    I have been working on one for the last couple of months. I bought a laser cut kit, I hate the cutting part. It is still taking time to sew each of the pieces into the arches but at least I did not spend hours cutting the hundreds of pieces from a template.

    I agree with bakermom. That is how I am going to make one, so I don't have to deal with the curves in seams. You can topstitch the wedding rings down with clear thread, and it looks like you hand sewed them on!

    NOT lovin' it! I just upgraded from a Blackberry to a 'smart' phone and there is nothing smart about it! Plus I now keep pressing random screens assuming they are all touch screens. And my fingers are too fat to 'type' on it. And I lisp a little so it doesn't 'get' all of my voice.

    Any way I am saving your post as my daughter might get married and I will make them one!

    Try a book that is called Rings that Bind. Can't remember the author. The book is still packed in the multiple boxes in the middle of my unfinished sewing room. Simply put it is a double wedding ring that is quilted as you go and when you put on the last circle it is DONE! It is made with strip sets and then using the arch template cutting the 4 pieces that make the circle. Then stitched to the circle backing, layered with batting and front square. Quilt the front square then put 2 circles together back to back and stitch across. Fold over the outer edge and stitch down making the interlocking circles. I am working on one now. Acutally have been for the past 7 years. Hope to fininsh it by my daughters 8th anniversary in September. We keep moving or other life issues keep getting in the way.
