It looks deceptively simple, but I am wondering if it will be as fast or easy as it appears. I would appreciate input.
Take a look at Evelyn Sloppy's book "Frayed Edge Fun". There may be a copy at your library, or you could get it used at Amazon. The cover photo is of the Cathedral Window.
I would make about 3 blocks with fabric from an old garment. Try sewing them together to see if the quilt is heavy enough to suit you, and if the fold over "petals" aren't too thick for topstitching.
