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 UA-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!
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
"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 😂
and no quilt pattern!
This is by far my favorite wedding ring quilt ever! Your quilts are NEVER boring!
Mine too. Jewel Colors are my vibe.
The gatekeeping!
Dave. Babes. I'm two minutes in and I already know you're going to slay this quilt.
Bravo Dave! I admire your willingness to just jump in and Davietize! Stunning quilt!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
My Great Grandma here in Iowa made a quilt out of great grandpa’s boxer shorts
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.
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!
Wow! The most original double wedding rings what I've ever seen. 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 👍😊
"Yes I do dare try" favorite quote from this video! You definitely tried and succeeded! Bravo!
This is EPIC!! You are fearless and a colour combo genius. What a spectacular quilt. Bravo!
Great video. I loved watching the pillows-to-footballs-to-circles chain piecing. A glorious circus; glad I came to the show.
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
Another amazing display of talent, entertainment, and mad skills !!!! Again I am SHOOK, DISHEVELED , AND DESTROYED !!!!!!!!!! LOVE THIS !!!!!
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!
DAVE! I have nicknamed you "The Mad Scientist of Quilting." Thsi is just AMAZING! LOVE IT!
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.
holy crap 😱😅👨🏻
WOW! Typical DAVE Explosion of Colors, Techniques & Quilting! Thanks for a fulfilled viewing experience! 🎉 😊
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.
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!
Ok I’ll just say this out loud: manifesting the universe to bring me a husband just like you ❤
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❤
How refreshing! Quilting ideas without boundaries!
I think your thoughts about quilts that are old and have survived for decades because they weren't used daily is right on point. It makes total sense to me that the basic quilts that families used day in and day out either wore out or were made into something else - another quilt, maybe. A magnificent job on this one - I'm glad you took on the challenge so that I don't feel the need to do it!! Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us.
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 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.❤
Love your Davetization of this pattern. Best version EVER! Killer music, this quilt is a masterpiece!!!
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!!!
AH Dave, this belongs in a modern art museum. This is exxxxtraordinary.!!!!
My first thought was that this is a quilt Alice would see in Wonderland. It's truly amazing. Dave, the Fearless Quilter.
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!
Curves are so very easy. Check out Sew Kind of Wonderful curved rulers.
Serious freaking genius.
I love your method of quilting. It's your style and who cares what others think.
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.
beautiful work...I love what you have done.
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
This quilt is spectacular. I am not overly fond of curves, but I have started a clamshell quilt to get over it. Maybe a scrappy wedding ring is next?!?!? I love that you squared the quilt rather than doing the scallops.
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.
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!
You are an awesome inspiration!
I can see how you made it extra challenging for yourself having to match the fabric rings... now the 'difficult' traditional pattern is the 'easy' version.😊
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 UA-cam Land! Because of your creative process sharing and showing what you do and why, you encourage your followers to be bold. Bless you!
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.

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
Just found you, Dave. You’re a breath of fresh air in the quilting community! ❤
Just WOW! This makes me think of a Kaffe Fasset quilt done with a spin, a twist, a roll in glitter and a fancy little dance with a big beautiful grin at the end. You are fearless!
Love your non-traditional quilt from a very traditional pattern.
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.
It's amazing Dave!!!
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!
Who knew quilting was an aerobic sport!
I love the fact that you travel around with that grand whole quilt! Great job as always🎉
Who else but YOU can Davify a double wedding quilt to perfection?!?! Love it all ❤
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!
Love your “Story” quilts. No one does it like you
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.
I have been working on mine a year now, but still not done . It is the hardest quilt I have ever done, but I am glad I have challenged my self to do it. I will finish it soon. I love your version!
I’m not a scared of no fabric is now my motto
Kudos to you! And thank you for inspiring the ole can-do attitude! Your quilt looks fabulous! Bravo!
I didn't have any doubts that you would make an outstanding quilt! Great job!
Wowza!
This is my longest standing UFO - I'm encouraged to finish it after watching your video. I took a class and we were taught to piece it differently. I'll have to look at the instructions again to recall the differences. Thank you for sharing
Awesome! I don’t think I would have enough patience to do this but love seeing yours.
I adore this video on all fronts. I loved hearing you call out exclusionary words. I never thought of them before. The quilt is divine. I really look forward to every other Tuesday. Thank you.❤💐
Oh my! This is fantastically terrifically amazing! The colors are so energizing. I hope it never sees the inside of an attic trunk but is lovingly cared for and used every day.
Wow! Never wanted to make a double wedding ring quilt because they looked too "old fashioned" to me. You have inspired me! Love it!
I watch your videos for the fun way you design one of a kind quilts, Love your creative mind. Can't believe you took a traditional block and made and completely untraditional quilt that turned out so brilliant
Amazing!!!
You are a QUILT WARRIOR! This quilt is still on my bucket list, thought I'm in possession of Wedding Ring Quilt made by someone many years ago.
As always nicely done, I like how you straightened the sides to make it squared. Davetizing it is the best!
Curious about the back. Fabulous work.
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! 👏🔥🎉
Love your analysis of this quilt and your questioning of said prior writings.
I love, love, love, love this quilt! I have been wanting to make one for years....I have all the rulers and several books and patterns for this quilt. You have inspired me Dave! Thank you so much for sharing! I love your style of teaching!!!
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!!
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.
At the beginning of this one... "Yes! We can do this!!!".
At the end... "Yeah! Dave did that!" lol
I'm gonna stay scared of this one. Yours is amazing!
I love the way you don’t try for “tasteful” - like the centre colours aren’t all distributed so they don’t land up near each other, the crash of several same colour centres really works.
I could see, as you laid out the arcs on the design wall so they looked like they had white backgrounds, why that is a popular, but yours is Davetized!
Is this my new fave? It might be, but I always say that!
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.
Quilt History - I listened to your comments about the number of fabrics in a DWR. I wonder if some of the first ones were made from fabric scraps from clothing from the bride or her family. That would have made it very special and full of memories. If the couple were both from the same area, alternating rings from fabrics from the bride's side and from the groom's side. That would have been especially meaningful for a new couple.
You must enter this quilt in shows. It's imaginative, daring, brilliant and, what makes it even better is the story of how it came about, your research, your fabric choices, what you're learning along the journey and your beautiful courage.
That is the most awesome quilt, I absolutely love it and I now know that I also can tackle this pattern. I especially like how you sewed your arches onto paper first and trimmed later. Made me realize that I too can make a double wedding ring quilt, thanks Dave
I enjoyed hearing what you read about the double wedding quilt.
Amazing work as always. I laughed out loud for a solid minute when you realized just how much work this thing was going to be and then said 'good'! I would have loved to seen your mother's reaction to this.
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. 🔥🔥🔥
Well done Young Man! This is an awesome quilt and thank-you for letting us follow along on the journey!
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.
I love that you paper pieced the arch. I did mine all hand pieced and hand quilted. It was not easy , but a work of love. Also I loved the lay out of yours.
You definitely thought outside box. I love it. It’s beautiful and fun.
The quilt is drop dead gorgeous!!! Bravo!!!
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!
Not a fan of eyeballs, but without them, you have thread spools!
Love your content. Thank you Dave!
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.
Wow! I love how all of the colors work in this quilt!
This quilt and your talent have me in awe!!! I am doing a double wedding ring because you told me I could!!!
