Cathedral Window quilt
1 Attachment(s)
I've been finishing up a bunch of UFO's, and was looking for a blue and white double Irish chain I finisheda couple years ago. Didn't find it but did run across this quilt--it needed to be joined in the middle and about 40 blocks needed to be completed. Finished it the same day I found it. If I remember correctly it took about 9 yards of white to make this quilt. It is all done by machine. The center fabric was really ugly but popped in the white. It measures about 40 x 50.

It's beautiful, I love the look of the cathredal quilts. Thank you for posting your picture.
|
very nicely done
|
Wow! You did a terrific job! I have always wanted to try this kind of quilt. I bet you are really happy to finish this UFO. The fabric looks lovely with the white.
|
That is Amazing!
|
simply beautiful. I know how much work goes into one. I made one about 25 yrs ago. so pretty
|
Very nice....
|
It is really beautiful.
|
Lovely work!
|
Love the red and white in the cathedral windows. I can't see that ugly fabric anywhere:)
|
Love it, that pattern is on my to do list.
|
Beautiful......maybe I should finish mine......but my windows are scrappy.....good idea using a huh? fabric in the windows.....so you surrounded it with the gray material? Interesting......
|
I have on in my UFO cabinet that I have been trying to get done too. You have a beautiful quilt.
|
Beautiful how your quilt turned out. And to think you used “ugly” fabric. I really like it even though it reminds me I wanted to make just a pillow and even bought a book; a UFO that isn’t even begun. So glad you finished yours and shared it.
|
Very pretty..........
|
That is very pretty.
|
i am interested in how you did the edging ??? i am working on a scrappy denim one....very slowly.....
|
I guess this is the right place for ugly fabric then because it looks lovely in your beautiful quilt. Check another UFO done!
|
Great job! I am currently making one by hand. A long process...
|
Beautiful quilt!!
|
what a nice discovery... and what a beautiful finish. Congrats on completing your UFO.
|
It is beautiful. Great job.
|
Congrats on a lovely finish.. So glad when I finished mine last summer
|
Beautiful quilt. I have wanted to make one for about 35 or 40 years years. I just keep pushing the thought back and making tons of others.
|
That is really pretty. I always enjoy Cathedral Windows quilts and have the utmost respect for those that tackle them. They are a lot of work but the results are so worth it.
|
I love your quilt. The borders are a great idea. Good job.
|
What pattern, I thought they were usually hand stitched, machine stitched interests me
|
Very pretty, I like the red and white.

I don't know about that floral fabric being ugly because it sure looks beautiful with that white background. Your cathedral window is gorgeous.
|
I live 2 color quilts, usually white with any dark color...and yours is very eye popping..

The denim one mentioned must be the folded circles over square of fab? Going to try that next..... |
A great quilt.
|
There is a tutorial on QB - don't know how to post the link, but just do a search for Machine Stitched Cathredal Window.
|
This is really pretty. Every time I see a cathedral window quilt I want to make one! Yours is great!
|
I have one of those in my UFO pile!! I love them and since I stumbled on that machine piecing tutorial, it's so much easier. Maybe I'll get around to finishing it up one of these days!!
|
Really lovely! I'm fascinated by cathedral windows, have done only a sample to see what it's like. I love yours! The center fabric looks like stained glass.
|
Great job and pretty colors
|
Looks like a terrific job to me. Love the white you used because the center does pop.
|
So pretty! It is on my bucket list. Hope my eventual quilt turns out as nice as yours. Just checked again. Not an ugly piece of fabric in sight!
