    Default Wedding Ring Rulers

    OK,
    I have a question to ask the group.
    I need to make a Wedding Ring quilt (queen Size). I was wondering
    what type of Wedding Ring Rulers did you use when you made one?
    Because there so many pieces to cut out I just decided to get a ruler set instead of trying to cut
    my own by paper/cardboard, that way maybe with luck (ha ha) the pieces may come out the same size
    when cutting my fabric, and if you have any tips/advice on this quilt please, please share the tips with me
    Thank you.

    Can't help much but I will follow this thread, as I'm looking at Shar Jorgensens' templates

    http://www.qheartland.com/pd_double_wedding_ring.cfm

    Have tried the "Rings that Bind' method - and mucked it up. Didn't realize the end section should be cut on the bias, and my backing circles stretched (or shrunk) with sewing and ended up different sizes. So now plan on undoing it all and starting again, as I adore the fabrics.

    Was also looking for the templaates for Judy Niemeyers' Bali Wedding Star, but couldn't find them on Creative Grids. Perhaps they only come with a kit. Will look elsewhere later

    With all those pieces, and one mistake behind me, it might be time for the accuquilt wedding ring die:

    the pieces are all cut perfect

    If you want to make it easy the book Rings that Bind and the template acrylic ruler that comes with it is great.

    I made one with the Marti Michel templates. All the curves came together easily and I was very happy with the results. With separate templates like hers, most of the time is spent in the cutting. Once the pieces are cut, you can just sew away. I highly recommend them.

    although her video is for the die cutter, I think her assembly instructions are super-that's where it can get tricky.. I think you can apply some of her ideas to your project. Ebony Love at Love Studio...I know she is on YouTube.....I will attempt to get the link.......

    I am currently making one. I bought templates off Amazon and watched the Shar Jorgenson videos. The templates I bought are similar. So far I've got half of a king size quilt pieced and am about halfway through handquilting that. I'm going to do it in sections to make quilting it easier.

    I've made three king size DWRs using this method. I use thin batting and each ring sews up perfectly matched.

    I used Shar Jorgensen's templates. I didn't realize that the end pieces of the arches were angled differently. I discovered that when I started putting the rows together. A few were on the wrong end and I had to turn them around. It was very difficult, but I got it done. The quilt turned out beautiful. Now I just have to make the sandwich, quilt, and bind it and I am done. Did I mention that it is king sized? After typing this I realize that I am only on first base. I'm afraid that it is in my UFO closet. Maybe someday--right now it gives me the "evil eye" every time I walk past the closet where it is living. lol
