Well, I came to the realization that I needed to create a wedding quilt for a young couple. This couple (that will remain nameless until the get the said quilt) have been renovating an older house. I knew I wanted to make a Wedding Ring Quilt, but I knew I did not want to make it using "traditional" fabrics.
I have been collecting Shot Cottons for quite a while (I used 47 fat quarters for the quilt), and I knew I wanted to use those fabrics for the "rings". My challenge was, what to choose for the background fabric. Not wanting to use a solid, I went with a "dot" from the Reunion line by Moda.
I wanted a "scrappy" look, so I threw all the pieces in a bag. It didn't matter what color I pulled, I just did not want the same fabric in the arc.

Making the melon
Next was assembling the "melon" pieces. Again, I did not care what colors were in each, I just did not want the same fabrics in each melon unit.
I am still constructing these units (don't know if I will ever make one of these again). Check back next week to see an update on my progress.
