A Heirloom of Love: The Love Rings Quilt
Love Rings Quilt: A must-stitch pattern from the award-winning designers at Pellon® Projects destined to be a sentimental project, with a nod to fantastic visual geometry. This classic patchwork quilt was designed by Darlene as a heartfelt engagement gift for her daughter, and is a timeless quilt that will captivate her family for generations.
The interlocking rings are somewhat more complicated at first glance, but the design cleverly reinterprets the traditional Drunkard's Path block. The secret is to use high contrast in the value (light and dark) of the fabrics so that the circular rings stand out on the top of the quilt.
Essential Pattern Details:
- Completed Dimensions: 56″ x 80″ (14 blocks wide x 20 blocks tall).
- Block Count: 280 total 4″ finished blocks (140 light prints and 140 dark prints).
- Fabric Requirements: 3 yards of light fabric, 3 yards of dark fabric (or 5″ charm square packs for extra variety) + 5 yards for backing and ¾ yard for binding.
- The recommended batting for this quilt is Legacy™ Premier Quilt Batting Natural Blend 80/20 Cotton/Poly batting.
- Skill Level: Intermediate (available to motivated beginners who are keen to move beyond the basics and learn how to use value placement).
Structured or free-spirited, this project is rewarding with yardage or from a box of scraps.
Final Thought
Simple value contrast: two contrasting fabric palettes can create a mesmerizing masterpiece because that is why we quilt: to stitch warmth, love and tradition into functional art. Organize your light and dark values, organize your sewing station and create a legacy piece of your own!
