A Chance to Win and 5 TIPS!
How about a little more fun with Double Wedding Ring?
And a chance to win the shape collection? OR a $40 Inklingo Gift Certificate?
You don’t have to be an expert quilter with a ton of patience to sew DWR anymore. Just print the shapes on fabric with Inklingo!
Today there are more Double Wedding Ring Quilt designs to inspire you and 5 tips to help you sew one.
This design has arcs with 8 pieces (plus ends). Impressive!
TIP 1 Use the unique pressing guide in the Double Wedding Ring Design Book to press the seams in the right direction—and to check the size of the arcs!
This is the same design with a few little tweaks. Approx 52 x 52 inches.
ON-POINT SETTINGS
For me, the real magic happens when the blocks are turned on point.
This design is about 72 x 72. Wouldn’t it look lovely on a bed with another row of DWR all the way around (96 x 96)?
TIP 2Â Use the worksheets in the Double Wedding Ring Design Book OR the Double Wedding Ring Electric Quilt project file to find the finished size of your design.
Double Wedding Ring Quilts with an on-point design can be finished with a straight edge.
TIP 3 This half center is provided in two Inklingo layouts to print on fabric. Print the one with straight grain on the long side if you are using it on the outside edge of the quilt.
On-point with a medallion effect. Having a variety of centers with appropriate straight grain makes it possible.
This one uses the half center with straight grain on the long side.
TIP 4 You can put a Double Wedding Ring Border on any quilt! Had you thought of that?
All of the arcs in this one are identical, but . . .
. . .you can use more than one kind of arc in each quilt. So many choices!
I went with Russ to Niagara Falls NY yesterday to mail book orders. It was the perfect day to walk in Niagara-on-the-Lake too—without the weekend crowds. The spring flowers and blossoms are glorious right now. I came home inspired to try one more design.
I’ll call this one Blossoms in Niagara on the Lake.
If you compare these designs with those in the two previous messages, you will see why I love on-point settings so much.
TIP 5 You can have 7 pieces (plus ends) in each arc by using two different sizes. That’s what I did for my blossoms design.

This is one I’d like to make someday. Thanks for the info and the giveaway!
What a great contest and even better than that is your method for doing the Double Wedding Ring. I guess I never thought about all the ways that you can arrange the colors to get different designs in the finished top. You are so creative!
I would love to make a DWR quilt, Inklingo looks like a wonderful product and the way to go, thanks for the chance of a freebie. Bonnie sent me too. 🙂
Hi Blogless me! You weren’t a “download failure” when you first opened Inklingo almost exactly 3 years ago, so I have hope for you! I have sent the download instructions to you, but if you have any questions, please ask. There is always a simple answer. Be sure to use Adobe Reader, not another PDF viewer. (That is the most common mistake.)
These are lovely. I would love to win this to try my hand at making a DWR quilt.
Linda you are so creative. Your designs are very inspiring. Where to start?
I love the idea of setting a DWR on point! I think if I win I’ll again give downloading inklingo a try – I’ve never succeeded until now to download and open the free trial files :-(. I must really be a total “download failure”.
That’s a great idea to use the different size pieces in the arcs! That’s going to open up all sorts of possibilities… 😀
I have an unfinished DWR quilt in my studio (black background and beautiful batiks) but would not mind having another one to do. It will all get done someday. Your techniques with different patterns, etc. are so interesting to me, would like to try. Bonnie Hunter sent me and thank you for the chance to win!
OOh I would love to win! What beautiful designs!

Haven’t tried Inklingo yet but oh I want to!! It’s on my list of things I must get. My daughter wants a double wedding ring quilt and I’ve been afraid to try it. Chances of success would be so much greater with Inklikngo.
made a double wedding ring years ago, this looks so easy I could make another. Love the variations!
I would love a chance to win another Inklingo product. The DWR designs you have shown us, Linda, are so inspiring. Makes my mouth water just looking at them. Thanks for the opportunity.
oh, so a great gift to win, will be wonderful. and the DWR is such a long time on my list. hope I have a little chance, , wish you a wonderful time.

Oh My God! Just what I’ve been looking for. If you check my blog you will find that I’m looking for the best method to make a double wedding ring. please Mr. Random choose my number,please!
Love the DWR pattern. I especially like the half background blocks. The designs are absolutely lovely.
Your creations are gorgeous! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Bonnie sent me! I’d love to win Inklingo prizes. This is so exciting! Thanks for a great giveaway. 🙂
I made a double wedding ring that took me about 3 years to finish, I would like to try your technique for either that or a pickle dish! Please enter my name in the contest. Thank you, Pat
I have never tried Inklingo before. An easy method for Double Wedding Ring may entice me to start!
Thanks for the chance to win. The versatility of this pattern is great.
I love the DWR pattern, this would make the process so much easier than traditional methods.
This set would cause me to actually make a DWR. Love all the varieties you show.
DWR is on my quilt list–I’m pretty sure this is about the only way I’d actually get one finished though!
I sewed a king size double wedding ring and hand quilted it years ago. I thought I would never want to make another, but your system is making me think there could be an easier way. I’d love to try it.
OOOO! I think I could actually succeed at a Double Wedding Ring this way! What a great idea!!
Oh, I would love to try this. Sounds great. What a wonderful quilt!
I have been reading about your products and have been wanting to try them out. Thanks for the chance!
Wow, I’ve always wanted to do a DWR quilt but it looks so intimidating. Your process makes it look if not easy, certainly doable.
Thanks for the chance to win.

I’d love to try a double wedding ring quilt with the help of Inklingo. Thanks for a chance to win.
Would love to do a double wedding ring quilt. I will definitely need your help.
Thank you for the giveaway.

Oh My! This is so beautiful. Love the double wedding ring, but haven’t gotten the courage to do it ….yet. lol
Thanks
Gail
Just downloaded the tiny totes. I am so anxious to try it. The double wedding ring looks great and something I could do! Thanks Melissa
Ahhh, how nice. If I could do it the inklingo way, I could actually make a double wedding ring quilt.
A easier way to make dwr is always appreciated. Plus the marvelous settings.
I haven’t tried Inklingo yet. Looks interesting though.
WOW, what a fabulous way to do a DWR. Of course, this quilt has been on my to-do list for a loooooong time. Would love to win! Thanks for the opportunity.
Take care,
Karen
Trying Inklingo is on my to-do list! Thanks for the giveaway!
I’ve just come across your site and your methods look easy to do. It would be wonderful to win this pattern to give it a try. Your other patterns that you have “played” with on the DWR are interesting as well.

My grandmother made a DWR for me and it was the last quilt she ever made. It has seen its better days and I have been contemplating making one. Thanks for such great inspiration and instruction. Thanks for the giveaway!
Thanks for letting Bonnie Hunter know about this. I have always loved the double wedding ring design and hope to complete a quilt for my bed at some point in the future.
I’m so glad you learned EQ7 so you can show us all these fabulous layouts for the different collections. These designs may just inspire me to attempt a DWR quilt.
Thanks, Linda for all you do…

Hi Linda,
Always good a give away. I like to win and find out how Inklingo works.
Thanks and greetings from the Netherlands, Dini
DWR is one of the quilts I have always dreamed of making someday, and Inklingo is definitely the best method for it I have seen!
I have about 3/4 of a DWR freezer paper paper pieced stashed away (ran out of background fabric and they don’t make that color any more). Maybe I’d have gotten it done in time to get the yard more if I’d had Inklingo for it. I’d love to win this one.
Great collection. I wish I had this available when I made the “great-grandmother of quilts”. It was started over 50 years ago. I finished it all by hand including the quilting. It took 4 years to do and came out great.
Linda you are so creative with the different settings. I would never have thought of making a wedding ring border. Just beautiful
I *do* like DWR quilts with the pointy edge, but I’m leaning more and more towards the blocks en pointe, and I don’t know why. 🙂 Specially I like the third variation you show, which I think, is the same design as ‘Blossoms in Niagara on the Lake’. That colorway *glows*.
(Almost I have enough money for a new printer so I will *finally* be able join the ranks!)

Amazing designs! I love Inklingo and “Double Wedding Ring” is a definite winner :-)))
I’m always amazed at the different layouts you show us for the same patterns. Inklingo really opens up so many different ways to use the same patterns or mix collections that I haven’t thought of! You are wonderful, and as much as I’d like to keep you all to myself I can’t help but spread the word as Inklingo is so amazing! People just don’t know what they are missing until they try it!
