Learn fabric requirements, size options, and key decision rules for the Sew Kind of Wonderful Double Rings Combo pattern. Perfect for quilters tackling a double wedding ring quilt with modern techniques.
Quick answer
The Double Rings Combo pattern from Sew Kind of Wonderful is a modern take on the classic double wedding ring quilt, and it comes with the Quick Curve Ruler and Sew Square 10 to simplify cutting and piecing. This guide covers fabric requirements and size options so you can plan your project confidently.
Why the Double Rings Combo simplifies a classic design
Traditional double wedding ring quilts are known for their curved piecing and intricate templates, which can be intimidating. The Double Rings Combo pattern updates the iconic intertwined rings with modern cutting and piecing techniques, making it more approachable for quilters at various skill levels. The included Quick Curve Ruler and Sew Square 10 eliminate the need to draft your own curves or measure complex angles, saving time and reducing fabric waste.
Fabric requirements and scrappy design considerations
The pattern is designed for a scrappy look, meaning you can use a variety of fabrics for the rings rather than a single color or print. This makes it an excellent stash-busting project. However, because the design relies on many small pieces, you'll need to plan your fabric pulls carefully to ensure enough contrast between the rings and the background. The pattern does not specify exact yardage for every size, so you may need to calculate based on your chosen dimensions and fabric width.
Size options and what they mean for your project
The Double Rings Combo pattern offers multiple size options, from a lap quilt to a larger throw or bed-size quilt. Smaller sizes are quicker to finish and require less fabric, making them ideal for beginners or gifts. Larger sizes create a dramatic statement but demand more fabric and time. The pattern's instructions are written for the included rulers, so you can scale the design up or down within the recommended size range without losing the interlocking ring effect.
Decision rules for choosing the Double Rings Combo
- Skill level: If you are comfortable with basic piecing and want to try curved seams, this pattern is suitable. Beginners should practice curves on scraps first.
- Fabric planning: Plan for a scrappy ring design: you will need multiple fabrics for the rings (at least 8–10 different prints) plus a solid or low-volume background. Yardage depends on quilt size; a lap quilt (approx. 50" x 60") may require about 3–4 yards total for rings and background. Use the pattern's fabric calculator or your own math to confirm yardage before cutting.
- Size selection: Choose a smaller size (e.g., lap) if you want a faster finish or a gift. Choose a larger size (e.g., throw or twin) for a bed quilt. The pattern supports multiple sizes, but the largest may require additional fabric and time.
- Tool compatibility: The Quick Curve Ruler and Sew Square 10 are required to cut the curved pieces and square up blocks. The combo includes them, so you have everything you need.
What's included in the combo
- Double Rings Combo: The Double Rings Combo includes the Double Rings pattern, Quick Curve Ruler, and Sew Square 10. You get all three items in one purchase, so you don't need to buy the rulers separately—saving money and ensuring compatibility from the start.
