This is the front and back of a king size I just completed for my son. I didn't have a pattern, just the tutorial Eddie provided and looking at pictures. I don't have a bed/room/area large enough to lay it out better. This will give you an idea of the front and back views.

Very Pretty!!! I love the darker fabrics on the edges, it really frames the center beautifully! :D:D:D

Awesome! the background colors fade really nicely into each other, and I love the corner treatment and applique in the border. Your son is a lucky man. :)

Love the blues. Love the combination of fabrics.

Okay I will look at the tutorial for my next hand piecing. Maybe I can figure it out.

This was all done on the machine. The only hand work was sewing on the label.

Everyone, thanks for your kind comments.

I purchased the fabrics in February and completed the quilt on July 13. Hope you will share yours with us.

Kas 07-14-2010 01:43 PM

Fabulous job! And he can use it on either side. They both look great.

Your quilt is just beautiful, would really enjoy seeing a close up photo.

katier825 07-14-2010 04:16 PM

I really like how you blended the backgrounds from lighter to darker. Beautiful!

Very nice!

LeeAnn 07-14-2010 04:50 PM

I'm not a "blue" person but this quilt is by far the prettiest in blues I've seen. Stunning. I know I'm missing out when it comes to blues. You've given me reason to rethink the color. Kudo's to Eddie too.

pab58 07-14-2010 06:20 PM

Love it!! Love it!! Love it!! :shock: :thumbup:

That is beautiful, Irene!! I so want to start a Cathedral Window quilt. I think they are SO pretty. Could you please tell me how I can find the tutorial you referred to.

Again, a fabulous job!!

Hope you enjoy. I found the pictures and instructions easy to follow. I liked it because it is all done on the sewing machine.

mysacrifice 07-15-2010 03:46 AM

Wow, it is very pretty! I cannot imagine how much time you spent on this quilt, but I'm sure you spent quite a lot. It is beautiful.

quiltaholic 07-15-2010 04:42 AM

Great job and a lot of work. Thanks for sharing.

love2quilt... 07-15-2010 06:38 PM

That's quite a work of art! Did you quilt it on your home sewing machine or a long arm?

wvdek 07-15-2010 06:49 PM

Lovely, nice job.
