Cathedral Window Variation
 

I can't even begin to explain to you how relieved I am..... I started with one layout, but didn't like it so I finished it all the same. Was too late to undo the beginning layout. So I just use that part as the pillow end. King size on a queen bed. I sewed through all layers for more durability instead of the traditional way.
Pattern: Cathedral Window (Variation)
Base Squares: 576 by machine
“Windows”: 2,676 by hand
Fabric: Unbleached Muslin, 100% Cotton Blue Scroll

Fabulous! I especially like how you did the pillow part. I admire your patience in finishing this quilt!

wow very striking :)

beautiful work!!!

One of the prettiest Cathedral windows I have seen. The blue and ivory is so striking. I also have to comment how much I love your format of presenting by listing pattern, size, etc.

Totally agree. Beautiful quilt. Thank you for including the information in an easy to read format and without someone asking for it.

Absolutely love your quilt! Great that you didn’t discard the beginning but found a wonderful use for it.

it looks fantastic

Wonderful quilt! So glad you persevered to completion. I also appreciate the quilt stats!

That is a stunningly beautiful quilt. Your photo looks like a magazine layout.... It is just so perfect. I love the pillow top, too. That makes it even more beautiful. Great job!!!

absolutely lovely!!! i'd like to see the top design a bit better too.

It's beautiful and I love the way the pillow area is different but goes with the rest.

Absolutely stunning quilt, love it.

Beautiful!

I too love the part at the top for the pillows.

Wow I love it. I admire you for your work and sticking to this job.

What a beautiful quilt. Clever to make that cover for the pillows.

What a beauty :)

Love the pillow technique.........and the patience to complete this quilt. Awesome job.

What an awesome achievement! The part you started with that covers the pillows now was an inspired solution - looks perfect.

Thank you all so much for the kind words! Truly appreciated! I forgot to add a few info tidbits. My window fabric is cut to 2.5" squares. Base squares were cut at 9.5" (I can't remember the size of the finished folded square). I have 20/100 uncorrectable vision but refused to let it hinder me. I owe my perseverance to my husband who has been my rock and cheerleader throughout this process. Finished out at 102" square. Took about 50-60 yards of muslin.

Lovely! Nicely done!

Very, very pretty. I like that pattern.

Beautiful, beautiful quilt. I can't imagine piecing a king size Cathedral Window.

Sometimes mistakes end up being gems

What a fabulous quilt! Beautiful!

Wow! What a great accomplishment. Very awesome quilt!

Wonderful quilt!

Beautiful...well worth the time & effort ..jj

Very beautiful! I love that blue with the white

What a beautiful quilt. I love how you put it together.

Oh MY Gosh! That is a fabulous quilt, the colour , the layout with pillowtop is perfect,the number of hours must be incredible!

Gorgeous! I am making a batik one, only 50 squares completed so far :)

I think you enhanced the design by having the pillow part in a different pattern. Awesome job! The color scheme is elegant.

BEAUTIFUL and great creativity with the top!

Beautiful Love blue and white quilts. I have always wondered how much muslin a Cathedral window quilt takes.

That is gorgeous! I can see how it must of took you that long. I would never attempt to take on such an a huge project! You did fantastic to finish it!!!

One of my favorite patterns, absolute perfection!!! I love the spin you put on the pillow top as well...what a project, you have to be unbelievably proud of your accomplishment :)

Love your variation. Always wanted to do one but not into hand piecing anything except binding turned over to the backside. Love your colors as they are so simple but elegant in my book.

It's gorgeous! You did a beautiful job.
