Aloha from Hawaii!!!🌈🌈. When it comes to quilting I believe you can make any quilt. A quilt that you can’t make doesn’t exist!!!! At least not on this planet. !!!😀😀😀‼️
Hey there, Dave. I watched this video as I have watched all of your videos. Let me tell you, I love your quilts. They are fabulous. I have been a subscriber for a while and I have never commented before but I think I need to comment on this one. You talked about the fact that your channel is not for beginners and that you just make quilts because you love making quilts. May I say, thank you, thank you, thank you. I appreciate that there are new quilters out there and certainly they should be welcome to all quilting shows. But the quilting channels that challenge the more intermediate or seasoned quilter are few and far between. I am 71 years old and I have been sewing since I was four. I made my first quilt when I was around 12 or 13. It was a very plain quilt and was done as a project for a class I was part of at our church. Most of what I sewed for years was clothes for myself and for my family. I didn't really get excited about it and begin really quilting until I was in my 20s. Then I began by watching Georgia Bonesteel on PBS. It now is my passion. I know how to sew and I know most of the basic quilting techniques. I still like a challenge and your quilts challenge me. I love your channel and I love your quilts. I have told people about your channel, even folks who aren't quilters, because your quilts are so compelling and exciting. Keep on doing what you are doing. I know I'm not the only one who loves your channel. You are a wonderful young man and a blessing to me and I'm sure to others as well. Thank you so much. I just felt like I needed to share.
Dave, you provide much joy & delight into our world! I’m 71 yrs old & have been quilting at least 40 yrs. You are by far my favorite quilting TH-camr. Love your attitude & fearlessness ❣️
I loved it when he was talking about the book/pattern, and they were warning folks away, it might be too much bla bla bla…… Dave then mentioned one of his many pieced quilts was 7000 + and he just laughed when he read theirs was @700! Love his videos too!
My neighbor grew up in Iowa (born in 1930) . Her family was large. She was the youngest of 6 . They were considered "poor". Living on a farm, growing their own food, butchering chickens, making their own clothes. From the 'scraps' of the clothing they would put them aside and then make quilts from those scraps to have them be utilitarian. To keep them warm. She had hand sewn butterfly blocks where the pattern was in a local magazine., because it looked nicer than just sewing scraps together. She never made it into a quilt because it reminded her of a time of struggle. I got the blocks, I have made a wall hanging for her grandchildren, but I still have all these butterfly blocks in a container.
Not your grandmother's wedding ring quilt! What a massive piecing enterprise you took on! Very impressive! Your accuracy with curved piecing and matching points is so admirable.....love this loud and sassy wedding ring!
If I wanted to see a quilt that everyone makes, I would watch everyone. I watch for Dave-itized quilts specifically because I am myself a quilter that likes to follow a different path. Dave-itized quilts are my favorites!
Fabulous! And I have even more appreciation for the quilt my grandmother bought for me in 1972 for $5. I am 78 and have quilted on and off for 30 years. I still feel like a newbie and will never attempt this Double Wedding Ring, so thank you for showing this.
I absolutely love your attitude and fearless approach to creating. Plus you create stunning quilts at the end of the process. Bravo to you, sir! I will add that I have adopted your habit is saying I think it is beautiful and stunning when I finish a a project. It’s a good saying and I hope you hear it as imitation is flattery. Thank you for sharing your work and your process with us in YT land.
I’ve been quilting since 1974 and have never attempted this quilt. It reminds me of the question, “How do you eat an elephant.” “One bite at a time”. I am so proud of you for attempting and completing this quilt in your wonderful fashion. Congratulations for making a masterpiece.
Thanks Dave for reading the magazine clipping. Agree with your comments. The quilting "experts" and police probably prevented many attempts at challenging designs. Go for it.
I love you man ! You are without a doubt the most generous creative. You demonstrate true freedom in stuffy rule-ridden quiltmaking. Thank you SO MUCH. REBEL AGAINST FABRIC TYRANNY.❤
I've seen so many double wedding ring quilts and they almost all look alike! Yours though stands out fantastically from the crowd. I'm now curious about this block, that I've always dismissed. 🔥🔥🔥
Greetings from Alma, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 I grew up knowing quilt patterns from The 1920's-1930's Era being commonly discussed. The Wedding Ring is a very, very special quilt much like 'The Fine China & Crystal' received as their wedding gifts. A special quilt traditionally 'The Wedding Ring' is stored in the cedar chest wrapped in blue tissue paper of a married woman. Very seldom used, and if used, was brought out displayed upon her bed on her Anniversary. and never on another bed used by anyone else. The quilt was aired out on the clothesline and put onto the bed on this special occasion, their Anniversary. This was the quilt her mother made for her for her Wedding Bed and was quilted by all the female members of her family as well as the female members of the family she was marrying. And afterward stored and put onto their bed for special occasions, their Anniversary. As the title says, it's traditionally a wedding present put onto the wedding bed of the newly wedded couple. The 'rings' unite the families of their marriage together and the many rings represent their family members. The rings represent the intertwining connection of the combined family members of the 2 families' members. It represents the marriage, combining the 2 families, everyone is 'connected', united together, and related to one another through this marriage. Represented in the exchanging of rings during the marriage ceremony, thus uniting the 2 families together as relations now to one another. A treasured quilt is traditionally given as a wedding gift from the bride's mother. The bride's mother hosts quilting bees along with an afternoon tea, for both families, commonly for the women folks. So yes, this quilt is treasured because all the female members from both sides of the family put a stitch or two into the quilting of the wedding quilt. Ironically, more than oftentimes their 'stitches' would be pulled out due to undesirable stitching quality, whereas other 'rows' were of admirable quality. Of course, the ripping out of undesirable stitches was kept quiet, done discreetly after they left of course. But overall everyone came to unite and rejoice in the 2 families being kinfolks, of the upcoming Wedding and being related now to one another. This quilting bee helped 'quilt' the Bride's quilt for her 'Wedding Bed' as well as meeting and getting to know one another. Wonderful to have found your channel. Keep up the passion of quilting. Now You know the history of The Wedding Ring Quilt Pattern and its representation. Regards, GiGi In Vintage
Thank you so much for your response. I am working on a DWR quilt for my son's wedding and your information will be useful for explaining the quilt pattern to him
Dave, you are a master quilt maker! You dazzle me every time you share a project! I love that you are undaunted and you're making courageous quilters out in TH-cam Land! Because of your creative process sharing and showing what you do and why, you encourage your followers to be bold. Bless you!
I am so thankful for this video. My granddaughter is getting married in a year or so and I want to make her a double wedding ring quilt. This has been the best representation I have yet to see. Best of everything to you Dave! ❤
Dave, I'm a self-taught quilter of a few years. Where I live it's almost impossible to find anyone into crafts. I came across a British TV craft channel which had some quilt lessons. One of the "teachers"said she made a queen size double wedding ring quilt in a week-end. The presenter looked sceptical I looked at the TV and yelled codswallop The channel no longer exist.
BRAVO! Well done! I love the fact that there is “no bridge too far” for you, Dave. You have the vision only young eyes have. I couldn’t figure out how you would square off a Wedding Ring quilt, but you did and it is terrific. My new mantra, “let Jesus take the wheel.” Thank you, Dave!!!
I can't take my eyes off this quilt. You are so brave. This fearlessness has spilled over to me! I'm taking more risks and getting more done. I'm grateful for you, Dave. P.S. I'm an old lady, but only quilting for real for 9 years.
The different quilted motifs in the pillows match the quilt so well! Everything about it is chaotic but still comes together to be cohesive, I love it!
I love loud I think it’s beautiful. How anyone could doubt you making any quilt you put your mind to is beyond me. I’m a novice sewer and have never made a quilt but I appreciate the work and the love and talent that goes into a quilt. And you don’t even follow a pattern. I love your creativity and watching your process. Anyone who gets a Dave creation is very lucky 👍😊
Dave, it is so fascinating to watch you place the pieces on the design wall, sew and re-organize.....Getting a glimpse of how your mind works. I agree, with a positive attitude, courage, determination and skill it will come together beautifully. You say youre not a teacher as in instructing us how to do it but you have certainly taught us the value of accepting a challenge and learning how to grow and master. Yourr colors and patters are simply Joyful!! ❤ Awesome
In Little Rock, AR we bought a house that had valances over the windows that matched the valances. I didn’t like them, so took them down and began to undo them. As each layer of cover pulled back to reveal the paddings. They were quilt pieces. No lie, and as I spread the out, I found a double wedding ring quilt, that matched a piece from the other valance. THEN the wonder, was that they matched the cuts -- and made an entire quilt twin bed size. I was shocked that anyone would cut up quilts to use in such a manner. There were other pieces that were utilized in special places in other places in the home. I still have them in my home. Treasures.
Hello Dave!! I enjoyed your video very much. I took a class at my LQS to learn how to make this quilt. It was very hard and tedious for me at the time. Your video has encouraged me to to make this quilt. I have been wanting this quilt for some time. I have ordered my template and pattern and I am in the process of deciding on fabric. Thanks so very much. Your quilt is BEAUTIFUL!
I found an old book that had wedding ring quilt, the rings are made with less scraps. And the sewing it by hand more complicated. Then I found that encyclopedia, and a newer book from 2003 and it's made with less scraps pieces and a new technique to have it easier to sew via machine. Im making mine with thousands of scraps from my crumbs from other projects, two brand new fat quarters for the diamonds and the white areas are scraps of white fabric overlayed w lace scraps. it's taking a long time... 😂
I love your attitude toward quilting! I am new to quilting and all the rules have seemed overwhelming to me but I have decided to just "davetize" it and have fun! Thanks for your sharing your thoughts with us!
You inspired me. I remembered that I have fans sewn for a classic fan quilt. I have had these unfinished fans for 30 or 40 years and have just never been inspired to finish them. There are enough for 2 twin size quilts. One set has the points already sewn on, waiting for the top part of the block. The second is just the fan part. I love what you did with this quilt so much that I have decided to finish it with bright solid colors, kind of in the style of the double wedding ring.
The colors are phenomenal! I don’t think ‘stunning’ or ‘epic’ are sufficently superlative adjectives for this quilt. You over-achieved with this one, Dave. The cutting is tediuous, and you did it without the help of acrylic templates! Talk about committed! The piecing is tricky, especially with the curves, yet you make it look easy. Can we talk about the colorful centers? Again, you opted for the more complex (more attractive, IMO) option. But wait, there’s more! You hand quilted it while you were traveling. Your fearless and avant garde approach is fun and you create amazing quilts! 👏🔥🎉
Dave best scrap quilt ever. I love your no fear approach. Gorgeous! I love scrappy quilts, not because I’m poor but love all the different fabrics together. More is better. I look forward to your videos.
DAVE!!! I AM MIND BLOWN AGAIN!!! You, yes YOU ARE A QUILTING GENIUS!! I had have watched all of your videos and this one is totally 😱😳🤯 This is so untraditional on such a traditional pattern. I had soooo much fun watching the piecing. Seeing all of the different fabrics go by from so many of the different quilts you have done. I mean Cheez-its, Space Station, Pokémon, camo, anime, fruit, flowers, brilliant colors, cats, and I could go on and on. This soooo NEEDS to be entered in Quilt Con!!! It looks amazing with the squared border and the hand quilting was chef’s kiss to this masterpiece. Normally you don’t explain how you do it but I love how you did and in the little details of how you stitched it. Thank you for sharing yet another fabulous and fantastic work of art. I never thought I would hear you say this quilt is hard.🤯 Can’t wait to see what you have in store next! Much love and appreciation, Laura in KY 💙🪡🧵
My first quilt was storm at sea. Only after I completed it did I find out it's considered a hard quilt! Don't let someone else's characterisation of a pattern put you off❤
You make a good point about the assumptions and gatekeeping of this quilt style. I made a modern double wedding ring with a black background, it’s one of my favorites.
WOW just WOW 😍 You made short work of a double wedding ring quilt that others, back in the day, would take months or years to make. Nice job once again💕🪡🧵
OMG. Dave your amazing. Video kept my interest as i grooved to the music . The quilt itself is the bomb. So much color and movement. You've got a new 70 y/o fan from San Francisco. Thanks for your hard work.
We learn by watching what you do. It's great fun. And you are didactical. Love your work and creativity. So, yes, you are a good teacher. Thank you, Dave dear! ❤
Ohmigosh, that quilty gatekeeping can be strong! I leavened to quilt with my grandma when I was 11, and the other ladies in her guild would always tell me that I needed more experience to try different kind of quilts. Especially curves. I need to let it go, but I’m still afraid to sew curves to this day!
I just found your channel a couple of days ago and I'm addicted to you and your quilt "techniques" :) I'm 77 and have been a traditional quilter for many years but I've always been a "rebel" deep down. I think that's why I'm drawn to you. I'm fascinated with how you figure out in your head what you want to do and then just do it. Bravo! BTW...I have the same sewing machine and love it. I've had mine for about 12/13 years and never had any problems with it. It's been moved with me from one end of the country to the other and I just clean and oil regularly and it sews beautifully. Yours sure does get a workout...haha :) Looking forward to what you will create next.
beyond fantastic, cant believe it took me so long to find your channel (: thank you for the honest and detailed look at your process, as well as some quilt history! i always thought paper piecing was hard, but as soon as i saw you do it it just clicked. this makes me believe that I can make this for me and my girlfriends future wedding. thank you dave!!
Great work and fabulous result! I noticed that you sometimes allow the same colour in several neighboring blocks, and that makes your quilts look a bit spontaneous, very picturesque and natural. You are a great designer, my respect.
Love your process. Your attitude towards tackling this project was wonderful. You truly are making it your own. Loved watching you make this quilt. It's beautiful.
Other than this video being off the charts artistically, I’ve laughed so hard with you Dave! Some of the things you say I totally get! This quilt is so ……… wild! I’m struggling with the word! Quite makes me dizzy but your talent is amazing!
I started a double wedding ring quilt when I first got married 40 ( ahhhh) years ago. I brought the project out of storage when my husband ended up in a nursing home and I worked on hand piecing the centers , cat's eyes and arcs together. I got about half way through it before he passed. I should finish it someday. It is a gorgeous pattern. Yours is far more colorful than mine!
Can you imagine hand piecing that. I have one on my long arm right now that was hand peices by an 86 year old women. She passed and her daughter asked me to quilt it. I get shaky every time I start. Her work is so beautiful I don’t want to mess up the quilt.
WOW! This is the first time I’ve seen the Wedding Rings quilt made before. Not something to try yet. Just started quilting since September 2023 and barely getting that 1/4 seam right 😂. You’re so right, it’s spectacular! It’s beautiful.
you can do it!! I have templates and working on my 3rd one for my son. I find them time consuming but once you get the hang its not as bad as the patterns with lots of points. I was amazed that he was using paper as templates. I would have destroyed everything in paper ha ha ha
So I did it the dumb way and precut all the itty-bitty pieces and expected them to sew together and form the right shape. The idea to paper piece came to me months later. BUT watching you gave me an idea to use my seasonal scraps to make a ring for each month. You are inspirational! Keep on quilting!!
Bravo my friend! Bravo! I've always seen double wedding ring quilts, but didn't know how they were put together. It was intriguing to watch it all happen. I love the way you do videos...keep it up! Also, I feel like that millions of pieces tiny house blocks quilt looked harder and more time consuming than this one.
I love your quilts, so interesting and fun. Bright colors always cheer me up and this quilt literally made me smile. You are such a talented artist. Thank you for sharing your process.
Where do I start?, This wedding ring quilt is out of this world! I love the scrappiness and colour, it's exciting! I want to go out and buy plain colour fabrics and blend it with my own to almost copy your style. LOL. I have a quilt in mind too . How you have affected me. 🥰 I sew , quilt, knit, embroider, and all self learned. I've gotten caught up with the stuffy rules and made beautiful stuff over the years. Then I find your channel and my mind BLOWN !!!!!!!!!! I LOVE how your mind works - the way you "davietize" everything, explain how you do "your" methods and just plain go for it. You emphasize that through your editing of your video. It's exciting ! It's freeing, Because of you and your videos I've finished! 2 quilts (70 x 60) since January 1 of this year. It's only just March and I'm already on my 3rd quilt, something for me that I started 8 years ago. But what has me excited is that it too is a crazy plaid shirt, paper pieced, odd ball large lap quilt, AND your brilliant mind and talent has crossed over through the screen and now I want to in my way "Davietize" it, LOL. and get it finished to use. THANK YOU Dave for sharing your talent and creative outlet with me, you have helped me grow and change my views on my own projects. Keep up the good creative work !❤
Dave! That quilt is AMAZING!!! Thank you for sharing the journey! I would have ended up huddled in a corner in the fetal position after attempting that! Bravo - you have created another masterpiece!
Aloha from Hawaii!!!🌈🌈. When it comes to quilting I believe you can make any quilt. A quilt that you can’t make doesn’t exist!!!! At least not on this planet. !!!😀😀😀‼️

“I’m not afraid of no fabric!” That got a sub from me! I adore your use of color. Reminds of the knit designer Stephen West. Stunning.
Serious freaking genius.
This is by far my favorite wedding ring quilt ever! Your quilts are NEVER boring!
Mine too. Jewel Colors are my vibe.
Thank you, Dave, I’m an 84-year-old quilter, and I love your work! I like color, almost as much as you do!
77 love color too
The gatekeeping!
Dave. Babes. I'm two minutes in and I already know you're going to slay this quilt.
Gotta keep the punks out 😤
My neighbor grew up in Iowa (born in 1930) . Her family was large. She was the youngest of 6 . They were considered "poor". Living on a farm, growing their own food, butchering chickens, making their own clothes.

I got the blocks, I have made a wall hanging for her grandchildren, but I still have all these butterfly blocks in a container.
My Great Grandma here in Iowa made a quilt out of great grandpa’s boxer shorts
Not your grandmother's wedding ring quilt! What a massive piecing enterprise you took on! Very impressive! Your accuracy with curved piecing and matching points is so admirable.....love this loud and sassy wedding ring!
"Yes I do dare try" favorite quote from this video! You definitely tried and succeeded! Bravo!
If I wanted to see a quilt that everyone makes, I would watch everyone. I watch for Dave-itized quilts specifically because I am myself a quilter that likes to follow a different path. Dave-itized quilts are my favorites!
"I'm not a-scared of no fabric!" -should be on a t-shirt! Another excellent job, and thank you for another excellent video, Dave!
Hear, here !
Totally agree 😂
I WANT that tshirt!😉
Also a “Dav-etized” in patch work.
Fabulous! And I have even more appreciation for the quilt my grandmother bought for me in 1972 for $5. I am 78 and have quilted on and off for 30 years. I still feel like a newbie and will never attempt this Double Wedding Ring, so thank you for showing this.

How refreshing! Quilting ideas without boundaries!
Just found you, Dave. You’re a breath of fresh air in the quilting community! ❤
I’ve been quilting since 1974 and have never attempted this quilt. It reminds me of the question, “How do you eat an elephant.” “One bite at a time”. I am so proud of you for attempting and completing this quilt in your wonderful fashion. Congratulations for making a masterpiece.

You should call yourself The Fearless Quilter. You never cease to amaze me with your creative process. I love the quilt and the colors are fantastic!
I love your method of quilting. It's your style and who cares what others think.
Wow! The most original double wedding rings what I've ever seen. I love it!
Who knew quilting was an aerobic sport!
DAVE! I have nicknamed you "The Mad Scientist of Quilting." Thsi is just AMAZING! LOVE IT!

Great video. I loved watching the pillows-to-footballs-to-circles chain piecing. A glorious circus; glad I came to the show.

WOW! Typical DAVE Explosion of Colors, Techniques & Quilting! Thanks for a fulfilled viewing experience! 🎉 😊

My first thought was that this is a quilt Alice would see in Wonderland. It's truly amazing. Dave, the Fearless Quilter.
A double wedding ring quilt is on my quilty bucket list. Love yours. Thank you.
In Little Rock, AR we bought a house that had valances over the windows that matched the valances. I didn’t like them, so took them down and began to undo them. As each layer of cover pulled back to reveal the paddings. They were quilt pieces. No lie, and as I spread the out, I found a double wedding ring quilt, that matched a piece from the other valance.

AH Dave, this belongs in a modern art museum. This is exxxxtraordinary.!!!!
When you had that first row on the board ready to be pieced, my brain broke for a little while. I think it's gorgeous and kudos to you!
Love your non-traditional quilt from a very traditional pattern.
Wowza!
Bravo Dave! I admire your willingness to just jump in and Davietize! Stunning quilt!
Love your Davetization of this pattern. Best version EVER! Killer music, this quilt is a masterpiece!!!
I found an old book that had wedding ring quilt, the rings are made with less scraps. And the sewing it by hand more complicated. Then I found that encyclopedia, and a newer book from 2003 and it's made with less scraps pieces and a new technique to have it easier to sew via machine. Im making mine with thousands of scraps from my crumbs from other projects, two brand new fat quarters for the diamonds and the white areas are scraps of white fabric overlayed w lace scraps. it's taking a long time... 😂
Very Beautiful, I have the die’s for my AccuQuilt for this pattern, I may have been inspired to actually start this one this year
The quilt is drop dead gorgeous!!! Bravo!!!
beautiful work...I love what you have done.
Love your “Story” quilts. No one does it like you
I love your attitude toward quilting! I am new to quilting and all the rules have seemed overwhelming to me but I have decided to just "davetize" it and have fun! Thanks for your sharing your thoughts with us!
You have to Maymaytize it 😉😜👨🏻
@@davescraftroom love that!
Love your analysis of this quilt and your questioning of said prior writings.
WOW, WOW and WOW. Dave: The master of curved piercing!!!
You are an awesome inspiration!
I enjoyed hearing what you read about the double wedding quilt.
You inspired me. I remembered that I have fans sewn for a classic fan quilt. I have had these unfinished fans for 30 or 40 years and have just never been inspired to finish them. There are enough for 2 twin size quilts. One set has the points already sewn on, waiting for the top part of the block. The second is just the fan part.
I love what you did with this quilt so much that I have decided to finish it with bright solid colors, kind of in the style of the double wedding ring.
The colors are phenomenal! I don’t think ‘stunning’ or ‘epic’ are sufficently superlative adjectives for this quilt. You over-achieved with this one, Dave. The cutting is tediuous, and you did it without the help of acrylic templates! Talk about committed! The piecing is tricky, especially with the curves, yet you make it look easy. Can we talk about the colorful centers? Again, you opted for the more complex (more attractive, IMO) option. But wait, there’s more! You hand quilted it while you were traveling. Your fearless and avant garde approach is fun and you create amazing quilts! 👏🔥🎉
Dave best scrap quilt ever. I love your no fear approach. Gorgeous!
I love scrappy quilts, not because I’m poor but love all the different fabrics together. More is better. I look forward to your videos.
Who else but YOU can Davify a double wedding quilt to perfection?!?! Love it all ❤
Not a fan of eyeballs, but without them, you have thread spools!
Love your content. Thank you Dave!
DAVE!!! I AM MIND BLOWN AGAIN!!! You, yes YOU ARE A QUILTING GENIUS!! I had have watched all of your videos and this one is totally 😱😳🤯 This is so untraditional on such a traditional pattern. I had soooo much fun watching the piecing. Seeing all of the different fabrics go by from so many of the different quilts you have done. I mean Cheez-its, Space Station, Pokémon, camo, anime, fruit, flowers, brilliant colors, cats, and I could go on and on. This soooo NEEDS to be entered in Quilt Con!!! It looks amazing with the squared border and the hand quilting was chef’s kiss to this masterpiece. Normally you don’t explain how you do it but I love how you did and in the little details of how you stitched it. Thank you for sharing yet another fabulous and fantastic work of art. I never thought I would hear you say this quilt is hard.🤯 Can’t wait to see what you have in store next! Much love and appreciation, Laura in KY 💙🪡🧵

Dave, this is an amazing quilt. I love how it turned out.
It's amazing Dave!!!
My first quilt was storm at sea. Only after I completed it did I find out it's considered a hard quilt! Don't let someone else's characterisation of a pattern put you off❤
You make a good point about the assumptions and gatekeeping of this quilt style. I made a modern double wedding ring with a black background, it’s one of my favorites.
WOW just WOW 😍 You made short work of a double wedding ring quilt that others, back in the day, would take months or years to make. Nice job once again💕🪡🧵
OMG. Dave your amazing. Video kept my interest as i grooved to the music . The quilt itself is the bomb. So much color and movement. You've got a new 70 y/o fan from San Francisco. Thanks for your hard work.
We learn by watching what you do. It's great fun. And you are didactical. Love your work and creativity. So, yes, you are a good teacher. Thank you, Dave dear! ❤
Love your "version" of the Double Wedding Ring Quilt!! Love the bright colors!
Ohmigosh, that quilty gatekeeping can be strong! I leavened to quilt with my grandma when I was 11, and the other ladies in her guild would always tell me that I needed more experience to try different kind of quilts. Especially curves. I need to let it go, but I’m still afraid to sew curves to this day!
I just found your channel a couple of days ago and I'm addicted to you and your quilt "techniques" :) I'm 77 and have been a traditional quilter for many years but I've always been a "rebel" deep down. I think that's why I'm drawn to you. I'm fascinated with how you figure out in your head what you want to do and then just do it. Bravo! BTW...I have the same sewing machine and love it. I've had mine for about 12/13 years and never had any problems with it. It's been moved with me from one end of the country to the other and I just clean and oil regularly and it sews beautifully. Yours sure does get a workout...haha :) Looking forward to what you will create next.
beyond fantastic, cant believe it took me so long to find your channel (: thank you for the honest and detailed look at your process, as well as some quilt history! i always thought paper piecing was hard, but as soon as i saw you do it it just clicked. this makes me believe that I can make this for me and my girlfriends future wedding. thank you dave!!
Great work and fabulous result! I noticed that you sometimes allow the same colour in several neighboring blocks, and that makes your quilts look a bit spontaneous, very picturesque and natural. You are a great designer, my respect.
Love your process. Your attitude towards tackling this project was wonderful. You truly are making it your own. Loved watching you make this quilt. It's beautiful.
Amazing!!!
Other than this video being off the charts artistically, I’ve laughed so hard with you Dave! Some of the things you say I totally get! This quilt is so ……… wild! I’m struggling with the word! Quite makes me dizzy but your talent is amazing!
I started a double wedding ring quilt when I first got married 40 ( ahhhh) years ago. I brought the project out of storage when my husband ended up in a nursing home and I worked on hand piecing the centers , cat's eyes and arcs together. I got about half way through it before he passed. I should finish it someday. It is a gorgeous pattern. Yours is far more colorful than mine!
You definitely thought outside box. I love it. It’s beautiful and fun.
Can you imagine hand piecing that. I have one on my long arm right now that was hand peices by an 86 year old women. She passed and her daughter asked me to quilt it. I get shaky every time I start. Her work is so beautiful I don’t want to mess up the quilt.
WOW! This is the first time I’ve seen the Wedding Rings quilt made before. Not something to try yet. Just started quilting since September 2023 and barely getting that 1/4 seam right 😂. You’re so right, it’s spectacular! It’s beautiful.
I have the rulers. I'm bought them thinking I could make the quilt and then I chickened out.😂
I've wanted to try one too. But haven't got the rulers... yet.
you can do it!! I have templates and working on my 3rd one for my son. I find them time consuming but once you get the hang its not as bad as the patterns with lots of points. I was amazed that he was using paper as templates. I would have destroyed everything in paper ha ha ha
So I did it the dumb way and precut all the itty-bitty pieces and expected them to sew together and form the right shape. The idea to paper piece came to me months later. BUT watching you gave me an idea to use my seasonal scraps to make a ring for each month. You are inspirational! Keep on quilting!!
Amazeballs!! Love everything about your Davetized Double Wedding Ring quilt!
Bravo my friend! Bravo! I've always seen double wedding ring quilts, but didn't know how they were put together. It was intriguing to watch it all happen. I love the way you do videos...keep it up! Also, I feel like that millions of pieces tiny house blocks quilt looked harder and more time consuming than this one.
I love your quilts, so interesting and fun. Bright colors always cheer me up and this quilt literally made me smile. You are such a talented artist. Thank you for sharing your process.
Where do I start?, This wedding ring quilt is out of this world! I love the scrappiness and colour, it's exciting! I want to go out and buy plain colour fabrics and blend it with my own to almost copy your style. LOL. I have a quilt in mind too . How you have affected me. 🥰 I sew , quilt, knit, embroider, and all self learned. I've gotten caught up with the stuffy rules and made beautiful stuff over the years. Then I find your channel and my mind BLOWN !!!!!!!!!! I LOVE how your mind works - the way you "davietize" everything, explain how you do "your" methods and just plain go for it. You emphasize that through your editing of your video. It's exciting ! It's freeing, Because of you and your videos I've finished! 2 quilts (70 x 60) since January 1 of this year. It's only just March and I'm already on my 3rd quilt, something for me that I started 8 years ago. But what has me excited is that it too is a crazy plaid shirt, paper pieced, odd ball large lap quilt, AND your brilliant mind and talent has crossed over through the screen and now I want to in my way "Davietize" it, LOL. and get it finished to use. THANK YOU Dave for sharing your talent and creative outlet with me, you have helped me grow and change my views on my own projects. Keep up the good creative work !❤
I absolutely love your quilt. The colours are wild. 👏 👏
Wow! I love how all of the colors work in this quilt!
Dave! That quilt is AMAZING!!! Thank you for sharing the journey! I would have ended up huddled in a corner in the fetal position after attempting that! Bravo - you have created another masterpiece!
You are an amazing quilter. You inspire me to quilt outside the box. Thank you.
I love your creativity and this quilt is surely a masterpiece. Keep up the wonderful quilty content.
This is my first time watching you, Dave. I'm amazed, inspired, awestruck! Thank you! ❤❤❤
welcome 😜👨🏻
Amazing color selection and pairing. Love it! ❤❤❤
