Double Wedding Ring
An interlocking curved ring pattern traditionally made as a wedding or anniversary gift.
The Double Wedding Ring is one of the most technically challenging and visually striking traditional quilt patterns. Interlocking curved rings are pieced from arc segments — typically containing five or seven small rectangular patches — and joined with curved seams to create a continuous chain of overlapping rings. The background melon shapes require curved piecing as well. Despite the complexity, Double Wedding Rings are among the most beloved and collected traditional American quilts, often made to commemorate weddings and anniversaries.
