Thanks everyone! I actually seen her on you tube and she made it look so easy. I looked for her book and templates but the site I found them on was sold out. I will have to look again thanks

I've done several...it is not something that goes quickly unless you use the cheaters. Check out Marti Mithcel(sp?) or other patterns. I tend to do mine by hand to do the arcs and then machine piece the "footballs" formed by the arc pieces to the centers. Then you put the puzzle together, all weird peices. LL You can do it! But it will not be fast or easy. Good luck with it.

I have worked some with curves and don't mind them. I've done several drunkards path quilts. I got the DWRing quilt templates from John Flynn because I'd heard that he had a quick way to do it. Basically it involves sewing a strip instead of cutting wedge shaped pieces, and then making an additional increase in the seams to make the piece curve. A different process to be sure, but still labor intensive. But the hardest part of the process is NOT piecing the curves, it is making the pieced curves have the ACCURATE shape. If you're off even a little, it lays funny. I took a class to make a tablerunner, but never finished it because I just didnt like the process. Obviously lots of people do, and I'm impressed with their work, but its not for me. (As you can see from my avatar, I don't avoid tedious work!) I agree with whoever said use one of those cheater fabrics , or just make the curves a solid piece. Good luck!

I have one in my UFO pile that needs to be finished. It's being done as an applique. It's on my list to be finished & then on to another one as my DD just asked for one for her! I have the Rings that Bind book & tool & intend on using that method for the next one.

This one is a good cheater way. I have it and recommend you watch the video to understand the method.

Right now, my mother (84 years young) and I are working on a double wedding ring that is pieced. We bought the fabrics and had them laser cut, thinking that would help the accuracy. The only problem is the directions for piecing are not wonderful. Then I saw a book (around $20) by the company that cut the pieces which was much more detailed. I hate to spend the $$ when it should have been okay with directions already sent. So, my advice on the wedding ring is...don't do it this way. No suggestions about a better way...I don't like the looks of the turned applique or other cheater methods...really thought I had this whipped with the laser cuts. They DO help, but need better instructions.

Check out John Flynn's method.....strip piecing with darts......I got the book and found it great.

It is a very nice pattern. I am making one for my daughter, it is taking awhile for me to finish it. I am using paper piecing method. each square is a different fabric. I am using batiks.

in a group where I sew one lady has finished one and is on her second by paper piecing looks very easy but I don't know who makes the pattern could ask her
