I read/saw a pic of someone making the Eleanor Burns method....
thanks for your help!
Any tips/suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I cheated and just used a curve template and made my curves all one color.

I haven't been brave enough to try that one yet.

I bought the book Rings that Bind, by Cheryl Phillips. It also comes with a template and instructions for making it 2-color, or scrappy. You can view a video on Kay Wood's website. I'm anxious to make it - after some UFO's get finished.

I just finished making two DWR tops. I used the Eleanot Burns method which was VERY easy!

I can help you if you need help. Just PM me.

She was a speaker/teacher at one of my guilds last year. Her DWR is ooooooohhhh so cool!! If I ever make one I'm using her method.

A friend recently completed a DWR that was done using the Quiltsmart interfacing. It's beautiful! http://www.quiltsmart.com/

Here is a link to a strip pieced Wedding ring quilt. It appears to be more boxy, but very easy and no curves to piece. I have made several.

Here is one I made out of flannel.
