Mini Cathedral Window Quilt All done by hand, 113 pieces, 42 2 inch squares as base of "mini" quilt. This is labor intensive. I started out with 4 inch squares, folded into 2 inch, curlededges for each window. Started October 8, finished March 8th. size: 11 1/2 x 13 1/2.
Pinwheel 20 squares, finished 7 inch squares. 160 pieces plus 4 shashing strips. 4 weeks machine piecing and quilted. overall size: 34 x 40 Grandmother's Garden hexigon. Top all hand pieced, floweretts 171 pieces, 28 fussy cut flower faces and companion swiss dot pieces, no count on joining pieces. 3 years to piece together, one week to quilt. over size: 39 x 44 Grandmother's Garden I cry each time I look at back. fabriic was "perfect size" but did not take in consideration that quilting makes the fabric "shrink" or reduce in width and length. I had to add materia PLUS the back fabric, altho no puckers did get twisted. 3 years to make top, one week to screw up the back. Whhaaaa. I cry. So glad to have binding done, that was the hang nail. Hand quilting the Cathedrial window. wow .labor plus, the back lighting show why it is called cathedrial. the picture does not give the best show of the colorful display with almost shear areas. |
so pretty, love your little quilts! great job!

3 rows of 3 colums equaled 6 inches square !! That is when I knew I was in trouble. My two friends had knee surgery. I needed something to have to do while sitting with them, riding the bus to get to them. Nice portable project. |
Thanks everyone. Feels good to have the bindings done, the tops quilted.. I have one on the creative board and one partially quilted. Sort of always have a few to work on. and always work on smaller projects than for a bed. Lap quilts, tummy time quilts biggest ever done. You think there is an ADD/ADHD problem? ha ha

WOW, especially love your Mini Cathedral Window Quilt, but all are just beautiful!!
|
Beautiful....and when you said you started with a 4" block for the cathedral...I just thought....OMG...I was having enough trouble starting with an 8"!!!!
|
You have been one busy person. Lovely pieces of work and so labor intensive.
|
I have always wanted to do a cathedral window. I know how much work they are but so worth the finsihed product. Love your quilts. I love traditional patterns. I'm making a tiny dresden plate, called a dessert plate, by hand with buttonhole stitch in blue on white. It's an in progress project.
|
All are beautiful. Miniature quilts make me think of sewing Barbie doll clothes. Harder than the bigger projects. You did a wonderful job.
|
What awesome work you do.
|
Wow those are stunning beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
|
All of your quilts are lovely!!!!!
|
you've got a heck of a lot of patience! wonderful work. love, love the cathedral!
