If you would like to make a quilt that gives the illusion of rings, but doesn’t actually have any curves to piece, this pattern is gorgeous. Simple nine patches and flower blocks set together in a way that creates a circle pattern without any curves at all. The fresh modern look with a very traditional wedding ring inspiration. This quilt still requires accuracy, but will not test your skills the way curves do.
