@Carla79... LOVE IT!!! Very cheery! In response to your PM about getting the center to line up: It's a matter of keeping it pressed/ironed through the process and proper pinning. I had problems with that at first, too. Let me see if I can explain itt. If this doesn't come out right, PM me, lol. I will put it here in case others are have a similar question about
lining up.

You have 2 small sewn together and your window in, and then 2 more sewn together with your window in. At this point
you have 2 separate pieces. Put right sides together so your window print is not seen from either side, and now will have 2 arrow like pieces straight up...Press with iron the arrow crease, when you pin those together to sew them, start withlining up where the windows meet in the middle first & pin. If this isn't making since, let me know & I will get a picture up. Also, if you are working w/muslin, press, don't iron back and forth. You would be surprised of how much that motion throws your measurements off.

When they get the "groups" working, I plan to start one for Cathedral Window so all those in the process of working on one can gather in one place. In the meantime, we will continue on this thread.
