This book is great for quilters who like to construct as they go. The book has clear cut directions that simplify the traditional Double Wedding Ring piecing method. You will make individual units that are complete back and front and then join them together. There is no binding afterwards and no additional quilting necessary. The quilt will have scalloped edges and any size can be made from King size with large blocks to mini-quilts with tiny blocks. You make your application.
In addition the book has additional ideas for variations of the traditional wedding ring quilt that are quite beautiful and 'out of the box'. I really liked this book and felt it was well worth the purchase price. The only thing I was disappointed in was the fact that I was not provided a template for the one piece of the quilt necessary. All of Marti Mitchel's books include paper templates and do not try to force the reader to buy additional items that they need for the projects in the book. This was a serious error on the part of author(s) and I think they should make future additions to include the paper templates. It is not fair to purchase a book for 15.00 dollars or more and not be provided with all the information necessary to complete the projects in the book. The template could be considered that information since a paper template is normal in paper piecing, or traditional piecing at times. This just wasn't fair on the part of the authors and could be considered to be serious obstacle on people purchasing the book. I think they are counting on people not looking at the book but just buying it online where they don't give you a fair look at the content.

I often look at quilting books at the library or at the quilting store. If they are not up to par then I will not purchase them. I think the editors of this publication should take that into consideration.

This book offers a unique technique that has great results. The benefit is being able to complete the quilting portion on each block seperately. This is much easier to handle under the sewing machine and allows more creativity.

I followed all of the directions, and watched a you tube where Cheryl told the steps, but already had the work prepped. Now I know why. Once there are a few rows together, it's a painstakingly difficult process to get the blocks on correctly. Take my advice, it is not easier than the old fashioned way of learning the correct way to sew a curve, it has actually taken me twice as long to make my quilt, and I'm not happy with the results. Save your money.

I ordered the book, "Rings That Bind." It came to me very quickly. What made me especially happy was that the Arc tools were still with the book. Many other offers listed that the arc tools were not included. The book is easy to understand, but it would be impossible to make this quilt without the arc tools. So I was thrilled when the product came to me complete. Thanks, I love it!

I'm more than half way through a king sized quilt using this method and have had no problems following the instructions with wonderful results! I did get the curved template with the book and the tips for using it are great too. Everything was made easy with her method and tips throughout the process. I'm really pleased!

watched a video with Cheryl doing this quilt. Only problem is for a Queen quilt you need 16.5 yrds of same material and a bolt only had 13 yrds. If making large quilt, you would need to special order material. Book is some what confusing

After making a Double wedding Ring quilt that took 4 months to put the pieces together, and 4 months to quilt - this method is much much easier! Each ring is completed before joining it to the next ring, with easy to follow steps.

I was looking for an easier way to make a wedding ring quilt, and this is it. A new way to quilt- I didnt think it was possible, but it is. The template is very easy to use, with easy to understand instructions. Cuts the quilting time in half at least. I recommend the quilt as you go method as descrived in the book.
