I don't understand what you mean by the front page. A thread only stays on the first few pages of QB if people leave a comment, this automatically moves it up. If no one comments, they either didn't see it or had no advice to give. If you look at the number of views, that will give you an idea of how many people saw it.
I haven't made a double wedding ring but the tutorial on QB looks interesting. I no longer work with templates for quilt patterns.
