A Chance to Win and 5 TIPS!
How about a little more fun with Double Wedding Ring?
And a chance to win the shape collection? OR a $40 Inklingo Gift Certificate?
You don’t have to be an expert quilter with a ton of patience to sew DWR anymore. Just print the shapes on fabric with Inklingo!
Today there are more Double Wedding Ring Quilt designs to inspire you and 5 tips to help you sew one.
This design has arcs with 8 pieces (plus ends). Impressive!
TIP 1 Use the unique pressing guide in the Double Wedding Ring Design Book to press the seams in the right direction—and to check the size of the arcs!
This is the same design with a few little tweaks. Approx 52 x 52 inches.
ON-POINT SETTINGS
For me, the real magic happens when the blocks are turned on point.
This design is about 72 x 72. Wouldn’t it look lovely on a bed with another row of DWR all the way around (96 x 96)?
TIP 2 Use the worksheets in the Double Wedding Ring Design Book OR the Double Wedding Ring Electric Quilt project file to find the finished size of your design.
Double Wedding Ring Quilts with an on-point design can be finished with a straight edge.
TIP 3 This half center is provided in two Inklingo layouts to print on fabric. Print the one with straight grain on the long side if you are using it on the outside edge of the quilt.
On-point with a medallion effect. Having a variety of centers with appropriate straight grain makes it possible.
This one uses the half center with straight grain on the long side.
TIP 4 You can put a Double Wedding Ring Border on any quilt! Had you thought of that?
All of the arcs in this one are identical, but . . .
. . .you can use more than one kind of arc in each quilt. So many choices!
I went with Russ to Niagara Falls NY yesterday to mail book orders. It was the perfect day to walk in Niagara-on-the-Lake too—without the weekend crowds. The spring flowers and blossoms are glorious right now. I came home inspired to try one more design.
I’ll call this one Blossoms in Niagara on the Lake.
If you compare these designs with those in the two previous messages, you will see why I love on-point settings so much.
TIP 5 You can have 7 pieces (plus ends) in each arc by using two different sizes. That’s what I did for my blossoms design.

This is perfect! I’ve always loved the DWR but was always too intimidated, but now that my youngest is marrying the perfect girl, it’s just the incentive I need to make this happen!
Hi Kathy, It is certainly a happy time for your family! 🙂 If you have questions as you go along, please ask. I am happy to help. Linda
I love the ‘Blossoms in Niagara on the Lake’ – it really is all about color selections. I’ve only begun to quilt a couple of years ago, but have found that your method especially combined with EQ7 is the perfect way to quilt. Thank you sew much. I would love to make this quilt, but I have always thought this pattern was to difficult – now I see there is hope. Thank you. Hope I win <3
Amazing…I now see the DWR in a whole new light. I would like to try one day.

Inklingo is soooo cool. I am working on a wedding quilt for my brother and my future sister-in-law and although the quilt is done, the borders have to be done. It’s been a challenge to decide what kind of borders I wanted, and all of a sudden I received an blog entry from Bonnie Hunter reminding everyone of your contest. Well guess what – the light bulb went off – that’s what my border will be DWRs!!! Thank you thank you, thank you – Bonnie for sending the blog out and Linda & Monkey for providing the opportunity and the inspiration!! Hope I am one of the very lucky winners!! Carmela
WOW! I just found this site and I’m going OMG I have to try this. Thanks for the chance to win your give-a-way. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have always wanted to make a DWR quilt. And now I wouldn’t even know where to start. Your designs are beautiful! I think this give away would be a great way to start.
For my daughter’s wedding, I did a DWR for her the ‘old fashioned’ way. Your designs with Inklingo look like they would be such fun to do. It seems the design possibilities are endless. Very interesting.
Thank you for the opportunity to win, and have lots of fun…:0)
Thanks for the opportunity to win a dwr pattern.
Linda, I have the Double Wedding Ring and am working on one now. I am thoroughly enjoying the NYB 1 and am just about to purchase NYB2. I just completed my Jospeh’s Coat.. just need to quilt it. I couldn’t have done any of this without Inklingo. Handpiecing is my relaxation therapy and I never miss an opportunity to tell a fellow quilter just how easy it is using Inklingo.
Wow, really beautiful..would love to win. Thanks for the opportunity.
I love the double wedding ring. Years ago I went to Niagra on the Lake. I actually liked it more than the falls. It was a lovely drive and shopping was fun.
These are absolutely beautiful Double Wedding Ring quilt designs! I love the half center piece and all the design possibilities. The Blossoms design is lovely.
I would just love to win the double wedding ring pattern. This is a quilt that I have wanted to make for the last 30 years. Thank you Linda, for running this contest.

Have always thought that this pattern was too complicated for me to have a go – now I can see that it can indeed be done, especially with the correct tools. Thanks for the opportunity to enter the draw and for me to have a chance at winning this.
Cheers
Inklingo is new to me and I find it very interesting. Inklingo offers many opportunities to use my beautifully wonderful scraps that have accumulated over the years. I think I am in love. :’)
Always wanted to make a DWR, always looked way to complicated, think this would make it a lot easier.
I’ve always loved this pattern, but thought it was far too difficult for me – but maybe not now! Thanks for the chance.
This looks like a fun way to work on a DWR. I’d love to win.
