All the rows are wonderful. You ladies have sew much talent!

I just love those tiny pinwheels! Looks great!

super job group 11.

still love angels miss g.

I got some long neck visitors to my house today! Nice fabric, pretty colors, beautiful animals..hmmmm

group 1, you have all set the bar "so" high. wonderful.

Yes. They were done on machine.

Wow! These are totally grand. All the quilts will be absolutely wonderful. Can't wait to see more. Gwyn

Gwyn can you please share how to make the simplified version of Cathedral windows. What size block did you start out with? How did you simplify it? Thanks, Sherry

I have Nancy's bright on black right now. The pic does not do it justice. Much brighter and really stands out in "real life". Hope my row does it justice. Cherie

I'm not Gwyn, but I can point you to a video of a 3D Faux Cathedral Window. Not sure if it is the same as Gwyn's but I have done that one and it works. Little fiddely at spots, so it takes a little patience (but so do regular CWs).

This will work, but I didn't use this way of doing it.

My background square and my white square are the same size. I fold the white square in half diagonally and stitch into the corner of the background square. After ironing, it looks like a HST except the triangle isn't stitched along the bias edge. I make 4 of these that all match, stitching so the white points are together in the center of the square. Now it looks like a white square set on-point.
Now I measure from corner to corner along the 'edges of the white square. I subtract 1/2 inch from this measurement. I cut a square this size and center it. I use a couple of pins to hold this piece still.

Now, gently fold the sides of the white square toward the center and curving the edge to look like the Cathedral window. I pin about 1/2" from each point and again in the middle. Then I iron. Finally I stitch close to the edge of the curved white edge. It takes a bit of practice, but even my first one was usable.

The squares I started with were 3 3/4 " I think. As you can see, I ended up having to add a couple of borders to make the block 12.5". Feel free to ask me any questions.

It is nice to see everyone's row. I like to watch the progress of everyone's row.

Here is my row.
I am in Group 7 - The Rockin' Rowers
My theme is Red, Black & White (in case you couldn't tell!)

I know how to do the cathedral window, I am working on a cathedral window quilt now. I do not understand this part of your description, "I fold the white square in half diagonally and stitch into the corner of the background square. After ironing, it looks like a HST except the triangle isn't stitched along the bias edge.( the part about stitching into the corner of the background square)" Are you sticthing on the half diagonal line in the corner? Can you put a picture up to show that part?

beautiful rows ladies!!!!!!!!

what else can i say but, WOW!!!!!

izabella will certainly love that new row. just too cute.

really nice 30's repro blocks.

lovely roses, roseysue.

really hot. this theme is on my list of must do quilts.

I am in group 16, The Sweet Sixteeners.

Sherry, I hope to take a picture of your row and what the row I make to attach to it. I made one block tonight. The rest of the blocks are being enlarged at PSU Printing Dept., so next week I can do a whole lot of it.
FUN!!
Thanks for the thread, Bookworm.
Mariah.
Group 3--"Three's a Charm," everyone has sure been quiet; is everyone working on their row??!
Mariah.

I feel the same way!!! Sooo happy I found this site!

Here is my first row hope the picture makes it on here

First Panel for my quilt

I've gotta ask... was that whole row of reindeer +sleigh appliqued on??? It looks terrific!

It's five blocks of broken dishes. With three different shades of blue with swirls of snow and stars. Yes I did appilque it on. And Thank you.

This is going to be a tough act to follow. I'm putting on my thinking cap. I look forward to seeing it 'in real life'

I'm in Cloud Nine group. This is my Civil War theme row

Stunning, I love the civil war & I'm doing the same theme!!

Everyone's row's are just stunning.

OH they are all so pretty..good job ladies!!

Is there a certain fabric you are using like "jo morton" and color or do you want it scrappy robertap?

Sherry, I am in the final stages of getting your row ready. I am wondering; would you like a Star as the first block and a Pine Tree as the last, with all flower blocks in between?
I made one block last night. I was going to post it but the storm was so active we turned off the computer early to prevent a crash or worse.
Let me know what you think.
