Featured Double wedding ring quilt parital piece, extra special construction

This was a $5 purchase at an estate sale. I'm not really into quilt type things, but this seemed so special. I realize it is either for a table runner etc., or possibly was unfinished. Outer edges are unfinished.

First thought was that I was going to turn around and sell on Ebay, but brought it to another neighbor who has and entire room dedicated for sewing with a specialty being quilts, and she went crazy for this. I guess normal wedding ring style has sort of a square pieces of fabric to make the rings, but here there are over 100 triangular pieces, all different fabric which looks to be 30s or 40s.

Now my neighbor wants to buy it. She is a pretty good friend, so was thinking of even just gifting to her (not sure Ebay would be more than around $30 for a partial piece) but thought I'd post here too just for general thought or in case you'd like to see it.

 

Adorable! Guess if it was me, I'd probably 'gift' it to a good friend. . .it will get a great new home.

 

Pretty - I learned that pattern as 'Indian Wedding Ring', and have seen it as 'Pickle Dish Wedding Ring', but this site also calls it 'Pine Burr', and 'Pickle Dish', though I associate 'Pickle Dish' with wider bands: http://quilthistorytidbits--oldnewlydiscovered.yolasite.com/wedding-ring-designs.php

Very nice.

 

They look like feedsack pieces! I have a 9-patch quilt made mostly of feedsack and there's quite a variety! People really like them. I've had a few over the years and most of them bring pretty good money.

Very pretty, Lucille, thank you for showing us.

 

Somehow missed this one earlier... What did you decide to do with it, @Lucille.b ? Sounds like your friend would love it!

 

I did give it to her. I'm not sure what she did with it in the end but I know she showed it to her "quilt club" and she really enjoyed it.

 

How thoughtful you are. That would make a lovely gift to a good friend.
