After my husband left, I made a newer version. I didn't make all my rings join and I named it Broken Promises. Turned out beautiful. It makes me smile !
Love how You were able to turn it into a positive, that really shows great strength/healing, pretty awesome way to demonstrate not letting anything steal Your joy. Would love to see Your pattern. Well Done ;)
Bless your camera and lighting person for having the patience and skill to actually show us exactly what we need to see, as usual. It's one of the things that sets your tutorials apart from most others. That and your excellent instruction, Donna. Thank you.
I absolutely agree and was about to comment about the superb camera angles. It makes such a difference and is one of the reasons I always recommend Donna's tutorials to quilters. Simply the best!
@@maureentaphouse5206 You do know that Donna's camera man is her son. I would love to see Matt and Donna's children I have seen a daughter I think she does something on the computer , she looks like her Dad some.
This the first of your videos that I’ve watched and I agree absolutely about the camera work - what a difference it makes. I also love the fact that you point out the “not-so-perfects”, I find that encouraging. Thankyou.
I so agree, Winkie! Donna is superbly talented. I'm always drawn back to keep on watching her videos. The details, the close-up camera work, and Donna's very nice personality that comes across in the videos. Excellent work!
Hands down, the very best instructions and video on a Double Wedding Ring quilt I've ever seen in 35 years of quilting! Your cameraman deserves and Emmy! Thank you, Donna, I'm ready to take the plunge.
Beautiful!! I cried throughout this entire video. I got only 1 thing from my Grandmother before she died (almost 60 years ago), it was a Double Wedding Ring Quilt TOP. 16 years ago I entrusted it to a "QUILTER". Long story short, she stole my quilt top!!!! It makes me sick to my stomach, even today, when I think about the PRECIOUS MEMORY that she stole from me. I hope whomever gets this quilt will cherish it forever.
I just wanted to cry after watching this. The DWR has always seemed like an unattainable mystery, and now I feel that it's do-able! Thank you so much for posting this, and for the wonderful close-ups!
Of all the quilting tutorials I watch (and I watch a bunch), yours are by far the best! I'm excited about trying this double wedding ring quilt. Thank you for being such an excellent teacher!!!
My 'mamaw' made a double wedding ring quilt decades ago. When I saw it for the first time I begged her to let me have it. It took a few more years for her to decide to gift it to me. But forty years later I still have that beautiful quilt. It had pinks and blues in it. Simply gorgeous - and it was not machine quilted - she quilted the back and fronts together by hand!
Thank you for your honesty, and showing us that you make things not quite perfect, but say that's ok. That gives all of us watching the confidence to try, and know that if we make it not quite perfect that's ok for us too!
This really makes me appreciate how the old wedding quilts were made. Can you imagine doing this with newspaper patterns? Wow, we have come a long way! Thanks.
I have done these the old fashion way! And doing it that way, I discovered that hand piecing was the only way I was going to get it right! And I still do the quilting by hand! WHAT a lot of work hand piecing is!!! ACK!!! I just got a request for a double wedding ring quilt. I'm no fool....I just ordered this set! Pretty awesome! ;)
Donna I just love how you explain "how to", in a way that makes it sound easy and fills me with confidence. This one is going on my "to do" list. Each time your new video tutorial comes out I am filled with excitement!
Just rewatched this again to refresh my memory.you are such a great teacher.without your tutorials I don't think I would have started quilting.thank you so much
Gosh, Donna. What would we do without you? You make the hardest quilt understandable! I hadn’t watched this video on purpose because it made me nervous to think about! So silly, I know! But you actually give us hope.. thanks so much. And to your son for great camera work. Close up and clear!
Oh my goodness! I bought a completely handmade double wedding ring quilt on a trip to Virginia about 25 years ago. It was all hand stitched /hand quilted by an older lady who made quilts for extra income for her family. I have cherished that quilt all these years, but now, I have an entirely new respect for all of her hard work. As a brand new quilter, I can admit that I will probably never attempt this - even on a machine. Donna, your work is fantastic! I would love to see more easy, beginner quilts in your videos. Even some quilt-as-you-go type tutorials would be so helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us.
I have found peace in watching your videos. After fourth year of I have finding peaceful pleasure in quitting I just want to let you know how well you explain quilting from the beginning to the end yes I am new to quilting great jobs ❤
The stitching of the Wedding Ring quilt is a beautiful metaphor for how each person has to give little in any separation to form the perfect union in a lasting relationship. Never would have put that together before watching this video. Thank you!
You and your husband make a great team. You are the best quilting instructor on RUclips. Thank you for taking the time to go step by step with us. I’m actually not a quilter YET, but I’m learning so when the day comes, it won’t be foreign to me. I love your work and helpful tips and whoever is filming does a wonderful job of helping us see exactly what you are doing!!
Donna you are the Einstein of quilting. Your camera person went in so perfectly with the close shots so we can all see exactly what you are doing. What a beautiful quilt it has become. I don't know how you could ever let that quilt go. When you say "mines not that perfect" I want to laugh because everything you do is just perfect. Donna my question is how many times can I enter to be sure to win this quilt?????? 👍
I have found that once you enter for one quilt give away, you can't enter for another quilt down the road. I've tried to enter my name in for a few different quilt give-aways and I get a message that states "you have already entered". When in fact I have entered for one in some time.
I'm not really a quilter but I just LOVE these videos. I get many great tips for my other sewing, and watching Donna sew and teach is just so satisfying. I am clear on the opposite side of the country from Jordan, but if I ever get to the West coast, visiting there will be on my must-do list. Thanks Donna, Matt, and the whole Jordan team!
I am currently making this. I have struggled but will finish it for my step son and his wife. Thank you Donna for your wonderful videos and instructions.
The Double Wedding Ring quilt is my favorite quilt pattern. My mother made several of these quilts. Her pattern was a little different than this one. I think the small peices was smaller and I thing there was 9 of them. The end peices where a 4 square. It would take my mother several years to make one because she would make other quilt and keep the little piece pattern in her box when the fabric was to small to cut the pieces to the quilt she was working on she cut the little wedding ring piece. When I was about 16 she was making me one. However my mother needed a cookstove, and a friend said she trade her a stove for the quilt but mom said no it was mine. I told her to trade it and she could make me another one. Longer story short she finally did trade it and started another quilt for me however my mother didn't get finished before she died a few years later. I always said I would make one but I haven't. Mom quilts was all hand stitch and hand quilted. She quilted each side on every seam.
Thank you for this video, it was a very timely video. I just inherited a half finished double wedding ring quilt made with these template sets from a lady in our quilt guild who passed from cancer. I will be able to finish it with your help. ❤
Just beautiful. I would never have dared to tackle this but you’ve made it look doable. Thank you for all your fantastic tutorials, emails and free patterns ❤️
Donna you are a master teacher! You have inspired me to start cutting up scraps as I go to make my very own double wedding ring quilt. Something I never thought I could do. Thank you, thank you for your incredibly generous and expert content! Love, Love, Love your channel!
My sister tried to make a Double Wedding Ring quilt a number of years ago and ended up just tossing it in a bag without finishing it. She complained that the pattern was wrong because she could not get the pieces to match up and seeing this video, it is clear that she needed those little notches to help her get the perfect angle to match up the pieces. She passed away in 2013 before these wonderful templates were available. She used a paper pattern that she copied from a magazine. The shapes don’t really match up exactly as you sew them along the curve, they do angle somewhat so it all comes together at the end. This is an amazing teaching video. The tight close-up shots are so helpful in showing exactly what it should look like as you sew along. Amazing videography! And your commentary as you go along is so helpful and I love that yours is not totally perfect and you are ok with that. If yours is not totally perfect I will be happy with mine when it isn’t either. We are way too hard on ourselves, wanting everything to match up perfectly. You are such a great role model. Enjoy the process, rather than stress over it all. What a great way to approach it. Thank you so much for this. Will I make this......probably not yet. I’m not sure I can remain patient enough to work through it. I have a set of templates for the Drunkard’s Path and I think I will try that first to get ready. I’ll know more after I try that if I have the patience to do it. Happy Thanksgiving to your family and all of my quilting friends here on your site. Stay safe everyone!
A piece of advice I was given by someone who won awards for her quilts. Always make a test block or two before cutting up a quilts worth of fabric because printed patterns, particularly newspapers, are not always accurate. This is do to the printers trying to make the pattern fit the space they have to use. I made that mistake with an apple core block from an old KCStar pattern before I remember what she said.
@@jjudy5869 yes, my sister said that was the very last pattern she was going to make from a magazine without making a sample ever again. She said every time she made one from a magazine she had to scramble around to make it work and that it never looks like the quilt in the picture. She said they hurry to get it done and don’t do a good job of editing until they get complaints. She said books are better because they go through a much more rigorous process before printing to make sure everything is correct. I could see from the way Donna manipulated those pieces that my sister had no way of knowing (since the pattern didn’t say or show pictures) how to angle those little pieces so you end up with that perfectly curved piece, plus she pieced the curve and did not have the template. I wonder if I looked around through her stuff if I could find it a salvage it for her. Oh well.
Donna, you are definitely my favorite go-to on learning how to make quilts. You always make it look so easy. I've never sewed before and just started in June of this year. Since then I've made over 20 so far and thanks to you I've found my love in making quilts. After watching this video I know I'll be able to do this quilt now.
I am so glad I found you. I have watched many quilting tutorials and I still have trouble understanding. You have a way of explaining the procedure (and why) that it just makes sense. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I love the templates. The slits make it so easy to sew especially, if you're not use to sewing curves. I love Donna's tutorials-they are so easy to follow.
Your a wonderful teacher you make,me want to do these quilts I have always wanted to make a double wedding ring thakyou so very much for such excellent skill at teaching 😀
I got this set. This my favorite quilt pattern and I have tried other ways to no avail. I did a test square and whoa these are a game changer. I learned from this video. Thankyou. I got my set on Amazon!
I've always thought this was one of the most difficult patterns to make, but with these templates and your great tutorial I'm going to give it a try. Thank you - you guys are the best!!
I made a queen sized double wedding ring quilt after watching your video, using the Cutrite template rulers. It has 36 blocks and is made with Tilda fabrics. It is GORGEOUS!
You honestly made that look so easy! Still terrified of curves, not gonna lie. I also love the fact that you were honest about any slight imperfections you had while stitching 😊
My next project will be a double wedding ring. I have had templates and etc for 6+ years. Been afraid to tackle it. BUT you make it look so easy. I have done curves before but not with pieced curves. Wish me lucky💥💕 If successful, all credit will go to Donna for this wonderful tutorial 😂🤣
Wow Donna, your teaching style is so easy to understand. You make everything so doable. Everything is explained so well and nothing is rushed through. Thank you for your time and effort. This actually makes me think I can make a double wedding ring, which I have always wanted to but stayed away from because of all the curves and it was never explained well enough for me lol. This will be the perfect gift for my daughter who is getting married soon. Thanks again for the great tutorial. Love all your tutorials and your fabrics are fabulous!!!😊👍😊
I love the sounds when you are cutting. This quilt is beautiful, loved the original but the newer version is just stunning. The quilting brings it alive. I love the double Wedding Ring but I do not see this in my future current or farther down the road. I am intimidated by the curves, perhaps someday but I will not hold my breath. Thank you for all you do to inspire all quilters, new or seasoned.
Love this quilt! Have to admit when you were doing the curves, I had to hold my breath for a second, but when you were done, I blew a breath of relief 😅 love the way you talked it through. I felt like I was sewing with u. Another doable project. Thx Donna 😍
I have a double wedding ring quilt my grandmother gave me when I got married in 1975. I never realized how much work went into it. She did it all by hand. This is so much easier with the templates. Makes me appreciate the quilt that much more.
I'm two years late to the party! Donna, your instructions are fantastic. I've been reluctant to make a Double Wedding Ring, but you definitely make it look easy. I recently purchased the templates and today I've cut 576 wedge A pieces and sorted them. I still need to purchase the background and accents but am confident as long as I follow your tutorial all will work out. Thanks for all your great videos!
I'm just a beginner quilter. I am getting started with cushions. I make a lot of mistakes but, like you said HAVE FUN WITH IT and I do. Love you you are a genius thank you Jordan THANK YOU🐾🐾🤓Alicia
You really are a very good teacher. I started my DWR 15 years ago and got very discouraged. I believe I’ll pull it out of my project box and take another run at it. Your templates are MUCH nicer than what I had. Thanks for teaching us that it’s okay not to be “perfect” stitchers. Very real and very comfortable style.
Thank you, Donna and videophotographer. You are an amazing team. A double wedding ring quilt that I saw in a book about American Patchwork Quilting is what inspired me to try to become a quilter. I have completed a log cabin quilt, so I am not quite there yet.... I really appreciate these videos. I am thankful for you and your team who are willing to share your talents. I really am thankful for the people who help me with my orders from your store. All of you are just wonderful. Many blessings to you and yours for a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season!
I have always been afraid to do a double wedding ring but after watching the detail of how you made it, pointing to all the areas to watch for, I mow feel that I can make it. The templets and your tutorial have given me the confidence. Thank you for your clear instructions.
Did a lot of sewing my clothes in high school and college. ALWAYS hated setting in sleeves with those pesky curves. So I have always drooled over the Wedding ring Quilts, but have never wanted to attempt them. Thanks for the tutorial. I am putting this one on the list for the future, after I develop a lot more patience! Always love your tutorials. Your instructions are so very clear, and you enthusiasm inspires confidence. Many thanks.
I have just discovered your channel and I'm hooked. I have been scared of quilting (but have sewn quite a bit). I can totally do this with the tools and instruction. You are a magnificent instructor - and your camera work and lighting is perfect. I appreciate this so much!! I have subscribed! I will be attempting this soon!
It's true, Donna, you are simply the best quilting teacher on You Tube, and your camera work is perfection. Not only that, you are generous with what you have. Thank you. P.S. Absolutely love the old Concorde florals, which I still have in my stash!
Absolutely stunning! Wow! You really had your work cut out for you but nailed it beautifully. I love that it’s not perfect it makes it more special and shows homemade. Much love and prayers from Delaware ❤️🙏
I want to make one of these for my oldest grandchild who is getting married in June. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial! I have ordered the templates, and I just ordered a rotating cutting board! So excited to get started on this! I have now subscribed to your channel and I will be back, I'm sure!
Donna, I'm 73 y/o and since I was a young girl, I have always loved the DWR quilt and wanted to make one. When I first started quilting I tried my hand at it and guess I did ok, but I threw it away thinking it wasn't perfect. Thank you for giving everyone the confidence to make a dream come true. I can't wait to order the templates. Maybe Santa can bring me a set. lol Happy Holidays and stay safe and healthy.
So much information ,brilliantly displayed, the directions for easy to understand. Beautiful quilt. Thank you so much, for the how to . I've often wanted to do a double wedding ring, but couldn't figure out how to do it. You make it look easy. Fantastic job. Excellent!🥰
This quilt is gorgeous Donna and your teaching makes it so doable with your detailed instructions and the camera guy doing the closeups just at the right time is amazing. I’m still a beginner to intermediate quilter and you give me hope on trying curves. Happy quilting everyone 🙋♀️📏🧵✂️🇨🇦
I was excited when I saw that you were doing a Double Wedding Ring quilt, as I have one my grandma made for me and had dreams of making one of my own some day. However, it didn't take me long watching you working the curves to get that idea right out of my head. I have to say that YOU ARE FEARLESS!! This one goes into my FUTURE pile as my confidence level is far too low right now in comparison to yours. Congratulations on making another beautiful quilt. You're my quilting hero!
I must admit that I was quite fearful before starting! We had so many requests for this pattern, and I didn't think that I could show an easy way to stitch it, but I was wrong. I only stitched one practice curve to get the hang of it because the templates and slits make it so easy to stitch up!
after having the fabric at home for more than a year, i finally started on this huge project for a Queen size quilt. each das a piece. so Long so good!
Thank you Donna! I have been wanting to do this quilt; however, never felt I had the confidence or the courage! Thank you for taking the time to walk through it especially with this cool template! I am always learning new things with you! God Bless you and your family!
So. In. LOVE!!! With this quilt. Just a beginner, but I see the relationship between shape and lines. Just lovely to see it all come into being. Your hands are masters of the fabric. It's lovely to see their flow and guidance of it.
Donna, it is so nice of you to provide the alternate fabric requirements for no cost to us. Quilting is about sharing. You do that without charging for every little thing. We all appreciate that.
Donna, you go the extra mile when you teach so we can understand what to do! This is a Great video. Thank you so much! There should be an Academy award for this one!
Making a double wedding ring quilt is so much easier being a Seamstress first, before becoming a quilter. Easing in is a piece of cake for Seamstresses. Cant wait to make this.
@@adelinafernandez8405 Hola Adelina de Barcelona, yo soy nacida en Sevilla vivo en los Estados Unidos , Desde luego ella es maravillosa como explica todo con detalle.
As a seamstress I pin the bejesus out of curves. I understand quilters desire to get-er-done but the frustration a lot of quilters have with points not matching would go away with a few strategicly place pins.
Thank you for the great tutorials! And thank you to Matt for all the precision hand cut, it makes a world of difference. :) This quilt will be on my to do list for sure. Thanks!
Double Wedding Ring is one quilt I have always wanted to make but have been afraid of the curves. After your video I am more confident I can make it! Thanks for your video.
Fabulous! Thank you for showing us this achievable method. You’ve given me the confidence to try making a quilt for my daughter who’s had to postpone her wedding until next May. x
I am SO glad I watched you do this BEFORE I tried to tackle it myself! I love the pattern because it only has the 12 interlocked rings. I also plan to use the batik fabric focusing on their favorite colors of teal and purple. Thank you so much. XXOO
Hi how heavy is the weights yall use to keep everything from moving when cutting please..its a great idea but I want to be sure to buy a heavy enough one.thanks ao much
I received my templates today (Feb 8, 2021). I was impressed at how carefully they were packaged to make sure they arrived without any damage. Now I am anxious to work at my project. Thank you for all your great tutorials and inspiration.
Donna - you are the best teacher ever! I bought the template and watched your instructions, tried my hand at a block and it came out flat (not perfect, but good!). Now I have the confidence to make my daughter and her fiance a double wedding ring quilt...and I couldn't be more grateful to you for making it possible! :))))

Hi from south Africa 🇿🇦.. if only you could buy the quilt back from the other person...sad to hear your story
Thank you for this video, it was a very timely video. I just inherited a half finished double wedding ring quilt made with these template sets from a lady in our quilt guild who passed from cancer. I will be able to finish it with your help. ❤
Your tutorials are so clear and easy to understand. Big kudos to your sound, lighting and camera work - it's a pleasure to learn with you.
Hello how are you doing?
Hello
This is my dream quilt, I have wanted one of these for years, now I can make myself one. Thank you for all you I inspirational videos ❤
Just beautiful. I would never have dared to tackle this but you’ve made it look doable. Thank you for all your fantastic tutorials, emails and free patterns ❤️
Donna you are a master teacher! You have inspired me to start cutting up scraps as I go to make my very own double wedding ring quilt. Something I never thought I could do. Thank you, thank you for your incredibly generous and expert content! Love, Love, Love your channel!
My sister tried to make a Double Wedding Ring quilt a number of years ago and ended up just tossing it in a bag without finishing it. She complained that the pattern was wrong because she could not get the pieces to match up and seeing this video, it is clear that she needed those little notches to help her get the perfect angle to match up the pieces. She passed away in 2013 before these wonderful templates were available. She used a paper pattern that she copied from a magazine. The shapes don’t really match up exactly as you sew them along the curve, they do angle somewhat so it all comes together at the end. This is an amazing teaching video. The tight close-up shots are so helpful in showing exactly what it should look like as you sew along. Amazing videography! And your commentary as you go along is so helpful and I love that yours is not totally perfect and you are ok with that. If yours is not totally perfect I will be happy with mine when it isn’t either. We are way too hard on ourselves, wanting everything to match up perfectly. You are such a great role model. Enjoy the process, rather than stress over it all. What a great way to approach it. Thank you so much for this. Will I make this......probably not yet. I’m not sure I can remain patient enough to work through it. I have a set of templates for the Drunkard’s Path and I think I will try that first to get ready. I’ll know more after I try that if I have the patience to do it. Happy Thanksgiving to your family and all of my quilting friends here on your site. Stay safe everyone!
A piece of advice I was given by someone who won awards for her quilts. Always make a test block or two before cutting up a quilts worth of fabric because printed patterns, particularly newspapers, are not always accurate. This is do to the printers trying to make the pattern fit the space they have to use. I made that mistake with an apple core block from an old KCStar pattern before I remember what she said.
@@jjudy5869 yes, my sister said that was the very last pattern she was going to make from a magazine without making a sample ever again. She said every time she made one from a magazine she had to scramble around to make it work and that it never looks like the quilt in the picture. She said they hurry to get it done and don’t do a good job of editing until they get complaints. She said books are better because they go through a much more rigorous process before printing to make sure everything is correct. I could see from the way Donna manipulated those pieces that my sister had no way of knowing (since the pattern didn’t say or show pictures) how to angle those little pieces so you end up with that perfectly curved piece, plus she pieced the curve and did not have the template. I wonder if I looked around through her stuff if I could find it a salvage it for her. Oh well.
@@jjudy5869 What a wonderful tip!!!
Donna, you are definitely my favorite go-to on learning how to make quilts. You always make it look so easy. I've never sewed before and just started in June of this year. Since then I've made over 20 so far and thanks to you I've found my love in making quilts. After watching this video I know I'll be able to do this quilt now.
Hello how are you doing???
I am so glad I found you. I have watched many quilting tutorials and I still have trouble understanding.
You have a way of explaining the procedure (and why) that it just makes sense.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I love the templates. The slits make it so easy to sew especially, if you're not use to sewing curves. I love Donna's tutorials-they are so easy to follow.
Hello how are you doing?
Your a wonderful teacher you make,me want to do these quilts I have always wanted to make a double wedding ring thakyou so very much for such excellent skill at teaching 😀
I got this set. This my favorite quilt pattern and I have tried other ways to no avail. I did a test square and whoa these are a game changer. I learned from this video. Thankyou. I got my set on Amazon!
I've always thought this was one of the most difficult patterns to make, but with these templates and your great tutorial I'm going to give it a try. Thank you - you guys are the best!!
Donna you are an incredible teacher! I have been making quilts for years, but I still learn things from watching your videos. Judy House
I have always wanted to do a double wedding quilt but have been intimidated by it. You made that look so easy. Thank you
Hello how are you doing?
I made a queen sized double wedding ring quilt after watching your video, using the Cutrite template rulers. It has 36 blocks and is made with Tilda fabrics. It is GORGEOUS!
You honestly made that look so easy! Still terrified of curves, not gonna lie. I also love the fact that you were honest about any slight imperfections you had while stitching 😊
I was also dreading the curves, but after trying one I found that it was MUCH easier than I thought!
@@jordanfabrics8380 well you've inspired me to give it a go - I'll keep you posted on progress, ha!
My next project will be a double wedding ring. I have had templates and etc for 6+ years. Been afraid to tackle it. BUT you make it look so easy. I have done curves before but not with pieced curves. Wish me lucky💥💕
If successful, all credit will go to Donna for this wonderful tutorial
😂🤣
Wow Donna, your teaching style is so easy to understand. You make everything so doable. Everything is explained so well and nothing is rushed through. Thank you for your time and effort. This actually makes me think I can make a double wedding ring, which I have always wanted to but stayed away from because of all the curves and it was never explained well enough for me lol. This will be the perfect gift for my daughter who is getting married soon. Thanks again for the great tutorial. Love all your tutorials and your fabrics are fabulous!!!😊👍😊
I love the sounds when you are cutting. This quilt is beautiful, loved the original but the newer version is just stunning. The quilting brings it alive. I love the double Wedding Ring but I do not see this in my future current or farther down the road. I am intimidated by the curves, perhaps someday but I will not hold my breath. Thank you for all you do to inspire all quilters, new or seasoned.
Love this quilt! Have to admit when you were doing the curves, I had to hold my breath for a second, but when you were done, I blew a breath of relief 😅 love the way you talked it through. I felt like I was sewing with u. Another doable project. Thx Donna 😍
Watching your tutorials on this and Drunkard's Path gives me the confidence to do curves without fear
I have a double wedding ring quilt my grandmother gave me when I got married in 1975. I never realized how much work went into it. She did it all by hand. This is so much easier with the templates. Makes me appreciate the quilt that much more.
I'm two years late to the party! Donna, your instructions are fantastic. I've been reluctant to make a Double Wedding Ring, but you definitely make it look easy. I recently purchased the templates and today I've cut 576 wedge A pieces and sorted them. I still need to purchase the background and accents but am confident as long as I follow your tutorial all will work out. Thanks for all your great videos!
Donna, hats off to you. 💖 You make it as easy as sewing a 4 patch. Thas for another great video. 👏👏❤👏👏❤👏👏
I'm just a beginner quilter. I am getting started with cushions. I make a lot of mistakes but, like you said HAVE FUN WITH IT and I do. Love you you are a genius thank you Jordan THANK YOU🐾🐾🤓Alicia
You really are a very good teacher. I started my DWR 15 years ago and got very discouraged. I believe I’ll pull it out of my project box and take another run at it. Your templates are MUCH nicer than what I had. Thanks for teaching us that it’s okay not to be “perfect” stitchers. Very real and very comfortable style.
You are the BEST teacher!! Your patience, and explanations make everything seem so simple!! Thank you SO much!!
Thank you, Donna and videophotographer. You are an amazing team. A double wedding ring quilt that I saw in a book about American Patchwork Quilting is what inspired me to try to become a quilter. I have completed a log cabin quilt, so I am not quite there yet.... I really appreciate these videos. I am thankful for you and your team who are willing to share your talents. I really am thankful for the people who help me with my orders from your store. All of you are just wonderful. Many blessings to you and yours for a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season!
I did it. Did a four circle piece. Really enjoyed it
Donna, your tutorials are so easy to follow and I love your helpful hints. The tutorials are the most informative out there. Thank you.
I have always been afraid to do a double wedding ring but after watching the detail of how you made it, pointing to all the areas to watch for, I mow feel that I can make it. The templets and your tutorial have given me the confidence. Thank you for your clear instructions.
I can’t wait to use my French General fabric. Thank you. I was “waiting “ for a special project.
Did a lot of sewing my clothes in high school and college. ALWAYS hated setting in sleeves with those pesky curves. So I have always drooled over the Wedding ring Quilts, but have never wanted to attempt them. Thanks for the tutorial. I am putting this one on the list for the future, after I develop a lot more patience! Always love your tutorials. Your instructions are so very clear, and you enthusiasm inspires confidence. Many thanks.
I have just discovered your channel and I'm hooked. I have been scared of quilting (but have sewn quite a bit). I can totally do this with the tools and instruction. You are a magnificent instructor - and your camera work and lighting is perfect. I appreciate this so much!! I have subscribed! I will be attempting this soon!
It's true, Donna, you are simply the best quilting teacher on You Tube, and your camera work is perfection. Not only that, you are generous with what you have. Thank you.
P.S. Absolutely love the old Concorde florals, which I still have in my stash!
Absolutely stunning! Wow! You really had your work cut out for you but nailed it beautifully. I love that it’s not perfect it makes it more special and shows homemade. Much love and prayers from Delaware ❤️🙏
Hello, dear. You are a master of what you are doing! Thank you for teaching me with your pleasant voice.
Donna you have excelled with this tutorial, it's by far the best Double Wedding Ring instructional video on RUclips. Well done you!
Hello how are you doing?
I want to make one of these for my oldest grandchild who is getting married in June. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial! I have ordered the templates, and I just ordered a rotating cutting board! So excited to get started on this! I have now subscribed to your channel and I will be back, I'm sure!
Donna, I'm 73 y/o and since I was a young girl, I have always loved the DWR quilt and wanted to make one. When I first started quilting I tried my hand at it and guess I did ok, but I threw it away thinking it wasn't perfect. Thank you for giving everyone the confidence to make a dream come true. I can't wait to order the templates. Maybe Santa can bring me a set. lol Happy Holidays and stay safe and healthy.
So much information ,brilliantly displayed, the directions for easy to understand. Beautiful quilt. Thank you so much, for the how to . I've often wanted to do a double wedding ring, but couldn't figure out how to do it. You make it look easy. Fantastic job. Excellent!🥰
My mum gave me a wedding ring quilt years ago - I appreciate you showing how it is made thank you so much - it is beautiful. 🤗
This quilt is gorgeous Donna and your teaching makes it so doable with your detailed instructions and the camera guy doing the closeups just at the right time is amazing. I’m still a beginner to
intermediate quilter and you give me hope on trying curves. Happy quilting everyone

Hello how are you doing???
I was excited when I saw that you were doing a Double Wedding Ring quilt, as I have one my grandma made for me and had dreams of making one of my own some day. However, it didn't take me long watching you working the curves to get that idea right out of my head. I have to say that YOU ARE FEARLESS!! This one goes into my FUTURE pile as my confidence level is far too low right now in comparison to yours. Congratulations on making another beautiful quilt. You're my quilting hero!
I must admit that I was quite fearful before starting! We had so many requests for this pattern, and I didn't think that I could show an easy way to stitch it, but I was wrong. I only stitched one practice curve to get the hang of it because the templates and slits make it so easy to stitch up!
@@jordanfabrics8380 So we all learned something from this one, eh? Well, you're still my "hero"...
Donna is a wonderful teacher. Thank you sew much
Am new to quilting and just loved this lesson. Thank you. Joy 🇬🇧
Excellent tutorial on the double wedding ring quilt....
I have always loved the Double Wedding Ring Quilt. Thank you for making it not seem scary to sew!
Hello how are you doing?
after having the fabric at home for more than a year, i finally started on this huge project for a Queen size quilt. each das a piece. so Long so good!
Thank you Donna! I have been wanting to do this quilt; however, never felt I had the confidence or the courage! Thank you for taking the time to walk through it especially with this cool template! I am always learning new things with you! God Bless you and your family!
Hello how are you doing???
So. In. LOVE!!! With this quilt. Just a beginner, but I see the relationship between shape and lines. Just lovely to see it all come into being. Your hands are masters of the fabric. It's lovely to see their flow and guidance of it.
Donna, it is so nice of you to provide the alternate fabric requirements for no cost to us. Quilting is about sharing. You do that without charging for every little thing. We all appreciate that.
I cannot find the alternate fabric requirements. The link takes me to patterns, not sizing. Help!
We have the information here: jordanfabrics.com/pages/double-wedding-ring-sample-sizes-fabric-requirements
Making my third one with the templates. Thank you so much for the videos 😉
Donna, you go the extra mile when you teach so we can understand what to do! This is a Great video. Thank you so much! There should be an Academy award for this one!
@@anthonjonsson2651 it was a sad day remembering my son died of cancer two years and 20 hours ago.
I agree you are a great teacher and you inspire me all the time not enough time. Love the wedding ring ruler set wow
Making a double wedding ring quilt is so much easier being a Seamstress first, before becoming a quilter. Easing in is a piece of cake for Seamstresses. Cant wait to make this.
Gracias por este maravilloso trabajo, pues dentro de la dificultad lo ha hecho sencillo le mando un saludo cordial desde Barcelona España
@@adelinafernandez8405 Hola Adelina de Barcelona, yo soy nacida en Sevilla vivo en los Estados Unidos ,
Desde luego ella es maravillosa como explica todo con detalle.
Exactly. Easing in is something as a seamstress first makes this much easier for curves.
Sharon Rimsza I agree. Making collars and armholes and princess seams and other shaped curves is really a good skill. It’s like sculpting with cloth.
As a seamstress I pin the bejesus out of curves. I understand quilters desire to get-er-done but the frustration a lot of quilters have with points not matching would go away with a few strategicly place pins.
Thank you, Donna! Appreciate your calm, precise ‘how-to’ explanations!
Thank you for the great tutorials! And thank you to Matt for all the precision hand cut, it makes a world of difference. :) This quilt will be on my to do list for sure. Thanks!
Double Wedding Ring is one quilt I have always wanted to make but have been afraid of the curves. After your video I am more confident I can make it! Thanks for your video.
What a fantastic tutorial, ive been wanting to make a wedding ring quilt for so long now i think im ready. Thanks
I Love Donnas video/tutorials. She explains and with details and helpful hints so well. She is now my favourite of all!!!
Hello how are you doing???
Fabulous! Thank you for showing us this achievable method. You’ve given me the confidence to try making a quilt for my daughter who’s had to postpone her wedding until next May. x
керемет керемет
I am SO glad I watched you do this BEFORE I tried to tackle it myself! I love the pattern because it only has the 12 interlocked rings. I also plan to use the batik fabric focusing on their favorite colors of teal and purple. Thank you so much. XXOO
I’ve just order the templates after watching you see this, not afraid to have a go at marking this now
Hi how heavy is the weights yall use to keep everything from moving when cutting please..its a great idea but I want to be sure to buy a heavy enough one.thanks ao much
@@jlacosta5887 Donna uses a 5 lb weight. I got one at Walmart in the sporting goods section and has really helped me when cutting fabric strips.
@@jlacosta5887 I filled a large
water bottle with sand. It's great because it has a handle and was free.
I received my templates today (Feb 8, 2021). I was impressed at how carefully they were packaged to make sure they arrived without any damage. Now I am anxious to work at my project. Thank you for all your great tutorials and inspiration.
Thank you, Donna, for making the pattern that I've always found daunting doable!
Donna - you are the best teacher ever! I bought the template and watched your instructions, tried my hand at a block and it came out flat (not perfect, but good!). Now I have the confidence to make my daughter and her fiance a double wedding ring quilt...and I couldn't be more grateful to you for making it possible! :))))
That makes this quilt pattern seem more doable. Wouldn't it be fantastic to make an Olympic Quilt using these rings, too!
Hello how are you doing?
Donna , you are amazing at explaining all of this.. Thank you so much!!!!!!
One of these days I’ll make that quilt, and I’ll use this video to help me along. Thank you.
I’m making this quilt! I bought the templates from you guys! It is a lot more fun than I expected!
