Thread: Cathederal Window question

not sure if this will help -- it is probably easier to sew sections or blocks or rows together & then join them. i have one in progress, but i sewed it together a different way than the tute on the board. i started with a circle and drew a square inside where the 4" square is placed, then joined another circle to it -- then placed the 4" square inside of one by sewing flaps down [and in the process the 2 circle pieces are joined. it works ok, but the outcome leaves raw edges -- seems to look nicer if you follow the tute on the board.....

I started one w/ that construction too, several years ago. I never finished that one, this construction looks soooooo much better and easier.

Thank you all so much for your responses, and Macybaby for the picture of her beautiful quilt in progress. I really appreciate the link to Eddie's tutorial. Not sure if I'm an idiot when it comes to the search function, or if it is just a little screwy, but I put in "cathederal widow tutorial" and got next to nothing (I also just searched for "comic board fabric storage, and again got very, very little - and I know I've seen tons and tons of posts on that). Anyway, your links and hints have helped me immensely. Thank you all again, and I will (TRY) to post a picture of the quilt in progress.
