I purchased this book with the template included years ago when Cheryl was on Alex Anderson's show- does that date it or not at least 10 years ago now lol. My daughter had been asking me to make her a DWR for several years and when I saw Cheryl's method I had to go for it. I made a queen size for my daughter and it turned out great. This is really an easy pattern.
However at the time I made her quilt, I had not discovered Retayne to use when I prewashed the fabrics I used for the quilt. I always pre wash my fabrics and thought all was well not so. I used a cream colored fabric with specks of green in it for the backing and the center of the blocks and various greens and a mauve for the rings. The quilt turned out beautiful but sadly when the quilt was washed one or two of the greens bled onto the cream fabric and I have never been able to get the green stain out. I have tried everything. Please be sure to use Retayne or something to set the colors of the fabric you use before making yours, so you won't end up like I did. I really think you will enjoy making a DWR using this pattern
