It's flat!

My greatest concern with this Double Wedding Ring project is that after all the tracing, cutting, pinning, and sewing this thing will lie flat.....


It is!  Phew!

I was asked about the fact that I hadn't ironed anything yet.  Before taking the photograph I gave this piece a light pressing, to see if it really was flat and although the jury isn't out yet, for now, I've decided to let the pieces fall where they may.  
When stitching the melons to the large background sections, I've found it easier that they are not pressed because I can easily manipulate all those seams in one direction or another depending on how the melon lays.  

Six interlocking rings are complete, and many more to go.
Just musing how I'm going to continue - work in lengths, row by row?  work in chunks?
Something to think about while at the gym....

It's beautiful, Heidi! I love all the colors in the rings. I've never seen one with such narrow slices - this must be a lot harder. It does look like it's going to lie flat after it's pressed well. You've done a wonderful job on this!!!
