is my version of metro rings using the ccr ruler by sew kind of wonderful I  really did not plan this one I just used some fabric I had laying around to get the hang of this pattern and then ran out of fabric so this is what I came up with of course my husband doesn't understand the whole improvising and modern quilt movement
so without further ado



he says it looks like its not finished but I love it
got the binding on this also I finished it last year and he had to point out a couple seams didn't match he is so helpful
and my beautiful niece got married on Friday so happy for her


like a sweet Amish couple

this is just a peek until I get the binding on and wash all the marks out there are quite a few I need to use disappearing ink

I think it will be quite nice made and quilted by
me

lets see what else  oh I got the repairman here on Monday and yesterday was my first real workout on my stairs although I did miss that banding  lol not ! it was great !

not much else my niece is getting married on Friday evening outside hoping the weather holds out should be beautiful
