I know that it is not a DWR, but you can see the fabrics and how that color combination works. HTH

I can visualize a really pretty one using the very pale yellow for the background and a brighter yellow and a medium gray for the four patches at the intersections and then a random variety of yellow and black/black and yellow prints for the slices of the rings.
I think you and she both would be very happy with one done this way. Kind of a cross between traditional and modern.

I think the shades you use should represent your daughter and future son in laws style and personalities. Is she the type that goes for light, pale type colors ( go with the pale greys and yellows ) or does she prefer bright, vibrant with high contrast ( go with the vibrant high contrast ones ) ? You want them to use this quilt in their home , so take them and their styles and tastes into consideration as well.

I made a friends daughter a wedding ring quilt in black, turquoise, white. Turned out really pretty. And ONE red piece in memory of her sister. This red piece was a surprise to her.
