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.

My, oh my! So many comments….glad to see the word spreading far and wide.
I am getting more and more tempted to buy the DWR but there is the NYB 2 as well…thanks Linda and her faithful helper Monkey for all the eye candy and keeping us inspired.
Wow. I’ve always been intrigued by the DWR and would love to win your package. I keep meaning to try out the inklingo method.
Wow, what amazing designs! Thanks for all of the inspiration, and the chance to win your Inklingo set! WOW!
I have always wanted to learn to hand piece a dwr quilt but always thought it would be too hard. This looks like maybe now I can.
Wow! How cool is that! Love your designs they give me the courage to try curved seams!
Very interesting technique. Would love to give it a go.l
This has been on my list for a while now…just might be the thing to get me sewing on it!
What a lovely idea to have a drawing for this quilt. I made one for my parents years ago – tracing out each piece (excruciatingly!) by hand. This makes me want to make another one, which I swore I would never do! Thank you!
I have always wanted to make a DWR quilt. This looks like the best way to do it.
This would be the only way to make the Double Wedding Ring Quilt, using Inklingo.
This is a great collection! It is just beautiful! Would love to be a winner.
Love it!
I’m so excited over the latest DWR designs – just jaw dropping…. keeping my fingers crossed…. Been putting this one on the back burner for years – thanks for the inspiration Linda …. Inklingo is just the best, fastest, and easiest way to complete – what I’ve always read – is considered an advanced level quilt.
Hi Linda – I just added the link to the giveaway on my blog. I am stopping by to leave a comment because I could always use a $40 gift certificate – since I am an Inklingo addict!!
I’ve wanted to try hand piecing for such a long time! This method is so precise and I love the idea of minimal fabric wastage. Thank you so much for the free downloads. I know what I’ll be doing for the next few evenings 🙂
This is awesome. Thxs for an opportunity to win.
Hello Linda
Your creativity is amazing. I love the DWR on point.. I don’t think I would make a full size quilt but a wall hanging would be fun.
Karen
Oh, Linda…how you and Monkey spoil us…your designs make it so easy for us to follow and to make really difficult quilts so easy…thank you for all that you do for us…and now DWR??!!…amazing….

Your DWR designs are gorgeous!!! I just finished a Judy Neimeyer DWR for my son’s wedding. I hate tearing all the paper off. Having the design printed on the fabric would’ve made it so much easier. I’m excited to start trying Inklingo!
would love to win thank you
Although I may have heard the name of Inklingo before, I had no idea what it was until today when I was reading my EQ newsletter which led me to the website and your blog. Fascinating! Now I can’t wait to explore more. Such a wonderful creation. And of course it wouldn’t hurt to have a headstart by winning the drawing.
Blossoms in Niagra is stunning. I am looking at fabric to make this stunning quilt for my bed this summer.
I have been looking at your product for some time and wanting to make the double wedding ring quilt for my married sons. Thanks for the chance to win and the push for me to get started.
Thanks for the contest. There will be a very lucky winner. Love the DWR design. Sounds like a great way to make one.
Your DWR designs all look great. Now I want to make a DWR myself. Just for me. Thanks for the chance to win.
OMG I have done Judy Neimeyer’s Bali Star and I am up for this. I hate peeling the paper. I have a wedding quilt to make and this may just be the ticket.
I just about didn’t enter the contest because I thought I already had it. I can’t believe that I don’t. After seeing all the wonderful ideas whether I win or not I will be getting it. Thanks for all of the Inklingo designs and ideas. I will never live long enough to make all the quilts that I like.
I’d love to win this and make a Double Wedding Ring quilt.
Don’t you just love it when nature inspires you to be creative? Sometimes leaves you to wonder how one brain can hold so many ideas… Keep up the great work Linda, you manage to inspire and intrigue so many people…
I have always loved the Double Weddung Ring, but these are just beautiful. I will need to make Blossoms in Niagara. Thank you so much for so many ideas.
LOVe your work, I must run over and subscribe now!
I love the double wedding ring quilt, and all your variations and color choices! Just gorgeous!!!!
just love it
I agree with you – the on point settings are much more interesting!
thanks
Thank you for the chance to win this fabulous collectin!
Love the double wedding ring. Love Niagra Falls!
This looks like it would be an easy way to do a double wedding ring quilt. I have always loved the pattern, but have been afraid to try it.
Linda,
I’ve been a fan for so long, this just adds another layer. I still watch your hand piecing dvd, it’s one of my favorites. With Inklingo, you’ve made it so easy for everyone to complete quilts they would never have attempted otherwise. Thank you for all your hard work!!
I haven’t used your technique as yet, however, I would like to! Pick me! I really like Monkey.
Wow – these are amazing. I can’t wait to try this new technique. Always learning new ways to make beautiful quilts.
Faith
This looks like the best way to make a DWR. My son is getting married on Saturday The 12th. Though I don’t plan on tring to make it by then. But I may get one done for their 5th anniversary LOL.
Cheryl M.
Great concept – can’t wait to try it!
WOW! who’d thought!! and so many designs . . .that is beautiful! And the combinations too . . . amazing. Just added to my list of things to make in this lifetime 🙂
Love the idea of making a DWR using inklingo. Have heard so much about it but have not tried it yet. Thank you for the chance to win.
Wow! I’ve never used Inklingo, but I’ve read about it, and thought about how great it would be to use… Now with a chance to win,… I can hardly think of all the possibilities!! Thanks for giving us a chance!! I really appreciate it!
This looks great. If I am not the lucky winner I think I’ll have to buy this.
Oh, drool! DWR has been on my list since before I was even a quilter! I had hoped to receive one when I got married and actually said at that time, “If I want one I guess I’ll have to make one.” Perhaps I’ll get that little push to do it properly now!
