DITTO what tatavw01 said.
I've made a few of them using this method,
http://www.quiltsmart.com/Pages/mo_double_wedding_ring.htm it's the best way I think, they come out beautiful. I would do black with yellow and gray rings and soft yellow corner triangles hope this helps. You don't have to make a pieced ring, I make solid ring with colorful fabric looks great..

I know that it is not a DWR, but you can see the fabrics and how that color combination works. HTH

I can visualize a really pretty one using the very pale yellow for the background and a brighter yellow and a medium gray for the four patches at the intersections and then a random variety of yellow and black/black and yellow prints for the slices of the rings.
I think you and she both would be very happy with one done this way. Kind of a cross between traditional and modern.

I think the shades you use should represent your daughter and future son in laws style and personalities. Is she the type that goes for light, pale type colors ( go with the pale greys and yellows ) or does she prefer bright, vibrant with high contrast ( go with the vibrant high contrast ones ) ? You want them to use this quilt in their home , so take them and their styles and tastes into consideration as well.

I made a friends daughter a wedding ring quilt in black, turquoise, white. Turned out really pretty. And ONE red piece in memory of her sister. This red piece was a surprise to her.
