Double Wedding Ring Challenge

I seem to know lots of quilters that would like to make a double wedding ring quilt, but just never seem to get around to it... maybe because of the curved piecing or because of feeling unsure about color choices or they want to make it scrappy and don't have enough scraps (yea, like that would ever happen.... ). Anyway, I propose a challenge! Let's make double wedding ring quilts. I know it would be motivating to me to have others working on the same project to encourage, give information, help with color choices, and share progress. Now is the time to create that double wedding ring masterpiece that you've been putting off. Think about those young people you know that will one day be getting married and would love to have a double wedding ring quilt as a wedding gift. The fabrics in the sample above are from the Mama's Cottons collection.

Comment by glory jones on May 7, 2015 at 7:26am: This is my quilting design for both quilts. I am doing it on my domestic machine. I plan on giving these to my children when they get married.

Comment by Vivian on April 17, 2015 at 2:52pm: Great work Glory! Love the gradient work on the rings on your second one and both are very pretty done in batiks. Are you quilting these by hand or machine and are you using a particular stitch design for the centers?

Comment by Prairie Quilter Jan/NE on April 17, 2015 at 9:57am: Nice job on both Glory! Do you have a preference (the old fashioned pieced way or the paper-pieced way?) I did mine with templates (acrylic templates, so not really the "old fashioned" way). I haven't quite mastered paper piecing.

Are these for you or for others? Beautiful colors on both.

Comment by Myrna on April 17, 2015 at 9:50am: Glory, they are both lovely. I am doing he Bali Wedding Star quilt, which is a variation of the wedding ring quilt. It, too, is paper pieced but is taking me forever.

Comment by glory jones on April 17, 2015 at 9:34am: This is actually my first top and was done to old fashioned way. I have it about half way quilted.

Comment by glory jones on April 17, 2015 at 9:31am: Did not get the comment posted with the picture. Just finished the top below and cannot wait to quilt it. This was my second top and was paper pieced.

Comment by Myrna on November 25, 2014 at 9:28am: Pam, that is stunning. I'm so happy for you to get it finished. You must be feeling very proud of yourself; good for you.
