Double Wedding Ring Quilt Pattern
#1
Hello all, Suffering through another hot and humid summer day in coastal South Carolina and counting the months until the weather becomes bearable again. I'm looking for advice about making a double wedding ring quilt. I've researched the different ways to make this quilt and to be perfectly honest, I'm petrified. Has anyone found a pattern that has a few tricks to make this quilt pattern easier, for example, a template, paper piecing, maybe some new cool gadget? I'm an imtermediate quilter and have tackled a number of difficult patterns, but this one has me worried. Thanks, Kathy

When I made mine, I purchase a book that included the acrylic templates (like the ones Ken posted about) from Hobby Loby for around $20. I figured since I was going to spend $125-$150 on fabrics, it was a small investment. It was well worth it at three times the price. So much easier to rotary cut, and mark your matching points, and had step-by-step directions, fabric amounts, everything. I have seen the same book and templates at Joanns and with their coupon it would be a really great deal.

I just took a class using Quilt Smart. This is like fusible interfacing and then the arc's are fused to the background and stitched with invisible thread. It is working out great and is the only way I would ever make one of these, so it works for me. Check it out here: http://www.quiltsmart.com/Pages/mo_d...dding_ring.htm

Look at this one on Simply Quilts. The Rings that Bind is the book about it and my book came with the arc tool. No curved piecing and it is quilt as you go.
