Hi - I am working on this same pattern from McCalls - I have everything all paper pieced and cut out - I just need to get started on sewing the darn thing. I am a little bit intimidated about sewing the curves.

If you use Google: Type in paper-pieced Double Wedding Ring quilt pattern. You should see a link for McCalls quilting. Click on that link and it will take you right to the pattern.

Read my lips (well I guess you can't) but if you could it would
say "nothing your a quilter". Thanks for sharing the link.

Can you sell a quilt and buy a mechanical dishwasher? I have a little robot vacuum cleaner that runs around keeping the floors clean.. It has the artificial intelligence of a cricket...and is called a roomba, and it is easy to pick threads out of its roller / brushes.
Can you trade table toppers or baby quilts for help cleaning, from some of our younger children occupied quilters? Call it a quilter's retreat, they go home with a finished project, anf your house is more orderly.
They just might enjoy a half day out - away from the clamor?
I remember that I would have. There is some kind of magic about helping in somebody elses house.J

That's a great idea! For some reason is doesn't seem as bad cleaning someone elses house as my own. I did get my dishes finished, but it took most of the day since they needed to air dry between washings. I posted a link in the non-quilting section entitled "How to wash dishes in 5 easy steps......"

There is a much easyer way to make the Double Wedding Ring quilt on KayeWoodTV.com Once you get to the site, go to quilts & Wall hangings. Then scroll down to Rings that Binds. This way, finishes the front & back at the same time.

Looks like we are all alike. Can't wait to go to that site cuz I also want to make a double wedding ring. Thanks.

Thanks for that information. However, my pocketbook can't justify the $18.95 for the DVD or the $24.95 for the patterns and templates. Sure looks like something very nice to have, but my budget dictates it is not for me right now. Again, thanks for the information. I hope it is helpful to others. :D
