Hi Rosie, very pleased to meet you. Re your query, I think it might be quite difficult to complete a double wedding ring using the quilt as you go method. But I never say somethings impossable cause some one always ends up proving one wrong :-) Glad you joined, jump right in, comment on a thread or check out the pic section. If you've got some pics of your own to post, I know we'd all love to see them :D

I saw a demonstration on one of the quilt shows, but don't remember which one, that was done like a peek-a-boo quilt. You make circles, with the outer border pieced on the back side. They will have to be sewn together and turned so you have no raw edges. When you sew the circles together, in a square, your curved edges should be on top of the quilt. Fold them out flat and the pieced arcs will show on top. Then just tack them down. I haven't tried it myself, as I'm a little frightened of curves. But they made it look really easy on TV (of course).

Hi Rosie,
I know this is late but I just happened to catch this thread. go to HGTV.com and put Simply Quilts in the search space and find Episode QLT1033.
There are instructions for a quilt as you go double wedding ring. The guest is Cheryl Phillips and she wrote a book called Rings That Bind and you may be able to purchase it on Amazon or e-bay etc. Her website is www.phillipsfiberart.com
Hope this helps
