I'm pretty sure it would be too heavy as well, but I found this pattern which would give you the CW look and is made from jeans. I started cutting pieces for this but ran out of jeans and sewing machine needles. I want to do this so I'll get back to it eventually!

thanks for that idea sararachel I had seen that before but forgot about it..the more I think about it the more I think denim will be too thick to try and sew through to make the cathedral windows so I am still looking through my fabrics to see what would look good. Hoping to maybe start on Monday to sew if I can decide.. on what fabrics to use....I forgot to mention I like your color choices Teresapendino. Also looking forward to seeing what others create...
