My Mom taught me how to make cathedral window pillow tops over the phone in about 1988. I didn't know I was quilting! I just wanted to make some pretty pillows for a friends birthday and love the ones my Mom was making. I seem to remember we were on the phone for about a half hour while she told me step by step how to do this. I think I still have the notes somewhere. Well, it is many years later and I still have six of the pillows my mom made. I would like to put them into a wall hanging but for some reason my imagination just can't see to come up with anything really special. Do any of you have any thoughts or ideas? I would really appreciate your help.

I would de-construct them (take all the edgings and backs off)so you have six squares, then find a fabric that perhaps has all the colors in or use just muslin or even better use a solid that matches each square and put an attic
window around each pillow top, then join then together, two across, three down. now put a border around it and you have a wall hanging....

I love them. What I'd do is find some foamcore board of some sort, maybe something heavier, insert a square in each pillow top and then hang them as is. They are way too cute to alter in any way.

please, do not tear them apart!!

Keep as is. Arrange in a diamond shape , applique to black background. What a beautiful treasure.

I like GrannieAnnies' Idea. Please don't take them apart. You'll treasure them like they are.

I agree, don't deconstruct them. I would place them on a pastel background, stitch them down in the inner border, just before the ruffle, so the ruffle is loose, and make a wall hanging. Beautiful work.
