Oh Donnai, this may be the best easiest way mentioned yet for you. the Quiltsmart fusible preprinted sheets. Check it out.

I have made a DWR quilt and used Shar Jorgenson templates. I enjoyed doing the DWR this way. I cut out all of my pieces and put them in a pizza box and when I had time I would go in and make a couple of blocks. The templates are plastic and easy to use. This method does take some time but so rewarding and I got the right size of pieces all the time. Good luck on your quest.

I've not made one, but if I was in a hurry, I'd look into this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-H6GAsqNus

I use the Sharlene Georgenson Templates. I have had them for more than 20 years and have made 5 DWR quilts, 2 kings and 3 queens. The templates were great and the book that came with the templates shows a number of different ways to do the DWR. Have fun with this beautiful and challenging quilt you will love the end results.

I use the Creative Grids. Have made 6 double wedding ring quilts and one in progress, but wedding was cancelled. Love them. I took the arc template and made a paper template of the sections, printed it on computer paper and paper piece the arcs. Love doing it this way. Probably a bit wasteful, but works good for me.

I like the Sharlene Georgenson Templates because the rings end up being truely "round".

thanks for that suggestion. i've been bothered by those that are not 'round'. I have some grandkids that a coming to the age that they may get married, so put these templates in my calendar for next year... i'm too busy with other quilts to order them now

I have made three using Rings that Bind method. The third one I got creative and pieced my fabric. No one at guild knew I didn't do it the old fashioned way. LOL The only con is it uses a lot of fabric especially the background and backing. That stops some people from even trying. When you are done you are done so that makes it worth it to me.

Years ago I did a “ties that bind” wedding ring.
Kaye wood had a video on it..

I made a Rings that Bind one. It does take a lot of fabric but so worth it. It won viewer's choice at a large local quilt show. I used bright printed fabric (found out later it was Kaffe Fassett fabric line) had no idea what I was doing as it was the second quilt I ever made. I followed the directions and it worked perfectly. LOL
