That's lovely. I like the look of Cathedral Windows, but I don't think I'd have the patience to make one.

Wonderful. Are you just using muslin for the main material? and starting out with a 9" template as in the tut? Also do use a regular stitch length to sew the "curves" down. Thanks for enlightening me!

I started a cathedral window many years ago in Christmas fabrics. It go to the pint that I only worked on it during the holiday season, but haven't pick it up for a long time.
I'm working on it in my avatar picture.

Are you doing it all by hand???

I sewed all the muslin pieces together by machine and doing the turn backs by hand. Mine wasn't going to be very big...I'll probably never finish it.
