I received a pattern today for a double wedding ring bed runner from Keepsake Quilting. As I look at the instructions, it looks like it's basically strips that will be sewn together on these
foundation pieces. My question is why can I not sew the strips together and cut them with a circle stencil I have. I don't know the answer to this question. It would save a lot of work and confusion to do it this way. |
Do it in scraps and see what you think of the outcome:) Be sure to report back your findings:)

If it's a real DWR (and not a faux shortcut pattern), the pieces in the arcs are not straight strips. The sides are angled, which creates the curve.
You can't get the same effect cutting a curved piece from a strip set strata. eta: Is this it - a Judy Niemeyer pattern? http://www.keepsakequilting.com/productdetail/5586.htm Take a look at the foundation for the arcs - you'll see the shapes. Judy's patterns are very well know, well produced and gorgeous. You'll be surprised at how quickly it goes once you get going. |
Yes. That is the pattern.
