Double wedding ring quilt
I want to make the double wedding ring quilt.can you tell me what is the easiest method to make and where to find that pattern. Thanks in advance.

There are several methods. My favorite is the Marti Michel templates. I like them because the rings are perfectly round, not oval or rounded squares. I'm sure others will chime in on their favorite method also.

Thanks where do I find those template

I just looked it up on the computer i just want the one where you use your stash for the rings

I typically do traditional piecing styles and so the curves and angles aren't that big a deal to me but might be more problematic for other people. Some people applique the arcs on instead of seaming them into the background, for instance. You might see if you have a book available in your library, classic pattern so chances are good.
Here's a free pattern, for me I like the pieces in the arcs to be a bit bigger but all in all this looks pretty good. https://www.quiltingcompany.com/free...quilt-pattern/ |

I have made 2 DWR and I highly recommend Sharlene Jorgenson's templates. (I am sure the other templates are good, I just have never used them :)
I bought the templates on Amazon. She has videos to watch as well https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I will be making another DWR sometime I love how mine turned out |
Creative Grids also has templates. And here is another:

I made several blocks once. put rows together but never finished them into a whole quilt. i gave them away to someone who would finish the project. shame but i was in another slump!
I did like the way i had to use triangles on the ends of the arcs. made thing so easy. |

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".

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
