I have the Marti Michel set of plexi templates so everthing is cut with a rotary cutter and you mark match points.
Ken _____________________________________________ Yes I have this too. Made a beautiful queen size for my daughter. I think anyone could use this. The rotary cutting method is the easiest................ Kat's quilt [ATTACH=CONFIG]99444[/ATTACH] |
The easiest way to make it is using the Rings that Bind pattern book by Cheryl Phillips. It takes a LOT more fabric to make it but it's faster, easier and no quilting when you get done. I made a pillow top to see how easy it was and it's EASY. http://www.phillipsfiberart.com/
also Judy Martin has a Monet Wedding Ring pattern that is all straight edges. Super nice. http://www.judymartin.com/Viewer-Photos.cfm look under pictures from Sraps, Monet Wedding Ring |
I made a double wedding ring, using Elenor Burns method, that worked great for me, she uses a light weight fusible interfacing , you sew your pieces tog, then lay the fusible stuff on top, and sew on the outside edge, then turn it inside out , then applique it to your square, it works great.

the double wedding ring pattern is in her book, egg money quilts. you can get the pre-printed fusible at quiltsmart, http://www.quiltsmart.com/khxc/index...acing_doubleWR or you can make your own, if you make your own, you get the light weight fusible, it has the fusible stuff on just one side. |
I have the Go cutter and my next purchase is going to be the new double wedding ring dies. I am so excited they finally came out with this die! It sure will help not to have to cut all those smal pieces.

Ok, maybe I am a glutton for punishment. I am cutting out by hand each and every piece of material for my DWR. I made my own templates from the book by Emilie Richards "Wedding Ring" patterns. Haven't started sewing them together yet, so will see how it turns out. Still have pieces to cut.

I have my Go order all filled out, just waiting for free shipping to be available.

I used the "RINGS THAT BIND" book and template - I made my avatar with it and 4 other wall hangings. It was too easy. You quilt as you go and before you attach the rings to the center piece you can quilt in the center (I did my center (interior square by hand), then when you sew everything by machine it is also quilted in the seams, etc. I love it - Just waiting to for extra money to buy fabric to make a queen size. If I can do this anyone can do this... lol

I too used John Flynn's method and made my daughter a king size quilt and that was the second quilt I ever made. It was so easy to use. You strip quilt first, then are taking darts to make the curve. You don't have a lot of pieces to cut. Best wishes.
