The Story of Double Wedding Ring Quilts




This is indeed a strange sounding name for a quilt and takes its origin from an equally strange mythological story. The story tells of a man who was to marry his beloved but due to a terrible war the man was injured and took a lot of time to recuperate in a hospital. Hence, the wedding was delayed but the love between the couple was as strong as ever. On reaching the home of his beloved, he told her that he did not have a wedding ring to give her. In despair the poor girl turned to her grandmother who very affectionately told her not to worry as she would give her a special quilt as a substitute for a wedding ring and she called it the Double Wedding Ring Quilt. All went well and the strange but moving story involving the double wedding ring quilt soon gave birth to the brand name quilt design today known as the Double Wedding Ring Quilt.


The Double Wedding Ring Quilt is essentially an appliqué quilt consisting of a patchwork of bright and very often flamboyant colors. The patchwork actually consists of different fabrics of different colors and is hence unlike any other quilt. It is very often referred to as mosaic of fabrics just as cut and pictures of various types are pasted on chart paper to be adorn one’s bedroom or classroom. Today, many people with a creative sense of imagination use Double Wedding Ring Quilts not only as a bedspread but also as a sofa counter due to its multi-colored look and feel. This kind of quilt adds that special refreshing glow of color and brightness to an otherwise gloomy setting. In fact history tells us that the Romans of the 4th century used the double wedding ring quilt as a cover for their expensive cups.
