A Quick History:

Origins of the Double Wedding Ring Quilt Pattern

The double wedding ring design is steeped in a rich historical tradition dating back as far as the 15^th century. It is reminiscent of the “Gimmal ring,” a popular engagement ring in which the betrothed couple each wore one ring during their engagement, and then the rings were interlocked during the wedding ceremony and worn by the wife. The motif has even been found on 4^th century Roman cups and calls to mind the familiar Celtic knot motif in the Western World.

The Romantic Double Wedding Ring Quilt Becomes an American Tradition

Though the pattern was first published in the United States in the early 1920s, the quilt pattern can be found as early as the late 19^th Century. The Double Wedding Ring quilt pattern has long been a symbol of love and romance with its interlocking rings symbolizing marriage. The quilt was traditionally made by mothers and grandmothers for their children and given as gifts on their wedding day or anniversaries. Due to the popularity and romantic history of the quilt, many families treasure these quilts and pass them from generation to generation.
