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 2 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.

Another wedding in October! Should it be a DWR or Tennessee Waltz -either way it WILL be with Inklingo. And the center will be left blank for my traditional trapuntoed Feathered Heart with their new monogram. Can’t wait to get home to start.
Thank you for the chance to win the Double Wedding Ring set. They always look so intimidating.
I inherited a DW top, that I’m not sure can be quilted. many of the rings look like a D-cup they’re so poofy! 😀
Inklingo looks so much more friendly, and like the top would lay flat as long as I sew on the lines! 🙂
I’d love to make a DWR with Inklingo! Keeping my fingers crossed, hoping to win!
Would love to try to make a DWR and this looks like it would make it so much easier to do.
Linda, you are so creative and talented, it’s just incredible! Who knew there were so many ways to design a beautiful DWR quilt!!! 🙂
Love the double wedding ring on point.
What a fabulous way to improve piecing especially difficult quilts like the double wedding ring!! Thanks for the opportunity, it is very generous of you.
I’ve always wanted to try the DWR but thought it looked too difficult. I’ld love to win this design because Inklingo makes it look doable.
I love all your great ideas and especially the blossom quilt! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love this idea! It makes a challenging pattern seem less intimidating. Thanks for the opportunity to win. And, by the way, Bonnie sent me!
I LOVE Inklingo ~ and this is the only way I would attempt a DWR!
I have loved the Double Wedding Ring design from afar for a lot of years now, but never tried to make it myself. Your system seems like a very easy way to learn this pattern and come out perfect every time.

I didnt know about your site. Sounds great. Thanks for your giveaway.
I love Inklingo. Yesterday I visited the eqc show in the netheerland and I was really surprised how many people don’t know inklingo and they invented stamps to stamp the shapes on fabric. I though I’m a like person to know Inklingo.
I tried…., just tried to make a DWR, but was not satisfied with the shape of my rings… I like them “round” like the ones on your projects. It appears that I found the perfect method with you products…I am ready, then, to make a DWR quilt !! Thank you for giving me a chance to win your products.

Beautiful quilt ideas. Thanks for the chance to win.
Thanks for this! I have always wanted to make a double wedding ring and I think this would be a great way to do it. Found this link from Bonnie Hunter’s site.
Your pic of that glorious tree at Niagara was fabulous! And all your layouts for the DWR are amazing! I never thought to do that to the design, but I love all the variations you came up with! Awesome!
I found you from Bonnie’s site too. Your products are a great idea! Love them! I really am impressed by your ideas for DWR quilts. I never thought of them like that. Now I have a whole new way of looking at them! Please enter me in your drawing. Thank you!
This is such a great idea, I just found you via Bonnie and am eager to start printing pages. Your design ideas for DWR look so interesting, I’m unsure of which I will do, but I am sure I will be doing one now that I have the help of Inklingo.
This would be great to make a Double Wedding Ring quilt which I have always wanted to make. I was sent from Bonnie Hunters Quiltville. Thanks for the chance to win.
I am a fairly new quilter and the DWR has always looked too overwhelming for someone like myself. I think perhaps with this method even I might be able to do it. I especially love the Blossoms in Niagara. Beautiful!!
Thanks for the chance to win DWR Inklingo!
As always, a very generous giveaway. You do so much to enable quilters. I’d love a chance at these.
Caio!
I love the DWR.
Me me me pick me please!
Love, Love, the layouts for the Wedding Ring Quilt. I have subscribed to this website, but haven’t had a chance to try out yet. Love the hexagons also. Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville sent me over.
I’ve always loved the DWR, but never have tried it. I do believe the inspiration you have given us will make me push past the insecurity and go for it!!
Wow–every version is more beautiful than the one before it! I’ve never made a DWR but have always wanted to try. Thanks!

I’ll have to bookmark your website & try it out! I am horrible at cutting fabric. Hopefully this will help me lots!
Thank you for the opportunity to win! I think every quilter wants to make a DWR quilt.
I’ve never tried to DWR. It looks a little difficult.
I didn’t know you could do so much with DWR blocks
A Double Wedding Ring is on my quilt bucket list. I think Inklingo might be the way to go.
I have always said “I don’t do curves” … but have always coveted double wedding ring quilts … I think Inklingo might convert me …
I am ready to make the plunge; that is, convert from a paper piecer to an Inklingoist! Yes, I will start with Tilde’s 15 minute challenge; if nothing interferes, this will happen tomorrow!
This has always been one of my all-time favorite quilt patterns. It’s been on my bucket list forever. Maybe with InkLingo I could actually get one made…..
I have always wanted to make a DWR, especially now that my son is married. It would be great to have an easy way to make this quilt!
I’ve always been intimidated by the DWR but think I want to have a go at one eventually. This might make it possible! Thanks. I’m new to Inklingo and have downloaded the free items (thanks!). Hopefully I will have a chance to play soon! Real life and the day job can be so inconvenient at times!
Oh my.. DWR..I love the alternate settings..especially the second one at the top of the page…yummm!!!
I am obsessed with Inklingo these days and need the DWR too! What a fun giveaway, Linda! Count me IN!
I have always wanted to make the wedding ring, sounds like just the chance I need!!!
No, I actually had not ever considered DWR as a border on a quilt…but I certainly WILL from now on. I would be honored to be chosen as the winner. Thanks for sharing all of this!

My friend Barb is “obsessed” with inklingo and I’m ready to dive in! This sounds like a wonderful chance to get started!
Thanks for this opportunity to win – I would love to try a DWR quilt! InkLingo looks like a good method to use.
I love the Blossom design; it’s so wonderful! Here’s wishing that I could win the drawing.
Thanks,

I have started thinking about a 50th anniversary quilt for my parents. A DWR would be just the thing! Thanks for the chance to win this collection.
I have been researching options to make a DWR quilt for my husband for the occasion of our 50th anniversary in December 2013. What a great prize this would be!
This quilt is on my list to do, and thanks for the chance to win. I was going to make it paper pieced but your method would be quicker
I just love the DWR quilt design. Have high hopes to make one someday. I am sure Inklingo would make it so much easier. Thanks for so many ideas.
