I promised my daughter a DWR quilt for her queen size bed but now I can't find the templates at JoAnns anymore. I have never made one of these quilt & need some suggestions on the best way to go. I machine piece but hand quilt. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreicated!

Eleanor Burns details the Double Wedding ring in one of her videos. Her book Egg Money Quilts also shows it and all the needed supplies are on her website. |
I have the dies for the DWR for my Accuquilt machine. Maybe someone near you has them too and could cut it for you???

Here is a link to one set. |
You might check out www.quilterscache.com she has a free paper pieced version. Hoopsisters have one that is totally made in the hoop - including the quilting. I have been dodging this bullet for about six years - one of my nieces wants one ...in all blue.

Judy Martin has one made of rectangles and squares in her 'Scraps" book. It is an interesting pattern that is a non-traditonal, traditional. I know that doesn't sound right but it might be worth a look. It is also on the front of the book so you could google it and looke at it.

Shar Jorgenson has a great set as well.
http://www.qheartland.com/ it is strip pieced and really easy to do! I should finish mine.. :D |
I paper pieced mine found on the internet. I found it went really quick and easy everything was right on!
|
PatriceJ has a tute on here for one. Wedding Ring chat class. Check it out. It's great.

One day I will get up enough nerve to try one. I think the finished quilt is so beautiful. Probably beyond my skill level now................but I will keep chugging along and learning every day.

Omnigrid and Marti Michell make template sets for cutting a DWR. The speed piecing method would be John Flynn. Elenor Burns made a version with fusible interfacing as well as Quiltsmart. Oops almost forgot the Ardco template set. Once you pick a method there are lots of resources since this is a very traditional pattern. Just watch your bias if doing this traditionally. It can be a friend or foe.
