Cathedral Windows ?
#21
i made a cathedral window quilt and it took me several years to do it. i did mine the size that was used for potholders and used all colors for windows. i had some antique fabric so used that. i think i used like 60 yards of muslin in mine before i finished. my muslin wasn't very wide. at the time, they didn't sell the real wide muslin.

But the quilt Dena789 posted looks so much nicer. Sort of like a cover of lovely r.

One really nice thing about CW is that you can make any size project easily. I started out making the first 16 unit square thinking I would stop at a pillow top (like the wine colored one in my previous pictures). I was almost done that when someone asked me to show them how to do it, so I made another 16 unit square. I thought it would be easy to turn it into a table runner at that point. Then, I was asked to teach it in a class... so it just kept growing. Mine is now about a lap size top but, the really cool thing is, if I decide to make it larger, I can just start adding on to it again!
My base units each were cut at 8.5 inches with 1/4 inch seams so each 16-patch section would finish at 16 inches.

I have always wanted to visit Australia too (amongst other places) but seems that may not happen any time soon for me either.

You have treated the "windows" differently to the tut and I like your's much more. Hers appears to have solid "centres" (Australian spelling).

So if you can direct me to a tutorial or give me any tips, I'd really appreciate it!

I think that in the tute, she just hadn't finished all the middles. I believe her intention is to fill them them all in, as is traditional in CW.
I tried one today and LOVED it!! I want to rush out and get the white to get started!!

Thanks for posting the tute, I have read many of them and this is the first one that made sense to me at the point where the colored fabric was added and the edging was pulled over it and sewn down. I may have to give this a whirl at some point. It's a good way to use up some scraps or for a person who says "I want a purple quilt" for example, you could use a variety of purple fabrics in it and it would have a great finish with all the white to set off the various purples. My little sister may get a purple quilt yet, LOL!

I guess I didn't read it. Lolol. I agree though, her tutorial was very easy to understand, and being able to do it so successfully is really encouraging.
