It’s the last Monday of the month so let’s learn a new machine quilting design! Rings in Rings is a beautiful quilting design that will help you practice echoing, travel stitching, and quilting circles in free motion:
Let’s learn how to machine quilt it in this short video tutorial:
As you can see, this texture is a bit intense, and yes, Rings in Rings is a bit time consuming to machine quilt. For this reason, I’d use this design as an accent in small spaces of a quilt rather than as an All Over design. The texture definitely grabs your attention and will stand out beautifully wherever you quilt it.
So what do you think of Rings in Rings? Do you like quilting circles free hand or between lines like in this design? Where will you use a design like this?
