I had never made a Pickle Dish nor a Double Wedding Ring quilt years ago when I was prolific.
The last few years, quilting again, I thought my quilting life was better focused on simple quilts.
I volunteered to help with a paper pieced Pickle Dish Raffle Quilt this past fall. We started sewing in December.
I felt intimidated. I had not paper pieced in nearly 20 years. My hands are not what they were.
The other ladies working on the quilt were also a little scared. That helped a lot. I was not the weakest link.
My share was 32 pickle wedges. I paced myself at two a day. It was extremely slow going at first. I watched a couple videos and perfected my technique. I absolutely got better and faster. I got in a groove.
When I finished my assigned wedges, I moved on to making a pickle dish of my own.
These are my fabric/colors -
Here (below) is an example of the assembled blocks on a Pickle Dish Quilt. Note, my darks and lights are reversed from the illustrations below. I am not yet sure of my corner stone/square fabric.
