Eddie, I'm making a Cathedral Window quilt using your instructions, and I'm wondering if it's really necessary to stitch down the points as describe in this step. What does it accomplish? (What would happen if it weren't done?)
FWIW, I've been playing with window sizes just for fun. At the moment, I'm working with 13 5/8" squares, which fold down to windows that are ~4 1/2 inches - large enough to frame fussy-cut "pictures." FUN!
If/when you publish a book on Cathedral Windows, I suggest you recommend chain-stitching the first few steps.
Thank you VERY much for your wonderful tutorial!
