    So, I found this really great fabric. I bought it to make a OBW. But I am also tempted to do a Cathedral Window with this in the window and the base being either black or green.

    So - Opinions?
    OBW
    Cathedral Windows
    Other

    It depends on the size of the flowers. IMO, if they're small (1/2" or less)- Cathedral Windows. Larger flowers would mske a gorgeous OBW. The fabric is stunning!

    Hmm, this is difficult to decide...so I ask myself-->which design do I like best?-->for me it's Cathedral Windows.
    But then, like others...do both!!!

    Unless your Cathedral Windows are very large, I would think that you would lose your flowers and leaves. JMHO - but very beautiful material.
