    If I take more than a month to make a quilt - start to finish, it is only because we have been doing home improvement jobs or something. I make one quilt at a time and finish each before going on to another, works great for me.

    Thats funny. I have several "One Year Quilts" and they aren't Cathedral Window! I'm afraid that one would be a "Ten Year Quilt" for me!! They are sure beautiful.
    Well the gal who taught the class said hers took one winter? We shall see.

    I am learning the Cathedral Window pattern now. I doing it slow so I learn it better. To me, it would be like a jeweler working on a diamond. Slow, sometimes tedious and brilliant when finished (not matter how long it takes!).
    Might be better to look at the square 'at hand' rather than the ones down the road. It will be an heirloom.

    I agree, this quilt will take some time to make, but will be well worth it, it's a stunning quilt.
