Hi Everyone, My stepson is getting married next Nov, I'm thinking I would like to make them a double wedding ring quilt, I don't have much practice with quilting, although I've sewed for a long time. Info I have read suggest that it is not an easy pattern to tackle. What are your experiences with this design? The pictures I have seen all seem to have blue colours, and a white background. Are they usually made with blue fabric? Also, the scalloped edges look a little difficult, would it be acceptable to just finish with a straight edge?  I don't want to go so far from the original design that you can't tell whats its supposed to be! I appreciate any comments you may have. Thanks, Elly

John Flynn has a book and acrylic templates for the Double Wedding Ring. http://www.flynnquilt.com Look under acrylic templates. The book shows his method of putting it together which is streamlined and more easily done. Jeke Jay

| I also saw that show with the Double Wedding Ring, made simple. It was very interesting to watch how she was doing it. I liked the red and white one with the plaid fabric in it. It looked more complicated than it really was. |

I checked out that link, they have used beautiful colours. I haven't decided on what colours to use yet, hoping I can make it to the fabric store this weekend. I am anxious to get started on this project.

The ruler seems to simplify things a lot. I watched John Flynn's method once and it looked rather difficult to me.
