Has anyone made a cathedral windows quilt using the machine-stitched method by Shelley Swanland? I first saw this method demonstrated several years ago on Simply Quilts and purchased her book. I'm very interested in making a cathedral window quilt but don't know if I have the patience to do it by hand, but I'm also wondering if the results of this machine-stitched method are as pleasing to the eye.

This link might be of interest. It is larger and done by machine.

There is a great tutorial on machine made cathedral windows on the tutorial section it is by Eddie, I made one, it was super easy.

Go to Tutorials and Eddie has a wonderful tute on Machine Cathedral Windows.

Linda,

i have been to her lectures twice at quilds. I bought a book and her sampler pattern. i have yet to try it. But i can tell you her quilts are beautiful and look wonderful.

one quild is hoping to have her return for a workshop that i will go to if I can.

I have tried the faux method and love it. Plan to make my niece a quilt using it:

cool

Ok, it's 12:30 am, but I HAVE to try this tomorrow morning!

I've made one cathedral windows pillow and I did it all by machine. I've never heard of Shelley Swanland though-I used a tutorial I found online. Here's mine:

I simply love doing it. I have made two practice pieces so far and they looked nice stitched by machine. We have posts showing some that are machine stitched and some that are hand stitched. They each look very nice. It is just an awesome pattern.

I just purchased both of Shelly Swanland's books - planning on trying them when we get back from vacation

wow, that is the10 minute block with a twist! thanks!!
