A Magical Mystery Tour

Well, everything in the Double Wedding Ring box is now pressed and organized, but there were no instructions enclosed so I've spent some time looking at what is already together for assembly hints. Finally I looked online and found this great tutorial.

The end pieces on the ovals are slightly curved compared to the squares used in the tutorial so I've had to figure out how to deal with that, but, by and large, I think I've now got a technique that works.

As I mentioned, the fabrics look like they are from the 80s but there are also a few terrific vintage-y looking pieces like this gem scattered throughout. Not sure if it is or it isn't.

Some of the ovals have very dark fabric combinations so I've been digging through my scrap bin as I go and will incorporate a few lighter bits. It's slowing a slow process down a bit further but I think it will be worth it. I'll have to ensure that they are well incorporated when I lay the rings out with the two columns that are already sewn together so that things are well distributed....M
