Metro Rings - Wedding Ring Quilt Class - January
If you have ever wanted to make a double wedding ring quilt but have been afraid to tackle it, then the Metro Rings class is an easy way to get started.
Using the Quick Curve Ruler (QCR) and strip piecing with a jelly roll, the process is easy and fun. This methodology does not require pinning to handle the gentle curves in these blocks. Do not let this scare you, we will demo how to handle these curves in class.
In this class you will learn the tips and tricks of the Quick Curve ruler to make your blocks and you will be on your way to finishing your quilt! We will finish 2-4 blocks in class.
There is Pre-Class Preparation:
- Please cut all strips of fabric (if not using a jelly roll)
- Follow cutting instructions in pattern for background and setting triangle fabric.
- We will make approximately 2-4 blocks in class so please cut enough in advance to accommodate.
You will need the following:
- Metro Rings Pattern – by Sew Kind of Wonderful
- Jelly Roll or 35- 2 1/2” strips of fabric
- 5 Yards of background fabric
- 1/2 yd of two different fabrics for setting triangles
- 4 - 3/4 yards for backing
- 1/2 yard binding fabric
- Quick Curve Ruler (QCR) from Sew Kind of Wonderful-Required
- A 10” or larger square up ruler. Recommended: Sew Square 10” ruler by Sew Kind of Wonderful. This is a 10 x 10 clear acrylic ruler with easy markings to square up these blocks quickly and easily. I will demo this tool in class along with a regular square up ruler.
