Wedding Ring Quilt Patterns
Bedspread is the other name used to describe quilts and bedspreads that have a wedding ring quilt pattern are very common wedding gifts. This is because these quilts have rings that are sewn in them (rings symbolize compassion and love). There are varieties of these quilt patterns like the double, BMA and single wedding ring patterns. This quilt pattern origin dates back to 1900’s. People have a strong belief that this pattern was initially used at some stage in the American civil war. This pattern (wedding ring) is a sign of the real rings that a couple exchanges during their wedding ceremony. This quilt pattern is among the gifts that the groom and bride will cherish for many years. The ring quilts are made either in dark or pastel colors.
Single Wedding Ring Quilt Patterns
A single wedding ring quilt pattern has 750 pieces in total and mainly consists of triangles. However, people do not commonly use this pattern. People prefer double wedding ring patterns although sewing them is tougher as compared to the single quilt pattern.
The Double Wedding Quilt Pattern
This wedding ring quilt pattern is a very common pattern used in quilts. There is a tradition surrounding it. Examples of these myths suggest that people used the wedding ring quilt patterns as an underground railway code, or people used the ring quilts having double ring patterns in place of the actual rings in case they (couples) were unable to afford them. The double quilt pattern suits all sizes of beds; from the single bed to the double one or the queen size bed to the king size one. The other unique aspect about this pattern is its composition of fine materials, nothing like the other wedding quilt patterns. People give it on special ceremonies because its patterns are better than the others. Strictly making circular designs is not obligatory. Therefore, you are free to make other designs such as hexagons or triangles. When doing this, ensure that the designs on the quilts are interlocked. Learn more instructions on making a quilt.
Coming up with the perfect arch is the most essential element in making double wedding ring quilting patterns. As soon as you master the art of making the arch, all the other aspects are simple. In most cases, the occasion will determine the fabric used. Normally, people use soft fabrics but you must avoid fabrics that easily wrinkle. Cotton certainly makes an excellent fabric. After making the arch, you can begin sewing the curve. Although this can prove to be considerably difficult for beginners, they will still manage to sew with enough practice and time. You can learn more from “how to quilt for beginners”. Presently, the markets have already made quilt patterns. Buy them and try tracing the designs with the aid of tracing papers. This is very easy. Never forget to make two arcs of different colors on the wedding ring quilt pattern prior to sewing them together.
