Hope I can explain this so everyone can understand.
Muslin is 7 inch square and windows are 2 inch trimed down later.

Thanks for the tutorial. BTW, would you put batting under the blue/floral fabric? What does the back look like when you are done?

Your tutorial is excellent. I have not tried this method but sure looks like fun. I do enjoy catherdral window quilts. Thanks so much again. :thumbup:

Thank you for making this so clear. I love the cardboard for pressing idea.

Interesting process. I make my squares differently but the outcome seems to be the end result appears to be the same.
I am in the process of making my second one for my daughters wedding present.

I was taught by a very elderly lady who lived in the appalachian mountains of Virginia. Interesting how patterns were created with a little different twist to them.

Thank you.

no batting

Thank u 4 the tutorial, your Musline looks thick. or only in the picture?

I love this pattern!! You did a super job. thanks for the tute!

That is very nice.

Thank you so much for your clear tutorials. I find it very clear and like how you stitched the windows. This is on my to do list for sure. For practice maybe I will start with a pillow top.

Great tute. I need to start one of these. Would be great for motel stays and tv watching.

I am a fairly new quilter and I have only done very very simple quilt patterns - large center block with borders all around to make the size I want and hand quilting. Is the quilt finished after you sew the pieces together or do you put a backing on it? I am seeing pink and greens in those little panes if this isn't a difficult process.

Thank you

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I plan to make one some day so I will bookmark this for reference. The quilt is so beautiful.

Lots of hard work.... looks nice.

Great tute! You have made it very approachable and doable.

Thanks for posting!

Your tutorial is great! That is just the way I make mine with one exception. I make blocks of 4 instead of rows of 6. Same difference. Then I put the 4's together for a larger block. Then I connect those larger blocks. Mine is the size of a twin bed now and it gets heavy to attach to. I have few times to pick up the large piece by doing it this way.
I think your photos are wonderful.
Ladies there is no batting. She showed all steps here. The backing is in the final photo. It is quilted as you go. Amazing how heavy it is. One of the most beautiful quilt patterns ever, to me.

Excellent Tute! Thank you so much:-)

Muslin is thin but it is folded upon itself twice. but not sewn or pressed down, very 3 dimensional.

That was wonderful. thank you so much. I need some hand work to do when I am somewere that I can not take my machine. that was very nice of you to do that for us. Dawn in Waco

You can start with any size square. you do need 2 squares to make a window. When the window is sew in you are done no backing or quilting. pink and greens would be very pretty.

Honeebee,

Your quilt is awsome, you are doing a great job. I tried not to use the same fabric twice, may be that is the color difference you see. one nice thing with this quilt you can make it any size you want. I am not adding a boarder to mine so when I decide it is the right size I'll be done. Pat

Bookmarked. This the best tute that I have seen on Cathedral Windows. Love them. I made a pillow for my DD's MIL the first Christmas they were married. It took me forever. Really want to do another. Thank you.

Tried other methods but couldn't get it to turn out correctly. Will definitely try this method. Going on a motor trip and this may be the take along project.

nine inch squars. does that make your windows bigger too.you didn't say what size your windows are. I think they are somewhere around 2 inches. how much muslin do you need?

Thanks for the tutorial. I have a bolt of white muslin I bought in hopes of making one with only blues for thte center square. I was going to research different methods to decide which is best for me. I will definitely bookmark this one!

Any other ideas out there?

Yes a 9 inch square makes your window bigger. Have not made a 9 inch one so don't know window size. for my 7 in. squares I cut a 2 inch window but trim it to about 1 3/4 when I sew it in. I do not measure the triming just eyeball it and lay it in place.

Great tutorial. Thank you for sharing with us. Have put this in my pages.

Thanks fo tutorial. This so much clearer than trying to follow instructions in magazine. I tried once from magazine with linited sucess, but I'm bookmarking this to try again because this is much clearer. Thanks again.

how do I book mark this. can you help thanks

BEAUTIFUL!! Too much work for me, though.

Just click on the word bookmark on the left side of the screen and then click save

You did a great job explaining!
This is one on my list of quilts I want to make.

Thank you! Gorgeous quilt and great tutorial.

Great tutorial! Thanks

I have the two twin-bed sized Cathedral Window spreads my mother made completely by had during two winters they spent in So. Texas, I simply love them but haven't a bed in the house they fit on unless I use them somewhat as bed runners. I know the work you've put into your lovely quilt and know you will cherish it. You should be very proud of it as I'm sure there were several times when you thought there was no end in sight.

Absolutely gorgeous... love this... My girlfriend has one that her mother did. Her mom tried to explain to me how to do it but I couldnt understand what she meant... the pics are great and make it seem so simple... TFS!

I know it can be time consuming, but at least when you have it all together it is finished, no batting or quilting. It is beautiful. It is a good way to use up a lot of your scraps for the windows. Your tut is very clear. Thank you very much.

Morag... Will you tell us how you learned to do it?
