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.

I’m always looking for something new to try and this looks like precise fun! Can’t wait to get started!
I would love to win the Double Wedding Ring inklingo. I sarted for the first time using inkling last week. I’m making the drunkard Path, and just love it. Found your site from Bonnie Hunter who I read every Day
DWR is on the list. It would be the perfect pattern to get to try inklingo! Thanks for opportunity
I have always admired the wedding ring quilts and would like to make one, but was intimidated with all the pieces. I had never seen all the variations that could be done…now I really love it! And, with these templates, I might actually DO it!
Hi,
I have been quilting for only 10 years, but have yet to make a Double Wedding Ring Quilt. I have ALWAYS LOVED Them, but been afraid to try to make one. I would love to try with Inklingo……it looks fasinating. My niece is getting married next summer, & I would love to make her one of these quilts.I would love to win!
Thank you very much for the chance!

I took up quilting hoping to some day that I would make a Double Wedding Ring quilt…ten years later I still have not made one, so this would be a GREAT opportunity for me to get one made! Thanks for this chance!
Wow–what great samples you have made to show the dwr. Have never tried Inklingo but seems like a fantastic idea. Would love to win. thanks for the chance.
I love the double wedding ring quilt designs I have 3 daughters I want to make a quilt for and with all the different designs yet the same quilt this would be perfect and to do in inklingo priceless.I would love to win this set.
Thank you
I would love to win this set. I want to make a double wedding ring quilt for my grandson for his wedding.

Thank you for the chance to win the DWR set. I arrived here via Bonnie Hunter’s site and am intrigued by your product… might be easier than paper-piecing!
I just purchased the Inklingo 1″ hexagons and love it! Way better than English paper piecing. I’d like to try other patterns as well.
I love these! I am going to make one someday! 🙂
I’ve always wanted to do a DWR and your Inklingo makes it look do-able! Thanks for offering the pattern. Came here via Bonnie Hunter.
I have always wanted to make a double wedding ring quilt! But definatley feel intimidated! I would love to try making one with Inklingo!
Thank you for offering the free give away, I wish everyone the best of luck in win ing!

Thanks for including me in your giveaway. I would love to try the DWR. I am always afraid of starting a big project like that.
I would love to win, i love the double wedding ring! Thank-you for the chance.
I love the DWR pattern and have long wanted to attempt one. This may be the solution for me to get off the fence. That would be great! Always read your blog Linda and admire your talent.
Oh, if only there were more time!! The ideas are endless! Beautiful designs.
I would love to try your products! It looks pretty cool!
Have made the Inklingo Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses quilt and now would love to try more Inklingo patterns and especially the Wedding Ring quilt. Inklingo is the best way of makiing small and other templets for large quilts with small pieces. I for one love the Inklingo process….
I have always loved curved designs the most and was hesitant to try them because I am a novice sewer. However, I have tried the free collection and was so excited with it because it went together so beautifully. Your instructions (when I take the time to look at them and read them) are very detailed and cover everything. You are so helpful and encouraging and I love looking forward to updates from you. I look forward to trying DWR and the NYB as you’ve gifted us with incredible ease to do these more advanced patterns. Thank you so very much!
Nancy M
This is so cool – I’ve never heard of this before! Thanks for the giveaway! I want to make a DWR but I’m too scared of it – this might work for me! LOL!
Thanks for the chance to win a dwr inklingo, I have been intrigued with how inklingo works!
Mary
I hope I win, this sounds great! Thanks for the giveaway!
Thanks for the giveaway. I would not try the Double Wedding Ring without Inklingo in my hands. Sure hope I win this.
I have been wanting this collection so badly. Linda, you always give us so much extra, too. All those layouts are wonderful, but I am really partial to the Niagra Falls-inspired one. I hope I win!!!
Love the free drawing, wedding ring quilt, but I love your new one New York Beauty. Your product sounds great. Thanks
I love your DWR layouts Linda! I could picture one sitting on top on my bed… Michelle
I love all the possibilities that you show. I wouldn’t have guessed that DWR would work up so great in other settings.
Colleen
This would be great to make a red and white quilt for my quilt groups challenge! Still enough time to make it with Inklingo to help! Susan
OOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!
Pick me, pick me!!!!!
Love,
Frummie
I love Double Wedding Ring quilts but have never thought of making one since it seems so complete. With Inklingo it seems like it just might be doable.
Oh, how delighted I would be to win the DWR. I have always been leary because of so many pieces. I have never tried Inklingo, but, this would be my chance to learn and have one of the breathtaking settings you have pictured.
Janet
love the dwr, that is on my list for when I have time and this seems to be the way to go. I would love to try your system.
I would love a chance to win. A DWR is on my bucket list and this seems to be the way to accomplish it.
I am VERY intrigued by Inklingo since discovering it by accident about a week ago. I am HOPING to make a double wedding ring quilt for my daughter’s wedding, to be used first as a wedding huppah as her fiancé is Jewish. Luckily, she intends to finish grad school first so they hope to marry two years from now. It would be wonderful to win the DWR collection! Linda, I love the inspiring layouts you have done!
Linda and Monkey,
I would be thrilled to win a copy of your DWR. The collections I have are wonderful and I would love to add to them.Thank you for the chance to win.
What a terrific idea! Love to win the Double Wedding ring with Inklingo! Never seen your sight before. Also love the NYB!
Aileen
I haven’t tried Inklingo yet but have always wanted to make a wedding ring quilt. Inklingo would be a fun way to start one!
Great ideas. DWR is on my bucket list to make. This might just move Dwr to the top of that list!
Wow- I had never thought about using the DWR as a border on a quilt! Thanks Linda 🙂 Good luck to everyone!
What an awesome and easy way to make a Double Wedding Ring. Even if I’m not lucky enough to win, I’ll still order this!!! Great going, Linda!
I’ve always wanted to make a double wedding ring. I think this might be the way for me to do it!
Would love to try this, always been a little intimidated by it. You have made it look possible.
Thanks for the chance.
