FYI- If anyone wants to do this quilt, and needs more help, you can find tutorials under faux cathedral window AND it is also called a Tortilla quilt. Hope this helps someone....

I made a faux cathedral window for my grandson. I used denim for the circles and cotton for the squares. Flannel was my "batting" behind the square if you want it. Quite heavy without.

I made mine to fit a queen size bed and I used a thin cotton batting - it is very heavy but I know it will keep us warm ... I used my Singer 301 to piece and quilt it ....

I've made 3 to use as stadium quilts. I use batting along with a square of fabric. The grandkids love them!

I made one with no batting and it is heavy enough...
