Hi Obsessed....

You have the distinction of being our #1 first poster of Laura's Cathedral Window. Congratulations! It is a beautiful block. I'll get my camera going and post mine soon. This is a fun technique and I am so-o-o glad we are attacking it together!

hugs, Jupiter

I don't think it really matters though, because I plan to sash and quilt these blocks into a wall hanging and that will keep them secure.

Anyway, this went together much easier than I thought it would - although it was time consuming for a 6 inch block! I had fun and I'm pleased with how it came out!
