Cute little quilt inspector.

Your quilt is very pretty! Don't give up on this technique...try it again and again using scraps and see what works best for you.

After looking at the tutorial, it appears that the binding is much wider than yours, but then the tutorial shows white on black, so maybe it just seems wider.

I agree with ckcowl in that the zigzag fabric seems to dominate and detracts from the cathedral effect a little bit.

I've been working on the 10 minute blocks using the cathedral window method on them. I found myself using a slim ruler to measure how far I fold back into the center, then simply iron the center and let the iron push the fabric into the corners. It seems to work very well, and the sides of those blocks are not on the bias. I find that I can push the center in quite far if I wanted to make the curves deeper.

Beautiful quilt! GORGEOUS kitty!!!!!!!!!!!

are you sure you have a catheral quilt. Looks like a pinwheel and is very pretty

Very pretty quilt. At least you tried a new method. The more you try the easier it will get. BrendaK

Love the shade of green and the colors of the pinwheels very nice, quilting good too. Kitty looks great in that shade of green!

Well, you may not be thrilled with your first attempt but don't let this stop you from trying again. I want to do this technique too, when I find the right quilt. Your quilt is fabulous with all those fabrics and I love the herringbone border. It creates a lot of motion to go with the windmills. The effect of the CW binding is subtle so it doesn't interfer or look at all bad in any way with the quilt as a whole. I love it!

Very pretty! I hadn't seen her tute on this binding, now I can't wait to try it!
