The Wedding Ring Quilt Goes Modern - Super Easy!

[@SarahRathjen-hh3kz]

You are so lucky to be quilting with your mom! My mom has passed, but I treasure our quilting time that we had.

[@4CloversQuilting]

I understand you perfectly!! I lost my Mom 7 years ago. She was a sewing guru! Miss her everyday. She would have loved that I started a quilting KZbin channel. Take care!!! 💜💜💜

[@jannawhitten2473]

My Mom and I were never able to quilt together, but she did teach me how to sew, and I love her for that. ❤

[@4CloversQuilting]

@ so wonderful!! Let that connection be your happiness & inspiration! 💜💜💜

[@lindasiebe8037]

Add 4 more blocks, a solid border followed by a scrabby border with stripped binding. Absolutely love your channel

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!

[@evelynelliott4485]

Add more blocks. It looks too narrow to wrap comfortably around you. It's absolutely beautiful!❤❤

[@tinster01]

A wedding ring quilt i might can handle making. Excited!

[@DeeBaum]

Solid-ish border and scrappy backing. Love your channel

[@sweetcake405]

Piano key border with strips from the fat quarters, then back with the rest, maybe a solid small border first, love this quilt

[@sisterchicksquilting]

I’m voting for a second time, add more blocks make it wider and maybe one row longer. It will be beautiful without a border. This is a stunning pattern, April, I may have to buy it and make it.

[@joz1801]

I would add more blocks and then put a solid border all the way around it and I'm like you I don't think you need to trim those I wouldn't have to me the bulk wouldn't be that heavy but without any mistakes you have if you don't like it I will be glad more than glad to take it off your hands. Wouldn't mind going to Ireland but really would rather go back to Germany. They have great chocolate there and beer. Lol

[@fransak2723]

I agree Di to make it bigger. Borders are optional but I’ve been keen on piano keys lately with leftovers.

[@ellenhofer3343]

This looks like so much fun!

[@wendedragoset2716]

Option 1. Beautiful quilt.

[@lorihamby60]

Hi April! I like the idea of sewing one a border of the same fabric all around. Then using your remaining fat quarters for the back. You didn’t mention binding so don’t forget that! 😆 Thanks for the fun video!

[@Kat-the-Mag]

I would add solid borders of a solid. Using the other fabrics on the back! Love scrappy backs!

[@janeenpfeiffer3465]

Add more blocks!! Love this quilt ❤it beautiful 😍

[@carenstory8425]

That pattern is so much easier than the one I used. Wish i would have saw that one first. It was the most stressful quilt i've ever done. Thanks for sharing this one. Great job Karee ❤

[@aprilscraftroom]

I’m so glad this version was helpful! You are welcome!

[@AprilWittwer]

Border with same fabric and use fat quarters for scrappy backing ❤

[@sharontefft559]

I agree with more blocks and scrappy border

[@tonialtman3727]

Love your idea. A great gift for someone

[@tonialtman3727]

1/2 blocks to the sides to compleat the rings on the sides. Then add a 6 inch boarders

[@pennyblaize9079]

Add border and make either pillow/throw cases

[@VonnieOdette]

I agree with Di of Sister Chick's. More blocks😊!

[@robynofoz]

I agree with Di, more blocks 🙃

[@gailjernigan2482]

Use a single fabric for the border; use leftover FQs for binding and backing.

[@janniehoffknecht5142]

I think a solid border in a low volume fabric. Use the extra fat quarters for backing and binding

[@AnnaWolf-j2s]

Great New Video Always wanted to make a Wedding Ring Quilt! I think I couldd handle this. 😍 I think those blocks make it big enough. I would add a border and maybe make scalloped border to go with the wedding ring curves!!!

[@annesander61]

Half blocks all around the outside so you can complete the circles

[@aprilscraftroom]

love that idea

[@FinnFinn1]

Option 1. More blocks. Looks beautiful. Have this on my to -do list.

[@caroltambourine405]

I think you and your Mom did a brilliant job.

[@Deborah-w9y4j]

i would use solid borders fat quarter backing and scrappy binding that would be so cute and i think you have enough squares very cute

[@katherinethomas2131]

Use the fabrics that are in your quilt for the border it will be beautiful!

[@TheInappropriateQuilterZaza]

I think Di is right I’d do 4 blocks across even if it ended up being 4x4. As for borders I’d do a thinner inner border with a single colour fabric (probably a lighter colour) then a thicker scrappy pieced border. It’s a clever idea for anyone that’s put off doing a DWR quilt. I’m currently on year 3 of an epic super king size ( I think you call that a California King??) English paper pieced quilt. I’m hoping to finish it this year. 🤞🏻 thanks for the great tips on what mistakes to avoid it saves all of us making them too. I do look forward to your tutorials as you are honest about the projects you do.

[@erica_w]

Hi April! Solid-ish border and scrappy backing.

[@mistyproctor9588]

I always say I don't have flaws in my quilts, I have perfect imperfections, which gives them personality, and I'm ok with them. Your quilt is beautiful!! I absolutely love watching your videos. Thank you I would probably add 1 more row of blocks and use the fat quarters to make the binding.

[@kathythompson7229]

Add more blocks, narrow solid border around, use Fat quarters for backing.

[@cryochik]

Option 1. Add more blocks. Beautiful quilt

[@KayMcDermott-z4l]

Add 1 more row of blocks a wide solid border and complete the rings into the border i like using the rest of the fabric to make the backing.

[@joz1801]

I would go with adding extra blocks and then putting the solid border around it I'm like you I don't think you need to trim that bulk because it's not really that much but if you don't care for the little

[@StacyRussell-ml8ky]

A small solid border and then another border with your left over fabrics. Then a solid binding matching the small solid border. Any left over fabric on the back.

[@knittingnana2939]

I vote for more blocks

[@SouthernGIGI]

I would add two borders, first solid, then add piano keyboard after that one .

[@aprilscraftroom]

love this idea

[@ThePerniciousAngel]

I like bigger quilts so I would add more blocks making it 4 across X 5 down, add a 2 1/2 - 3" white on white border (probably ❄snowflakes❄, I love ❄snowflakes❄), a scrappy border with leftovers of the bundle, whatever is left from scrappy border can be incorporated into the backing, and either red and white stripe or green and white stripe for binding. What ever you decide to do will look great!!

[@connie651000]

So glad you still have your mom to quilt with. I am sure what ever you decide will be amazing. Solid border than a piano scrappy broader using your left over fat quarters. Just a thought 😊.

[@KarenClarke-o8m]

Hi April, you have beautiful hair...I would use the solids for a small border then the rest of the fabric sew together to make another border.

[@deeanna12000]

It is a BEAUTIFUL QUILT, BUT, I Agree with sisterchicksquilting. It does need to be wider and at least One row Longer.

[@Deelovesgoldens]

I love quilt smart products. Their stars are so easy and seams so perfect

[@sherryfaires7931]

You and your mom did a great job! Option #1 more blocks and a solid border! A very pretty quilt!

[@debbiewood2675]

I would make 4 more blocks, use solid color for border and use left over fat quarters for backing

[@crafthappymawmaw7359]

Solid border then the scraps around the next border 😊

[@3catscarefreelife]

That’s a lovely quilt. You and your mom make a great team❤. I would add 4 more blocks and then option 4

[@nancydejesus1684]

Solid border, scrappy back and border

[@janicecheatham8532]

I would add more blocks, making it 4x5. Love a scrappy border.

[@michellerutkowski6858]

I love the quilt top, I think I would add one more column of blocks (4 across) and then a nice border. I am sure that whatever you decide will be beautiful though! I look forward to seeing what you do!

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

That does look a lot easier than the way I made my first two Double Wedding Quilts. When I'm sewing crumbs and string blocks, Christmas fabrics are fair game. You will find a little Christmas fabric in all of my scrap quilts. Your pets look very healthy and happy. Your grandchildren also look healthy and happy. Which means that your sewing and crafts rooms are happy, healthy places to be. I think you need to add more blocks also. What you have so far is very pretty. Thank you.

[@valeriec4426]

Add more blocks and use the extra fat quarters for binding and backing

[@karenemerton5128]

Fun video!!

[@hepworthfamily]

So pretty! And love that it's Christmas fabric!! I'd leave as is and add a small solid fabric border, then scrappy border 😊

[@debbielong1168]

I think a solid border Ana scrappy binding

[@pamblessman9451]

If it were mine, I would add another vertical row of blocks, apply a solid border (since the quilt is busy enough) then use what’s left of the fqs for a scrappy binding. Anything left after that, could be used in the back. Good luck!

[@laurielasley6568]

Very pretty, love the design. That would make a great wedding gift using the brides colors.

[@rayolarisner9034]

Option 4 it is beautiful

[@CJ-yb7qn]

I would add more blocks and then do a solid border. I think a scrappy back with the leftover fat quarters would truly finish the quilt off beautifully!!!☺

[@rebeccamaccallum9239]

I recently found 12 vintage wedding ring blocks and will sprinkle them over some quilt as applique…

[@DonnellsStitchery]

Awesome Video April...I love a wedding ring quilt

[@Pammy00013]

Hi April, Yep option 1. I really like it! Good job mom and you ❤️

[@lisagilbert8472]

If I have an option to use all the fabric iw would do that option. If possible as you don’t want more block, wide borders and then scrappy backing. I live strips as the binding, maybe a scrappy strip binding! ❤❤

[@shirleyi5110]

Another row of blocks and a solid border.

[@catblack4091]

I LOVE the idea of a wedding ring quilt with Christmas fabrics!

[@dorothytackett9943]

Option 1.

[@annettejohnson1781]

Option 1

[@FrancesSmeby]

I'd like to see the light green for the first thinner border and the red and whit star like print for the outer border.That's just me. I love that pattern and the prints.I can see it done in other color too.

[@normatulloch376]

Add more blocks, solid border, scrappy binding.

[@lindagillian8157]

I would do the fat quarter strip border and fat quarter backing. Beautiful!!!!

[@faymcbriarty5353]

Just 1 more block in each row, then a red or white tone on tone border with a striped binding

[@grannybirdbirdsong1274]

Option 3 - solid (single-fabric) border with scrappy back.

[@elainecoull7237]

Beautiful quilt April. I would add more blocks then a plain border.

[@jeanettehammons2318]

I think more blocks! I did this about 20 years ago with the narrow arcs! This looks sooooo much easier!

[@donnagafford5992]

Nice. Scrappy border. 😊😊😊

[@katherinechappell7378]

Option2 &3

[@lesa6399]

Quilt def needs widened…so many choices!

[@lolagonzales1285]

Solid border with a scrappy 2nd border.

[@thedebtfreequilter]

I vote for options 1 and 2. Add another column and a chunky border! This is totally cheating for a wedding ring quilt! Love it!

[@DavidMcCollough-j6o]

More blocks, very pretty.

[@marlenemcclain8057]

Option one for me!

[@marla304]

Do a scalloped border

[@aktam99]

I vote for more blocks. I always look forward to your videos! I must have missed where you said what product that has the arcs on it. The interfacing or whatever it is. Please inform us.

[@cynthiabarron8474]

Borders all around then as you said use the leftover fabric on the back. Don't forget to share your finished product

[@cathyr5328]

I vote more blocks

[@LauraSup]

I love this and I love the fabric!😊 I am in the add more blocks! Can a quilt be too big?!

[@lindaburke3442]

Option 4

[@laris2328]

Use the striped fabric for the bias binding. A tiny inner border of a fabric that appears solid. A 6" border out of yardage. But for the back, do an easy design using 9" squares (each fq yields four 9" squares). Something simple like a row of squares sewn together with the next row being offset (cut 1 block in half). That's quick easy and nothing to match up. Don't worry about "perfect points". Then you'll have a "reversible" quilt.

[@tracymaddox8546]

Add more blocks. It would really bring out the wedding ring circle. There is only one ring now, but two would stand out with more blocks.

[@adelaidesocki3595]

Hello! Please add more blocks. 🎉

[@judypurcell954]

My vote is for a solid border scrappy back

[@katherinef4291]

I’d add more blocks (4x5), no border, use the leftovers for binding and back.

[@georgianelson5038]

Border of all the same fabric would be my vote.

[@robinsquiltbasket]

I agree with Di from Sister Chicks, more blocks!

[@rebeccamaccallum9239]

Sew many possibilities, u need to see the couple of wedding ring quilts Dave’s craft room made, super cool, I assume u know him. I think he made 2.

[@HeatherTheMadQuilter]

One more row of blocks solid border and solid backing.

[@sharelynnbell6718]

Add more blocks and a solid border

[@rebeccamaccallum9239]

Depends how big u want it. I would go with a white low volume first skinny border, then maybe a green and maybe a red skinny borders, then a final scrappy border. I need to buy some of these things if u can find them. Have u seen some of the very modern wedding r quilts that Virginia Findlay wolfe made, super cool, not sure on her name spelling.

[@susanswanson8404]

Option one, more blocks. It will really be fabulous then. Plus it’s too skinny as is. Multiple borders are easier but, girl, you’re a quilter!

[@anne-mariehill2199]

I would add another 4 blocks, then add borders . I love the idea of using the "leftover" far quarters for the backing fabric. ❤

[@d-lynns762]

I would add a border and or scrappy back....
