It’s hard to believe I designed the original Double Ring Wedding Quilt almost 20 years ago for my brother and sister-in-law’s 50th wedding anniversary. It was a queen size whole cloth quilt. When Seams And Scissors’ editor asked me for a wedding quilt I decreased the size down to 14 1/2″ to be more usable for you quilters here at Seams. Now it is The Double Ring Wedding Quilt Block that is versatile enough to be used for different projects from pillows to any size quilt or wallhanging by creating multiple blocks. It is still a whole cloth for hand or machine quilting.
Blocks can be sewn together into a quilt top after marking each to be quilted traditionally or quilted individually then sewn together. If you would like to know more about this “quilt as you go method”, please let us know in our comment section.
Here is a 42″ x 28″ six block wall hanging:
To use The Double Ring Wedding Quilt Block download and print the pattern:
DOUBLE-RING-14-INCH-QUILT-BLOCK
Mark your fabrics. I used a #2 pencil-mark very lightly. There are marking pens that can be dabbed away with a damp cloth and one that disappears in 24 hours. There is no way this old gal marks with a 24 hour pencil-I might get pulled away from quilting and my pattern disappears. I am fond of the one that disappears with a damp cloth, however.
Pin baste top, batting, backing for quilting
Machine or hand quilt
Included in the pattern are templates to configure with monogramming if you want. Just choose a font you like from your computer or stencil. I liked the chunky block lettering that was easy to free motion quilt around.
The Double Ring Wedding Quilt Block can be customized with names and dates for weddings and anniversaries. The original Double Ring Quilt had the 50 years in the center oval. This will be a knock out remembrance even though it is fairly simple to do.
Happy Quilting!

It is a beautiful quilt and yes I would like more information, also can you tell me how to join the blocksCa
Hi Carol
there are a couple of ways to join the blocks. I didn’t put sashing between the blocks but that can be done for contrast if you want.
You can sew all the blocks together, then create the quilt “sandwich” with backing and batting and quilt which is the traditional technique.
Thank you for joining us here on Seams and Scissors
