Not much of a choice!!

I have 2 wedding rings together..........now for the center. I have to use fabric from my closet - there is too much in there!!!
The top one shows off the wedges more, but it's DEAD!!!

But the bottom one POPS them!!!
Of course, that's just my opinion!!! Close up of option #1


Close up of option #2



The hard part will be making a template - and keeping the wedges flat.............the pattern said to applique them on a square , then trim. I really think I'd like to piece the center.......

I have my work cut out for me. I don't know how many of these I will do - have almost 4 completed - and they are 24 inches across - so it would make a wall hanging at this point.


Time will tell..........and maybe I'm getting tired of these and want to move on to another hand piecing project.............

I definitely agree that the first choice is better. Have you tried a dark fabric? --- it would probably pop the lighter and brighter. That will be an interesting process to piece in the center --- good luck!

Yikes! All of those wedges!!! And then such a strange shape to fit into the center - what fun for a self-challenging quilter - that would be YOU! Good Luck! Have fun! Four may be p-l-e-n-t-y!
