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.

Probably they only way I would attempt a DWR, and I love all the different layouts that you have shared, they too appeal to me more than the traditional layouts.
This looks like a great way to make DWR quilts! Thanks for entering me in the drawing!
I love this!! It would be so beautiful to make!!
Happy Mother’s Day to all. This is very intriguing and I’m going back to try to understand it. Thank you.
I’ve always wanted to do a double wedding ring quilt and would love the kit.
I have siblings getting married in the next year, so winning this would come in very handy!
A double wedding ring quilt is one of the quilts that is on my bucket list of things to do.
Thanks for the Mother’s Day giveaway. I would probably never attempt a Double Wedding Ring except with Inklingo “Training Wheels.”
Just visited your blog for the first time after reading Bonnie Hunter’s blog. I’ve never attempted a DWR….it was always too intimidating. Doing it your way actually looks possible! 🙂 If I happened to be a winner, I’d have no more excuses to prevent me from making a dream come true DWR quilt. I’m really impressed with your information! Thanks for the chance to put my name in the pot! Have a great day!
I am just starting a double wedding quilt for my daughter. It would be so nice to win this pattern.
I am new here but am finding this such a great thing.
This looks great, I’d love to try it!
I have been wanting to try Inklingo but have not done it yet. I would love to win this since I have always wanted to do the double wedding ring and have been intimidated by it. Thanks for the chance to win.
That is so neat I would love to win and be able to make one of these quilts. They are beautiful.
What a wonderful giveaway for this special day. I would love to win the DWR.
I haven’t tried Inklingo yet, but have heard good things about it. Double Wedding Ring is on my quilting “bucket list” & your variations are so beautiful, I would love to try this!
Thanks for the chance to win.
I have always wanted to make a double wedding ring quilt. These are some of the most beautiful variations I have seen. Thanks for your generosity!
I’m always drawn to double wedding rings and sure want to make one sometime!
I’ve always wanted to do s DWR quilt and your way makes it look so much more manageable – would love to win!
I love your designs…the quilt I made from your book, Quilted Diamonds took me beyond my comfort zone and is one of the best quilts I’ve created to date…pick me, pick me! it would make my day on Mother’s Day to win this generous giveaway!
What a wonderful giveaway! I’ve always wanted to make a DWR and this would push me to cross that off of the bucket list.
Thanks for your giveaway. I would love to win the DWR.
Wow – it would be so great to have this kind of help in making a DWR!!! I have always wanted to make one but chicken out when it comes down to it :*) Thanks for the giveaway!!!
I love, love, love the DWR quilt! I have one that my paternal grandmother made … in mustardy gold/purple colors. The colors are not very pretty, but it’s the only thing I have of hers (she passed in 1968), so it’s worth the world to me. I’d love to be able to make two DWRs (NOT in purple/gold – ha!) for my two granddaughters to keep and cherish – maybe even start a family tradition of handing down DWR quilts. 😉
This one is on my bucket list!!!
Is it possible to be overwhelmed by simplicity? So many shapes, so little time!!! Love the Blossoms colors! Thanks for Inklingo!
You’ve got my wheels going now! Love all of the design variations. Thanks for the ideas and the giveaway.
What a fascinating idea. I’d love to try it
I would love to win the above DWR pattern. I have made and hand
quilted several. I never win, so I may buy this pattern.
Love your website.

Linda & Monkey — Wow, what a great product, I’d love to do a DWR quilt, and it sure looks like Inklingo is the way to do one. And so many choices of how to do one… great!!!
So beautiful! Would love to win to celebrate my birthday and Mothers Day!
This is just a cool way to do a double wedding ring, love to get.
Thanks
Sandra
I’d love to win your giveaway. I’ve thought about trying Inklingo several times but haven’t done it yet so this would be a perfect start. Thanks for the chance to win.
I am soooo impressed with the different layouts, and combinations, which I’ve never seen before – I’m inclined to “stick to the book” – and here is a whole “new book” to consider. Have always loved the DWR design, and never considered doing it – too much work to trace and then cut those little itty bits, and worry about will they fit. Now – with Inklingo – the worst is sorted, and the accuracy is almost guaranteed – one can still s-t-i-t-c-h skew, can’t one ?! But definitely worth a try.
Thankyou for the opportunity.
Just got this information. Would love to make w DWR but have never worked up the courage. Maybe I’ll win and learn how to do it. Thanks.
linda and monkey, i would be so excited to win the double wedding ring quilt templates and design books. i’ve been hedging a bit on this process but for the last several months have been looking, watching and learning. thanks for all you do.

What a lovely give away. I’d love to win this.
I’d love to add DWR to my Inklingo collection of shapes. The best parts are the relative ease of stitching, the portability, and the perfect results.
I’ve have several Inklingo shapes and have sewn a few bits and pieces…but I think the Wedding Ring will be shape I would finally sew into a quilt!
