    Where could I find this one? (Sorry I clicked the wrong thing!)

    this is 'rings that bind'. no curved piecing. the price on amazon is crazy. the book is $24.95.

    on the picture of the book, click on the choice for the back cover to see the possibilities. it's done like a flippy thing with the addition of machine applique.

    google 'rings that bind' for other info.

    edit: i just thought of a good comparison. it's done like a fake 'orange peel'. exactly the same with your choice of back and front. the back has the rings that turn over to the front.

    quilt smart that's it not elenor burns like I had posted earlier. This method is super simple and there is not a single curve to it. I plan on making another one this same way but using nothing but scraps on the circle piece. Thanks for reminding me of the Quilt Smart method I always attribute it to Elenor Burns stuff cause of the bumpy stuff. Enjoy.

    Thanks for sharing this info. I've always loved this pattern but thought it was difficult with the curved pieces. This modern version looks very simple

    I just started the Double Wedding Ring using Marti Michell's templates and while it's challenging, it goes together real good if you just watch your accuracy when cutting and sewing. I hope that it's next year's August 13 or you're already behind the eight ball!!

    Kay Woods has Cheryl Philips on one of her videos that takes you step by step on making the DWR quilt called rings that bind. It is very easy to follow & goes together fast. Very worth using this method.

    I just checked it out. It looks so pretty.
    This may help you see what it looks like!
    Download the wedding qiults E-book and scroll down to the Modern Wedding Ring. It uses snowball blocks and strip piecing around a center square. EASY!
    peace

    I used these patterns for the Double Wedding Ring pictured in my avatar. Really the easiest pattern for this quilt, but can I say...it takes a looong time to hand quilt it. LOL!

    I just had to check it out on Amazon, that really must be a misprint for the price. I bought my book from Cheryl about 4 years ago and paid $40.00. Someone needs to inform her of the price that Amazon is charging. That is just outrageous.
