    I haven't yet started my DWR but have been collecting 30s style fabrics for some time now as I want it to be similar to the one I had for many years. I'm sure I have way more than I will need, as I have a fairly large tupper full. Lol! The pieces I have vary in size from 3" squares to yardage.

    Wish you lived close - I have the Accuquilt Go dies and we could cut that puppy out in a short amount of time.

    A friend of mine and I did it - she is making a King size quilt for her daughter. She opted for the arcs to be solid, but I don't remember there being a dramatic amount of fabric because the pieces nest well. You just need to decide how many rings across and how many down and go from there.

    The quiltsmart fusible foundation is a great way to go! I love the precision you achieve and it goes much faster than dealing with template and lots of bias edges. I've used many of their foundations over the years. My favorite for wedding rings, lone Stars and game quilts.

    Eleanor burns has a video on her way too......also Ebony Love has a tute on YouTube, although she cuts the pieces with dies, her method of construction is informative...and does Phillips something ----- the company that offers squedge templates, also have a pattern...called rings or something similar. I still have not attempted dwr

    I loved doing my scrappy using my Accuquilt Go and the tute by Ebony Love. My first one was done with templates that I manually cut. The second one with the Accuquilt Go went together much easier and looked so much better. Good Luck in which ever way you decide to go. I think it was a fun quilt to make. Plan on making another one after the first of the year.

    I made a DWR QS quilt as a surprise wedding gift for my daughter 2 years ago. I used Cheryl Phillips 'Rings that Bind' pattern that includes the acrylic templates. It has different sizes, ideas, layouts. Great pattern!

    I made one earlier this year and I used the paper pieced method; arcs came out perfect.

    Eleanor Burns has a pattern for a Double Wedding Ring quilt and gives the yardage necessary. Hope this helps.
