There was so much bulk to sew with the batting in it. When you turn the curves down and go to sew them, you will be sewing 4 layers of fabric and 2 layers of batting. I couldn't get it to lay nice and match up like I wanted it to. I am going to do my Cathedral Window quilt the "old fashion" way where you make the circle and then place a square of the focal fabric in the center and then sew the curves down to secure it.

i did make a table topper for July 4th doing it the way Jenny does and it turned out alright.
I like your alternating squares. The one I'd seen before was all denim backing with various squares.
