Thanks for the wonderful comments. The scrappy quilt was from a Fons and Porter Magazine...it's called Blue Streak (issue Nov/Dec 06). I started it over a year ago, but got tired of all the little (2") blocks that I had to put it away for a while :).
The Cathedral window is an actual cathedral window--not faux, but done on a sewing machine. It was actually quite easy, I don't know know how to do by hand.
