Yes, I'm going to put together a tutorial tonight on how I make these and will post it here on the site. These really are quite easy and probably the most fun thing I have done as far as quilting.

Haha...yeah, that's me. When I was 24. That pic was actually taken on the ferry between Dover, England and Calais, France. A friend and I went on vacation and were playing around Europe for a couple of weeks. It was a fun time! I was feeling kind of retro this week so thought I'd make this my avatar for a while. :D
OOO - I took that trip back in 1991. I was visiting my daughter and decided to go to Paris for a few days. Has a blast.

Oh that is going to be the most beautiful Cathedral I have ever seen. Eddie you have inspired me to give it a try. It is breath taking.
A warm hello from Washington state.

FYI, here's a link to a tutorial I posted on making Cathedral Window blocks while ago:

Morning Eddie,
Leave it to you to see the true colors a pattern should be made with. I love the idea of the leading done in the grey-green. Perfectly inspirational!

This will be a beautiful quilt when done. I used to do stained glass years ago.

I have a feeling it's going to be an awesome quilt!
I have a CW that the main fabric is pink. (Bought it at a yard sale for $35.00 WOW!!) Different, but you gotta get used to it. I prefer the off white. Will be very interested in seeing Eddies batik! Ellen
