I highly recommend the Quilting from the Heartland/Omni template set (By Shar Jorgenson) There is a complete set of rotary cutter templates and step by step directions. Plus several different ways to do the rings. THere is a one piece arc as well as the pieced arc.
I have used it and it all worked really well.

kathy,
i had tryed to follow instructions for many different double wedding ring quilts i would get very upset because i could not get the peices to match up i finally asked my aunt who has been quilting for over 50 yrs and she told me she had never attempted a wedding ring quilt because it is a very hard pattern after hearing this i was very scared of the wedding ring pattern but i went to a site called mccals quiting patterns and found the double wedding ring templates and instructions i started one last week and i have the quilt top almost finish in a weeks time it is so easy with this pattern i will never be affraid again , i showed the quilt to my aunt and she asked how did you get that much of it done in such a short time. i am telling you it has been so easy and moves right along you really dont relize how far you have gotten intil you stop and look please try it kim

this is a tutorial that patrice did waaay long ago. read it carefully. all the templates can be downloaded. the instructions and pictures are very clear. i think you won't have any trouble understanding them at all. she's a great tute writer.

thanks Butterflywing. I just printed what I could of the tutoral from Patrice, but was unable to get the pattern to download to my computer. It is not found. I am having a lot of problems with all my downloads lately.

are you trying to download the right 'download'? it's the first one, where it says GRAPHICS, not on the bottom line, but on the line above that, all the way to the right.

i can't download that bottom line either.

OK thanks I will try it. I did print the instructions-most of them but no pattern. I found that there are 5 site pages to go through but I will do that tomorrow. I am tired as we went out to the Outback Spectacular last night at the Gold Coast. Well worth the second time too. Took SIL since he wasn't here in February when the girls took us for our 40th.
I tried to download where you said but it still wont come up. I don't have graphic on my computer to print out. Has any one got the pattern that they can email me please. I have all the other information I printed them out but can't download for some reason. This is not the only thing I can not do either. I am disappointed too, been trying to gt it for years and the the instructions are easy to follow. :cry:

if you send me your address i will put a copy of the templates and instruction in the mail for you tommorrow

if you pm, i'll send them to you by snail mail. no problem. easy templates.

I also used this set and also recommend it. The DWR is a tedious one to sew but the results are SEW worth it!

I used a template set which would allow you to make the arches all one fabric or small individual pieces in the arches. I made one for my sister using the single print fabric arches with a solid color connecting piece. The resulting quilt, which was a wedding gift for my older sister who remarried after 31 years as a widow, is my avitar.
