Have you ever done paper piecing?
Here is a link to a free pattern and paper pieced templates. I hyave just started this because I didn't want all the headache of getting each piece exactly perfect or the added expense of another tool. Good luck.

There is also a dwr pattern which uses nine patches laid out in rings with triangles inbetween them. The pattern is called Jack's Chain. I am in the process of making nine patches for one. The construction is all done without sewing into the seam allowances, though. I tried doing the nine patches that way on the sewing machine, and had a hard time getting my points lined up exactly, so I gave that up and am now handpiecing for the first time. I had long admired this pattern, and am putting my small scraps to good use by cutting them into 2 inch squares.

I am working on one right now and in my process of searching for ways I found several as I'm sure you know. And I am going to finish one in all the techniques just to say I did. The one I chose for my daughter was this one...

It went together very fast and I can link as many together for the traditional look or piece them in arches for the more scrappy look..I did end up using the arches and corner squares..I basically combined the above pattern with the technique of this one..

although I am using a whole cloth and applique method..the trick is to keep everything straight. I am loving how its turning out. =) Good luck on whatever you choose. I have learned alot about the Wedding Ring Quilts in my research.
