Cathedral Window Quilt Progress


I made a little progress on my cathedral window quilt. It is slow going. I am making blocks of 4 at a time and then I will arrange them and sew them together. I am thinking of keeping this diamond arrangement where diamonds of colorful windows will alternate with diamonds of empty windows. They will be hand sewn like the other windows but without fabric inside the openings. I have a little quiet at the moment so I am going to finish up the last window on the fifth block and start the sixth!

  8. I saw the photo via Sew Mama Sew and had to pop over to tell you how lovely this is! I've made a few before and would love to make an entire quilt, but that is a lot of work. So kudos to you!

    I got a handme down practice piece that my grandmother readied for the hand stitching but have been a bit to nervous to try.

  13. They are beautiful! I love the fussy cut centers and bright colors. They really do bring to mind the look of stained glass. :)

  14. Beautiful. All my efforts at Cathedral Windows turn out bulky and untidy.
