DWR Challenge

The New York City Metro Modern Quilt Guild is having a Double Wedding Ring Challenge! I've never made a DWR quilt before and I was feeling a bit intimidated to say the least. But I have had a bit of help with all of the posts from the blog hop and with Darlene Zimmerman's EZ Quilting DWR template available at: www.simplicity.com
see the details and list of prizes here:

So I picked out some fabric and got out my templates. Why don't you do the same and we will start together.
Come visit me weekly while I sew together my first ring!

I am thinking about using some of these!!!

Here is the EZ DWR template... go ahead don't be afraid!

First I cut out the center

Next I laid out the single arc template and cut out 8 pieces.

Now its time to cut out 4 melon shapes.

8 black squares, now that wasn't so bad was it?

Ok. that's enough for one day. I will let you know when I start sewing all the pieces together. It was so much fun so far.... I might have to make more than one. Never say never!

Playing with how the pieces look together! Not Bad. I think I like it.
