Aspiration is an excellent thing, it's what drives people to the lofty heights of greatness. If you are looking at making a wedding ring quilt, then you actually have aspiration. This sort of quilt is not something that you enter into gently. While it's a pattern, it could be a troublesome one to get right the first time. As someone who admires ambition, I have put together a guide to help you with the pattern your next wedding themed quilt:
Diamond Pattern
This pattern has a deceptive name. While it does form the shapes of diamonds, there are no ring shapes that are actually outlined in this one. The effect is still wonderful, it is reminiscent of a kaleidoscope. The centre of the patterns usually have stars which join up to make the arms of other stars. This is a simpler design that's got a complicated effect. This is a very interesting patter.
Double Pattern
The most typically seen, and by coincidence one of the more complex, patterns is the double wedding ring pattern. This is an attractive pattern where each ring has the sides of 4 rings overlapping. When put side by side, this pattern really comes into its own, achieving a striking effect of a sequence of seamlessly interlocking rings across the quilt. It's easy to grasp why so many people choose 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!
