    mock cathedral window:

    http://sunshinescreations.vintagethr...l-windows.html[/quote]

    I used the mock cathedral window tutorial once and made some blocks for a row robin. It is very easy. They came out ok, but not as pretty as the original cathedral window.

    btw good tutorials....anxious to see the rest of sunshine's when she posts it.

    Hi Robin - here is a link to my Christmas Pillow. I did mine by hand (but I really do like the look of Eddies) and was pleased with the results.

    So far you have gotten lots of good advice but if you have specific questions I would be happy to help.

    Those are beautiful quilt. I have never tried on. I'm a little intimidated by them.

    No reason to be intimidated because they are really very simple! They just look complicated but they are not!

    It's absolutely beautiful. In my research I've found so many tutorials....I guess I just need to get out there and try a couple till I find what I like. Thank you for sharing it's truly beautiful!

    Has anyone used the book "Cathedral Windows" by Lynne Edwards? I am trying to "teach" myself and have gotten myself all confussed. Also I am using another site using a different method from Hyena In Petticoats. I'm stuck on a step that just isnt clear to me using the book.

    I think it would be easier PMing than just rambling on and on...lol. Thank you in advance for any help!

    :) Robin
    Please tell us which step you are stuck on so we can help you. PM's are nice but deprives others of learning something they might be stuck on too. (My personal opinion.)
    Eddie was being modest in his update. He did an excellent tutorial for us. This is the link. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-35742-1.htm
    I use the method that irons the square (http://hyena-in-petticoats.blogspot....-tutorial.html )where Eddie's tutorial machine sews it. The photos in his tutorial are so good that his method was set in my brain. When I was doing my practice pieces I could see his photos in my brain and I knew just what to do.
    The challenge I have is keeping the window fabric from poking out from under the window frame corners. I am thinking I might use a basting spray (?505?) on that step.
    For anyone who has thought they would like to make a Cathedral Windows please take Eddie's tutorial and make a practice piece of a few windows. You can use your scraps. You will be amazed how easy it is and oh so beautiful.

    One of my practice pieces. You can do it too!

    Marsye, that was so kind of you to offer the website to everyone one the board, especially since you make up kits and sell them. What a generous person you are.

    I just realized this post was created in January. Sorry. I didn't look at the date created before I made my update.
