Congratulations on jobs well done! I would dearly love to make a cathedural window quilt. It intimidates me, but seeing yours gives me inspiration try it.

Back is identical to the front. One thing I have learned is that I must take pictures as I go. When I get a chance I will do a tutorial. ann clare

Have a look in tutorials. Eddie has a tutorial identical to miy method except he uses machine and mine is hand done for no other reason than I am not good on the machine. Am getting better. He has done a wonderful job. ann clare

I have always loved Cathedral Window quilts and decided I should try one... I looked at everything I could find for instructions. I chose the method of sewing 2 ends together , opening that up matching seams and sewing that, leaving an opening to turn ( does that make sense)... anyway... now I am having trouble getting my points pretty... seems 2 are good and two are too bulky... I did open my seams and press them.. Any suggestions for perfect points. I am also hand sewing. Any enlightenment would be appreciated.... ( oh, I used muslin, and I am thinking maybe it is just too course to turn into nice points) Quilter 1234

How did you do the quilt as you go without sashing? The only quilt as you go methods that I've seen require sashing.

Love all quilts that have scrappy riots of color and your's are no acception. The Cathedral window, if looking for a home, can come to my house anytime.

Ann Clare,
Your Cathedral Windows Quilt is so beautiful. You gave me the inspiration, I went to the website for the pattern and have started learning the pattern. I never, ever, thought I would be able to create something so beautiful. I am using .50cent a yard material to learn on and it is turning into a work of art with each window I add. I won't post again until it is finished but I couldn't wait to share my excitement with you.
