    I want to make one of these also. Looks easier than the regular ones. Need to keep this link so when I am ready I will be able to find it again. LOL

    Have you ever done paper piecing?
    Here is a link to a free pattern and paper pieced templates. I hyave just started this because I didn't want all the headache of getting each piece exactly perfect or the added expense of another tool. Good luck.

    There is also a dwr pattern which uses nine patches laid out in rings with triangles inbetween them. The pattern is called Jack's Chain. I am in the process of making nine patches for one. The construction is all done without sewing into the seam allowances, though. I tried doing the nine patches that way on the sewing machine, and had a hard time getting my points lined up exactly, so I gave that up and am now handpiecing for the first time. I had long admired this pattern, and am putting my small scraps to good use by cutting them into 2 inch squares.

    I am working on one right now and in my process of searching for ways I found several as I'm sure you know. And I am going to finish one in all the techniques just to say I did. The one I chose for my daughter was this one...

    http://www.winnowing.com/circle.html

    It went together very fast and I can link as many together for the traditional look or piece them in arches for the more scrappy look..I did end up using the arches and corner squares..I basically combined the above pattern with the technique of this one..

    http://doubleweddingringquilts.com/d...-quilts-e-book

    although I am using a whole cloth and applique method..the trick is to keep everything straight. I am loving how its turning out. =) Good luck on whatever you choose. I have learned alot about the Wedding Ring Quilts in my research.

    duckydo, you are welcome! It was the very last pattern in a book I have. I am not home now to check, but the book may be 101 Nine Patch Quilts (?). Not certain of the name...

    After a year and a half I finished my Lone Star quilt smart that I took a class on. I didn't like the method at all, but again all of our brains are wired differently!

    I am currently doing Pickle Dish a variation of the Double Wedding Ring using Marti Michell templates-they are very accurate and it is going quicker than I thought it would. I would reccomend any of Marti Michell templates-I have also used her Feather Star templates and was pleased with the results.

    I agree, her's is the easiest...she has one in her "Egg Money Quilt Book" that is really easy to follow...
