I want to start work on a wedding ring quilt for my friend. I plan on giving it to her on her and her dh's first wedding anniversary (August 13). I would have made it for their wedding, but they informed me about a month and a half prior to the date. They planned it that way... it was just one of those, hey, lets get married.

My friend has been begging me to make her a quilt and I figured I could one of these, if there is a simple enough pattern out there. I would be doing the fabric in the colors of the wedding, black, red and white. I also hope to find damascus print fabric.

Please help me find a pattern! And offer some guidance!!!
Try the Rings That Bind by Cheryl Phillips of Phillips Arts she is in Colo. I used her book and the templates that come with the book and made one for my daughter several years ago. You make strips and sew them together then cut them out using the template with the book. A lot easier than cutting all of the small pieces. I most likely won't make another one, as that isn't my favorite pattern. The quilt turned out fine, but was time consuming, especially since I was working full time and trying to make the quilt for a Christmas gift as well.
