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. http://www.mccallsquilting.com/patte....html?idx=6913 |
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.

Wow, that is a great way to do DWR, thanks for sharing

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...
http://www.winnowing.com/circle.html 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.. http://doubleweddingringquilts.com/d...-quilts-e-book 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. |
duckydo, you are welcome! It was the very last pattern in a book I have. I am not home now to check, but the book may be 101 Nine Patch Quilts (?). Not certain of the name...

My daughter has asked for a quilt in the double wedding ring pattern. I have made some quilt tops but none that look as intricate as that. Any suggestions on where to find a Double Wedding Ring Pattern that is relatively easy to understand and has a dash of "dummy proof" added?

There are some DWR patterns out. Check out Eleanor Burns. I am in the process of making one and you are right they are intricate and not so easy to do. I sew on mine a while and then put it away and work on something else for a while. That way I don't get to burned out on this project.
