Ok, I remember a quilt I thought was called wedding ring but when I looked that up it did not look anything like the one I remember. Not even double wedding ring although one version I saw was close.
The was a full quilt with an interconnecting ring on it. You know like the magians ring trick when they are connected. It looked like that but it was Not a block but the design center of the quilt. It was on a white quilt with a border and the connecting rings were big. Filled up most of the quilt and this was on a king size bed. That was all it had one ring connected to the other but no repeating pattern.
Anyone have a clue what this pattern is called or where I can find it?

Probelm is I saw this quilt 35+ years ago. I have not found a pattern like it to show. It looks like the double wedding ring but with only 2 rings instead of four and does not repeat.
If you draw two rings overlapping and sized them to fill the middle of a quilt that is what this would look like. The rest of the quilt is blank except for boarder and binding.

You probably couldn't have picked a finer challenge than to try to remember something from 35 years ago <g> and then select something that was probably someone's moment of ultimate creativity.
It sounds to me that you are about to embark on a career called "design" .. which is where all those patterns in books and magazines come from.
Always remember:
You are working with an inanimate object. As a human you have superiority over all inanimate objects. You can make most of them do whatever you want!
With that in mind, start drawing out your pattern the way you remember it, and then start making it fit the size of your target.
If you saw it done once, it can be accomplished again.
I hope you are correctly inspired to keep working at it, since you very much have just the right frame of mind to progress well into and through the quilting world.

could it have been a variation of the friendship knot?

No but that is a neat quilt. I am thinking after that it might be a variation of the DBl wedding ring. The only wedding ring quilts I found were not circles like that but that frienship and the double wedding rings are closer than the simply wedding ring.
If anyone knows of any links I have not looked at for the ring quilts please pass them on. I am really curious to what this quilt is called for I can not forget about it now. :-)
