This is a great giveaway! I’ve only admired wedding ring quilts from far, not daring to try to make one myself. It does look like this tool would make it easy.
My grandmother always did Double wedding Ring Quilts. I thought it must be nothing to do. Now that I am getting into quilting, I’m thinking “how did she do that!?”
I would love to win this to do Doubel Wedding Rings like grandma, but with such helpful tools!
*hugs*

I would love to have one of these tools. I did a double wedding ring quilt for my daughter’s wedding two years ago cut each and every piece by hand….. a lot of work but it was beautiful in the end. This tool would make it so much easier. Hope I win, still have a couple more daughters to be married yet. lol
Would love to win the templates, I’d would love a wedding ring quilt!!
What a great prize!!! Like the others, I admire the pattern, but am apprehensive about tackling it. Tools to help make it easier are a blessing.

Always love new ways to make a DW!

Like you, I don’t know if I can make an entire quilt…WR seems too difficult for my level, but if these rulers were mine, I would at least attempt a table topper….I do love the design. Anything to make things easier!
Please add my name to thee list, I love giveaways.

On my list of quilt to make in this lifetime is a DWR, and this might be the tool that will allow me to do that.
I’ve wanted to make a double wedding ring quilt since we got married – this might give me the support to make it for our silver wedding anniversary – please?!
…I did not even know what a double wedding ring quilt was… but now I know… and I would really LOVE to try… using the ruler set maby I could do it…

A Double Wedding Ring quilt is on my someday wish list also. I so enjoy Darlene Zimmerman’s tools, patterns and fabric.
oh wow! I’ve been collecting fabrics to make a double wedding ring quilt since I got married in 2006 and still haven’t made it because I’ve been afraid of not having a template to cut from. Maybe I’ll be able to make one for our 4th anniversary? Please??!! Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

.-= Anita’s latest post: SBS wordt doorgequilt =-.
I’m in! What a wonderful tool! This has been on my wish list for years!
What a neat idea. I admire this pattern, but curves are not my forte. No promises for a queen sized quilt, (at first) but I’d certainly make a table runner or throw with this ruler, and share it with my group “The Piecemakers”

I have never made a double wedding ring quilt but I would love to give it a try.
My very first quilt was a Grandmothers Flowers Garden quilt…all handpieced and hand quilted. I never made another handpieced quilt, because it took way too long to finish. I will be so happy to have this tool! This will be so much faster to cut the pieces and to finish the quilt.

I have always loved and wanted to do a double wedding ring quilt. BUT, I have been a chicken to do it. Maybe, it’s time to just “go for it”! I think the tool is very cool and would be very useful with this beautiful quilt.
Cool – I’ve just started my first double wedding ring wall hanging and I’d love to try out this tool!

I have always, always wanted to do a double wedding ring, but was too afraid! I could so do it if I had one of these!
.-= amy’s latest post: Relapse =-.
Always admired this quilt pattern but was intimidated by its complexity. Have even been collecting reproduction fabrics to make one. This special ruler seems to be the trick for success!!
Wonderfull chance. I’ll try to win. thank you

Great tool! I love Friday!
I love reading your posts even though I am in Washington State. The world of quilting opens up to all of us and allow us to share so much. Double wedding ring is one of my favorite patterns but always seemed too complicated for me to cut out. This would help so much.
What fun! My daughter and my son both married in the last year — a wedding ring ruler would be quite a handy tool right about now! :)
