Well the wedding ring part is smaller than the traditional wedding ring quilt. The pinwheels are very easy. But the wedding ring has many, many tiny little pieces that require PERFECT cutting and piecing. If you think you can do that than have at it and good luck! Of course, we will want to see pictures as you go. Good luck.

I even did the scalloped binding. I still have it, though a little worn, and really proud of it since every stitch is mine.

As far as the quilts go, I don't know how many I have made. I worked a public job for 30 years and raised 2 kids so I didn't quilt all that much. I have kept the kids in quilts to use and have a closet full. I have also given a couple to friends. If I can get the camera and computer to cooperate, I'll post a picture later.

I have taken 2 double wedding ring classes one was the John Flynn method and one Cheryl Phillips and the Cheryl Phillips one is wonderful as it is quilt as you go can make any size and when you are done you are done no quilting or binding
the book is called "the Rings That Bind"
