We take 2-3 lonnnnnnngggggg car trips per year. I take hand embroidery along to do but always wished there was a way I could do some quilting in the car. Once I took my hoop and tried handquilting in the car, but found it awkward to do.

I saw this tutorial on the faux cathedral windows and thought I'd give it a try as we have a car trip coming up in about 10 days. I wanted to try it out before I got everything ready for the trip just in case I found I didn't like it.

I really like it even though the blocks aren't "perfect". :)

Here is the link for the tutorial:

And here is a pic of the first 3 blocks that I completed tonight. I made mine smaller than what they say in the tutorial...I decreased mine down to 3.5" finished because I have a LOT of 3.5" squares already cut in my scrap savers system (ala Bonnie Hunter), and because I think it makes a nice size to handle while traveling.

Those are all so pretty. What a great project. I can't wait to see how many you get done on your trip.

That looks like a winner to me! Maybe you will come home with a good part of a quilt done!! :D :thumbup:

Very pretty!!! I can't wait to see more of them :D:D:D

I like the look of those blocks, I would love to try them, good job and enjoy your trip.

Those are so pretty!

Very pretty!! A road trip would be one way to get alot done on a quilt!!

Your blocks are so pretty. Makes a nice project for your long trip in the car. Have fun!

I love them!! It's so nice to have hand work with you. I can't wait to see what you do with them!!
Have a wonderful trip :D:D
