visit *QuiltSmart* they have great patterns for double wedding rings,, along with many others that make it so easy! their fusible interfacings & great patterns/instruction books make many (complicated) quilt patterns easy even for beginners. I've used many of them over the years, 'double wedding ring, lonestar's, mariner's compass...there are many- easy, precise, makes it fun....as for the batiks...I would purchase 1/2 yd pieces & pre-wash them instead of using jelly rolls- it is easier to pre-wash larger pieces & there is always a risk of batiks bleeding when you least want it to.
