Quilt Top Double Wedding Ring Four Patch Center Cotton Fabric Feedsacks Scrappy

Description

Here is a vintage quilt top in the Double Wedding Ring pattern, #303 in the Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns by Barbara Brackman.  This pattern is categorized as a Non-Square Block.  It is so named by Ruby McKim.
Top is a combination of machine and hand piecing and measures approximately 78" x 90".  Fabrics are vintage cottons and feedsacks from the 1930s to 1940s era, it is very scrappy.
The center of each ring is pieced in a four patch similar to the improved nine patch pattern.  It lays fairly flat which is a bonus as a lot of wedding rings are not properly pieced.  The top would be more pleasing if the green and white checkerboard fabric along the top was removed.
There is some light soiling in various areas, but nothing that would require fabric replacement.
Item does not include any backing fabric, binding or batting for the top.
When working with vintage fabric, blocks, tops or quilts, prior quilting and piecing experience is helpful. Pieces were not rotary cut and cutting templates and patterns may not have been square. Pieced items may not be flat. Vintage items may have a musty or storage odor.
