Here's my WIP. This is the first time I've done Cathedral Windows. So far...so good I think!

LOVE IT!!!!

I totally agree...it looks great. Good job! :thumbup:

Holy cow. You are talented. :-D That looks great. I have 3 windows in my kitchen that would look very nice on. I can send you the demensions. :mrgreen:

very pretty birdie, i want to try that too. have to finish my yo yo first though. betty

How pretty it is turning out to be. You have a good eye for color, beachbirdy!

So pretty! You must have a whole lot more patience than I do :)

That is beautiful. I love cathedral windows, but it looks so difficult I have never even looked at a pattern. And don't tell me "it really isn't that hard," because then I'll have to add another quilt to the someday list!

Seriously, you are doing a fantastic job on this. I can't wait to see the finished product. Your colors are so cheerful. Will you be using unique fabrics in every window or will you have repeats?

I LOVE your fabric choices. How large is it going to be?

Its going to 44" wide and I'm not sure how long yet. It's actually not hard at all...at least the method I'm using. I am doing it by machine as I don't like to hand sew. I'm also using a fat quarter bundle call "Nest" by Tula Pink. There are 32 different ones so I'm just going to use all of them randomly through out. I am making it for my Mom, she picked out the bundle not knowing the name...she just liked the colors. The funny thing is it is of course bird related but not real obvious but my name is Robin and I call my sewing room The Nest...too funny! I'll post more pictures as it goes.

It looks beautiful. You're doing a fantastic job with it!

Gorgeous! Every time I look at the instructions for these, I just get a headache! Maybe I'll just start with something small, llike a pillow.

I've been wanting to do this pattern but don't know which book to purchase to follow. Any suggestions on where to get easy instructions?

You are doing an excellent job. I like the colors very much. It will be beautiful when finished.
I started a cathedral window many years ago in Christmas fabrics. It go to the pint that I only worked on it during the holiday season, but haven't pick it up for a long time.
I'm working on it in my avatar picture.

That's really pretty!
I've been wanting to tackle Cathedral Windows, but for some reason it scares me.

These are the best instructions I've found. I also have a book but I wasn't crazy about it.

Are you doing it all by hand???

Wow, I'm impressed!

Very pretty!

Looks great!! I would love to do one of these.

Beautiful :!: :mrgreen: :!:

That's lovely. I like the look of Cathedral Windows, but I don't think I'd have the patience to make one.

Wonderful. Are you just using muslin for the main material? and starting out with a 9" template as in the tut? Also do use a regular stitch length to sew the "curves" down. Thanks for enlightening me!

Thats beautiful and looks hard to do.

Im not using muslin. Its a tone on tone swirl. I'm using the 9" templet but I'm cutting out 10" squares. Found that works really nicely. I do use a regular stitch length. It's actually easy and fun to do!

Beautiful work

Your windows are gorgeous, thanks so much for the link :-D You have given me the inspiration I needed to put this on my to do list :-D

I sewed all the muslin pieces together by machine and doing the turn backs by hand. Mine wasn't going to be very big...I'll probably never finish it.

That is beautiful. Great job.

very pretty

looking real good keep up the good work

Love it.

I am lovin it...was it hard to do?
dee

It's coming along beautifully! I've always loved Cathedral Windows. Your mom is going to flip!

Beautiful! Is this going to be a large quilt? I have only used this pattern for a pillow many years ago. Show us your progress, please.

Love it. I've got one in progress that I'm hand sewing.

I have many sunbonnet squares to put together. All appliqued on my embroidery machine. Wondering about the size of block you used in the darling quilt on yur profile.

Oh my gosh that would make such an awesome valance!! I was thinking that I need to make some pieced valances for my bedroom this spring. I am planning on rearranging the entire room when my husband takes the boys to Birmingham on a scout trip later on this month... valances would be fantabulous! Thanks for the great idea!!

I would love to do a cathedral windows project but also have been intimidated by it. Yours is great inspiration! It is coming along fantastic!

You are doing just beautifully....very pretty fabric...can't wait to see it finished.

Fabulous! You go, girl!
