Wednesday Tute 14 – DWR and Pickle Dish

We discussed edge treatments for Double Wedding Ring Quilts in Wednesday Tute 11. This tute focuses on the arcs for Double Wedding Ring.

Double Wedding Ring Challenge

A few Inklingo quilters are creating designs for the NYC Mod Quilter’s Double Wedding Ring Challenge.

October 2022 – Several Inklingo quilters entered quilts in the contest in 2013. The links to the info about the contest are out of date, so I am deleting links and other outdated info.

Double Wedding Ring Arcs

If you are doing something interesting with the centers or the edges, you might want to keep the arcs as simple as possible.

It can also be a great look for a Modern Quilt like Victoria Findlay Wolfe’s Double Edged Love Quilt. It won Best in Show at QuiltCon and is featured in Quilter’s Newsletter August/September 2013/No. 435.

Inklingo Double Wedding Ring Arc

The arc with one piece and two ends can be very effective too.

The placement of color can put all of the emphasis on the arc ends, so your Double Wedding Ring has flowers.

There are a few examples like this in the 50 Double Wedding Ring Designs video on YouTube.

arc-4-plus-ends-a

This arc has 4 Pieces plus ends. It is a very traditional Double Wedding Ring option.

The colors are often shaded from one end to the other. It can also be totally scrappy.

Inklingo is great for printing on scraps or Jelly Rolls. (Top 10 Tutes)

arc-8-plus-ends-a

This arc has 8 Pieces plus the ends. It is not as complicated as you might imagine.

When every piece is the perfect size with the perfect angles, you can do anything.

arc-5-plus-ends-a
This arc has 5 pieces plus ends. It is less common, but not difficult when you print the shapes on fabric with Inklingo.

It is a great way to get a symmetrical arc.

arc-7-plus-ends-a

This combination has 7 pieces plus the arc ends.

It can be used for symmetrical color placement and a modern stripe-y look.

If you are entering the NYC Mod Quilters Double Wedding Ring Challenge, Pickle Dish is one of the options open to you.

It is Inklingo-able too.

Inklingo Continuous Stitching

Pickle Dish arcs make a perfect portable hand piecing project with lots and lots of continuous stitching.

At the end of every seam, you can turn a corner and continue without breaking the thread.

Print Pickle Dish shapes on fabric

When you print Pickle Dish shapes on fabric, it is a neat design for “hybrid” piecing—combining hand and machine sewing in the same quilt.

You might want to sew all of the arcs by hand because they are so much fun for continuous piecing and then assemble the rest of the quilt top by machine.  There are complete instructions in the Inklingo Double Wedding Ring Design Book.

If you start with the Design Book ($10), it is refunded when you buy the shapes to print on fabric.

It is traditional to make all of the arcs the same, but you can mix and match in your design.

  1. I’m considering giving the pickle dish a go all via machine if possible. Being as I’m unable (currently) to hand piece this is the only option available to me. I’ve made blocks for the pickle dish by hand so I know it’s not impossible, likely requiring some extra careful skill applying the arcs. Thinking out loud here before I give it a go. What do you think about entirely machine piecing? Sometimes we don’t know unless we try but any input you might have would be welcomed.
