Cathedral Windows

Seems as if I am always multi tasking, lol. I hope this photo will inspire others to pull their UFO back out. Slow progress is better than no progress.

I would love to see what others have come up with using the CW.

I love your Cathedral Windows, Teresa. Do you know, is there any way of figuring out , how much white or muslin fabric you need? I would love to make one.

Thank you all so much for your generous kind words! It is truly appreciated!

Hopefully I can get moving on it again real soon and will be sure to get the updated progress photos up.

All I can give you is an extreme rough estimate because the guide I was going by was very wrong. it will also depend on what size your base square will be. I am using a 9.5" base square. Takes 16 of those for one of the "units" you see in my photo. For 6 of those units across takes about 10 yards. You might get one more unit with that much. I am estimating between 55 and 60 yards for a King (108" x 108") I am not sure what size you are wanting to make. I hope you find this info helpful. My apologies for not being more precise. PM me if you'd like. I would be happy to help if I can.
