i was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me how difficult (if possible) this would be by hand.

thanks!

Wow, Cathredral Windows! I'd love to do one of those one of these days, but I don't hand quilt. There are many hand quilters on this site, I bet one of them could fill you in. Welcome!

thanks!

Just so happened, here's another thread on CWindows. Take a look here, they reference some tutorials.

Welcome from Roscoe, Illinois!! Good luck on your quilt - I love Cathedral Windows.

Cathedral Windows! :lol: I am also starting on one. I know there are those who say you can do it on the machine, but it is the ultimate hand pieced quilt! The joy of this quilt is that when you make it, there is no further sandwiching and quilting! It is done! It is a great quilt to practice your had stitching because most of your stitching is hidden, or at least not the focus of the quilt! The focus goes to the "windows" and it is so very versatile! I will check out the tutorial also becasue it has been a while since I have done one. :lol:
And Welcome from St. Louis! :lol:

Hi and Welcome from southern Indiana!

Welcome from NE CA. Glad you joined us. I can't help you with the cathedral windows quilt, but I'm sure someone on board can and will help in any way they can.

Hi Lacey and welcome from central part of Indiana
fancy that, Cathedral Windows was my very first quilt that I made ...way back in the 70,s and I did it all by hand. Can't say that I thought it was hard but didn't have anyone to show me how so would probably do a few things different if I were to do it again. I like to do hand work, but it is slow going so work on other things at the same time
