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.

I made a DWR the old-fashioned way and said “Never Again!” but would love to try one with Inklingo. Keeping my toes crossed that I win!

I’ve been a fan for years, but never got started. I love the monkey. I wanted to buy the original discs. I’m not very technical. Would love to win this prize. I’m sure I can figure it out. My next to youngest daughter recently got engaged with no date set so i think I can get a DWR done by then. LOL. I plan to hand piece. Need to start soon. Thanks and invisible Hugs & Kisses to the monkey. Peace and love to all.
It’s beatifull
Amazing double wedding ring designs, I would love to try the Inklingo way to piece some of these beautiful quilts,
I would love to try out inklingo and this pattern is fabulous.
Amazing, so many designs from one block. this is an amazing way to quilt. I must go read more about inklingo? Thanks for the giveaway.
I’ve been fascinated with the Inklingo, but haven’t gotten an opportunity yet to try it. There are alot of great designs to dream up with this!
Would love to try this method. Always willing to try something new.
I have been thinking for quite a while now, that I would like to try this technique – especially the double wedding ring. What a bonus if I could win this comp.
Thank
Chris
Making a wedding ring quilt has always been a dream of mine. I think i could do it with Inklingo. Awesome pattern and possibilites.

Many thanks!
Love the many options we have with the DWR using inklingo. Would love to try one. Monkey looks so serious wearing the glasses.
Thank you also for the lovely video.
I really, really want to make a DWR quilt for my DIL, she wants a reproduction using 30s fabrics. I want the 8 arc one!!! This pattern is very intimidating, so you seem to have made is sound easy!!! I’m so inspired.
Thanks so much! I’m ready to play!!
What a great prize. I’ve been wanting to make a DWR, now is my chance.
Thanks so much for the giveaway AND for all the wonderful layouts. I never imagined you could do so much with DWR.
Apparently I left the comment on the wrong site. Hope this time it is right. Found the instuctions confusing. I really like the double wedding ring quilt. Very beautiful and truly inspiring. Mary
You do such an outstanding job with all your creations! Thank you so much for this opportunity. Hi to Monkey!
Wonderful designs Linda. You make me want to do several DWR quilts!
I’ve always wanted to make a DWR quilt, your layout ideas are awesome and I suspect one quilt would not be enough! Who knew you could do so much with this design? Thanks for inspiring us.
All of these quilts look lovely but the niagara on the lake is especially pretty.
I love, love, love Double Wedding Ring AND Inklingo. Can’t wait to try some of the beautiful designs posted.
I have been thinking about making another double wedding ring. I made a wedding ring top a long time ago for a friend’s wedding. I never got around to making one for myself. I love all your design inspirations and have thought of a few ways myself. I plan to turn it into a pattern. I need to get busy marketing my own designs. This may just be the inspiration I need.
I am also going to subscribe so I don’t need to depend on seeing your posts in quilt designers group
I am currently making a king sized DWR, using Inklingo to make it has made it a very easy & enjoyable process. Since I have the DWR, I would LOVE to win and make a New York Beauty as I live in NY! 🙂
Great inspiring DWR video! Thank you for Inklingo, truly a wonderful quilting aid!!
What a great idea! I think I could do it this way.
Linda,
The video is great!! It really gets me thinking…I would love to win a gift certificate. I already have the DWR but I don’t have every collection. I Love the lines!!!!
Kathy
I’ve always wanted to make a DWR. Now I have no excuse. It looks like with Inklingo, it can be fast and fun. Love your designs.
Love the video and your Inklingo shapes have me thinking….
Your video is awesome, Linda!
Love inklingo after my minor brain tweak (thanks Linda) now I’m going gangbusters!
Just started my first Inklingo project, a miniature grandmothers flower garden. Don’t think that it would be possible without Inklingo. Talk about a take along project, wonderful! Joan
I started a DWR many years ago and didn’t finish it. Inklingo is the ticket to make it easier and get this quilt out of the UFO pile.
Judy
We are fortunate to have a bed-size Double Wedding Ring Quilt made for my husband’s parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. It’s a real treasure, having been made years ago, the hard way with templates and it is hand quilted. Making them with Inklingo will be fun and so easily doable in contrast! I had no idea there were so many variations. I love all the possibilities! Great video, Linda!
This is so-o-o awesome! I would love to win!
I am a WINNER — live in Panama and love to quilt. Linda you work is wonderful111
love to win! it looks like an awesome technique
Leona

Just beautiful. One of my projects for the future.
Aren’t they beautiful? Oh, for some time! I owe my son and DIL a DWR quilt – in white. I suppose it will have to be different fabrics and textures instead of colours. Oh well, good luck to whoever wins 🙂
Wow, oh Wow!! I have always been fascinated and intimidated by double wedding rings, and curves in general. I think I could do it with Inklingo. Thanks!
I love this design and would love to be able to print it onto my fabrics! This would be great take-along project because I love to do handwork while traveling or just during my lunch break–thanks, Linda!
I am amazed at all the different layouts for DWR. I’ve always been afraid to even start a DWR. I must admit all these wonderful layouts have me thinking about trying one!
Kiwi
DWR has always been one of my faves but I have never made one — yet. *g*
Great little movie… thank you Linda and Monkey. Please toss my name in the hat. Who knows; I could be the lucky one.
I have only just discovered Inklingo. I’ve downloaded the free shapes and tutorial and am about to try them out. I love the concept. Who knows – maybe I WILL make a double wedding ring quilt one day….!
I have always wanted to make a double wedding ring quilt, but thought it was to hard foe me to even try. I would love to win and to be able to fulfill my dream of making one.
I would SO love to try this out – wonderful designs!
Hej Linda and Monkey
I will love Monkey more if you will help me to be the lucky one, and I will do a big wedding ring.
