Which Pattern Is Right For Your Wedding Ring Quilt?

By Jane Green


Ambition is a superb thing, it's what drives people to the lofty heights of distinction. If you're having a look at making a wedding ring quilt, then you certainly have ambition. This type of quilt isn't something you enter into lightly. While it is a pattern, it can be a tough one to get right the 1st time. As someone that admires aspiration, I have put together a guide to help with the pattern your next wedding themed quilt:

Diamond Pattern

This pattern has a deceptive name. Even though it does form the shapes of diamonds, there aren't any ring shapes that are truly outlined in this one. The effect is still amazing, it reminds me of a kaleidoscope. The center of the patterns typically have stars which join up to make the arms of other stars. This is an easier design that has a complex effect. This is a fairly engaging patter.

Double Pattern

The most commonly seen, and by accident one of the more complicated, patterns is the double wedding ring pattern. This is a stunning pattern where each ring has the perimeters of four rings overlapping. When put side-by-side, this pattern actually comes into its own, achieving a striking effect of a collection of easily interlocking rings across the quilt. It's straightforward to understand why so many people select this design for a wedding ring quilt.

Drunkard's Path Pattern

This is quite an engaging pattern, one that is not unusual among many wedding ring quilts. This is a floral design that uses different shapes to achieve its effect. The layout of this design is essentially a giant square with a circle in the middle and a semi-circle on each of the outside edges of the square. While easy to explain and create, the overall effect really appears more intricate than it basically is. This is a great design as it is complicated with a real simplicity of creation.

So there you have it, three different and unique designs to make a choice from, each with their own effects and levels of difficulty. Now it should be straightforward to select the right one for you.

Good Luck and Happy Quilting!
