Monet's wedding ring quilt has squares, not curves...looks very similar but a whole lot easier.
|
I used the templates from Clotilde several years ago to make two wedding ring quilts and they workede beautifully and last forever. I was not nor am I an expert by any means and I did it so anyone can.

Paper piecing.

That's a fantastic way to make this quilt. Looks great!

One time I heard on a show all you really needed was the template that looked like a football. I have the templates, but haven't tried it yet. I may try the easier way. Anyone else hear this?

Quilt Smart makes a fusible foundation kit that you might also want to check out. |
The Quiltsmart pattern doesn't have actual curves. It just appears curved.

There was a book I used to do a double wedding ring about ten years ago. John Flynn (some may remember him from Alex Anderson's show on HGTV) was the author. The thing I loved about how the quilt was made was that it did not require all of the cutting using templates. You would start with long strips which you would sew together to form traditonal strip sets. Once the strip sets were sewn and pressed, you would cut them into cross-sections. You would then take these cross-sections and resew the seams so they caused the fabric cross strips to curve. The only templates you had to cut were the centers and half moons. I took a clas at a shop in Warrenton, VA and it was amazing how many blocks I had done in 4-6 hours. The book is still available on his website under books and patterns. Sorry I don't know how to post a link.
