Have you ever wanted to make a Double Wedding Ring Quilt? Well here is your chance!!!
My friend Victoria, asked me to be part of this blog hop and I have also partnered with EZ Quilting for this challenge!!
First before we get into the challenge let me show you what I have done so far.
I decided to make a three ring quilt as a table runner. It is not joined together yet because I need to switch around 4 of the little squares so they alternate. But once I do that, I am home free.
As many of you know, I LOVE Kaffe Fassett fabrics so much, I had to use them for this little project.
I bet you want to hear the rules?
The NYC MOD quilters are excited to announce the Double Wedding Ring Quilt Challenge!
Don’t be afraid of the Double wedding Ring! This is a challenge to learn a new skill, try new techniques and let your creative exploration shine through on this traditional pattern!
This is a challenge FOR EVERYONE, All quilters… of any style from Anywhere! This is an international challenge.
Please note : in each category, a quilt must be made of three layers and bound. To get your creative juices flowing, The Quilt Alliance (one of our generous Sponsors) has put together a PINTEREST page with examples of Double Wedding Ring quilts included in their Quilt Index. Feel Free to pin Double Wedding Ring quilts.
Categories
SMALL: ONE RING! Easy! size: under 20″ or smaller… This is a great way to play and learn your curves, and try your own version of making this fun design!
TRADITIONAL: 4 rings or larger… Make the traditional double wedding pattern by using the template and your choice of fabrics…not straying to far from the traditional style. Four rings or larger for this category… must have three layers and bound.
MODERN: 4 rings or larger… ANYTHING GOES! How can you interpret the double wedding ring, put a MODERN spin on a traditional design? Piece it, applique, fuse, whole cloth? Possibilities are ENDLESS!!! No rules other then, it must have three layers and bound.

A double Wedding Ring quilt is on my bucket list. Thanks for the chance to win these templates.
I've always wanted to make a DWR but with so many pieces involved, a whole quilt seemed impossible. With these templates, I see it as doable. I would love to make the tablerunner.

This quilt project has been on my bucket list for a few years! You might make me take the plunge...especially if I win the templates!
I've made two DWRs. A one ring wall hanging and a nine ring one. They were from FPPed components. These templates would be interesting to use.
I have liked Canton on Facebook.
Jackie I am already a fan of yours ,but would love to try the three ring runner. Thanks for a chance.
I also love Kaffe Fassett fabrics and what a wonderful way to use them, so different from what is expected. Would love to give it a go. Thank you for this opportunity.

I would love to have a go at this!!My fabric choice would be either Kaffe Fassett fabrics or my huge stash of batiks!
OMG! I would love to win these templates. I made a king-sized DWR quilt many years ago. I would like to make another, but not with that old, old, method. Thanks for the chance.
Would love to win these templates, as I am wading around in the fabric pool, auditioning for what will be my entry.
Like you on Facebook!
I might give this a try if I had some templates... hint, hint.

Very cute table runner. I definitely have a DWR project on my wish list but I'm a bit afraid of the task. The EZ rulers/templates sound like they are the way to go.
Way cute! Ive never made a wedding ring quilt!

I'm now an official follower! Thought I had clicked before but in any case I'm often coming to your blog as there are so many links to it from other blogs! Always fun. Thanks for putting my name in the hat for this drawing.
DMR is the first quilting design to catch my eye. I saw with yellow background and red rings - so pretty. Would be fun to make one now - I'd start with a pillow I think! The templates would help, that's for sure. Thanks for putting my name in the hat for the drawing!
I'd love to win these!
I'm hoping to join in the challenge...I'd love to win the templates giveaway, I bet they make cutting quicker!
I have never made any curved quilt blocks, but I'd love to give the DWR a try. Thanks for the giveaway :-)

Dwr looks hard, do I dare try it?
I like you on FB
Jackie,
I have made a DWR quilt but not for a long time. Perhaps I will try it again - it is so much easier with the acrylic templates - you can cut so much more accurately.
Thanks for participating in the hop, for your generation donation to the challenge and for all the wonderful contributions you make to quilting.
Regards from Alberta,
Anna
A ruler would keep me lined up
Love the DWR, maybe I am a lucky winner :-)
