What care was taken to write this; true sharing because of the careful loving delight in making these. I am inspired to do this

Thank you

Eddie, This was so interesting! I always wondered how this quilt was made. Thank you for the information. I love the colors you have used.

Glad everyone has enjoyed this. I'm looking forward to seeing what you can make with it! :D

Hi Wanda,

Below is an additional pic that will show a little better how that arc is made. This pic shows that I have now joined those two rows of windows together (the row I had at the start of the tut along with the row that I created in the tut). As you can see, this creates a new set of window frames where the rows join together. Right now, they are just those two triangle "wings" from each row sticking up in the air which I now need to tack down the points on either side so that I have a square of a new "window". I have a blue glass fabric laying across it to give you an idea of where that window will be. Once I get those two points on the sides tacked down, then I would take the edge of that window and simply curve it over onto the top of the window glass fabric. These edges are bias edges so they have a lot of play in them to let you curve them like that. Does that help?

I'm guessing that due to the bias, the edges kind of curve naturally? I did the faux method a while ago, hand stitched and this was the case with those. :-D

Yes, they do. Once you roll that edge of fabric over and curve it then it's very easy to get the curve there because of the bias edge. Some people pin that curve in place with 2 or 3 pins while they stitch it, but I haven't felt the need to do that. I just hold it down with 2 or 3 fingers while I'm stitching along that curve and it does fine. Too, putting the presser foot down at the start of the stitching on the curve helps hold that end in place as you begin stitching along the curve.

Eddie this is the best tutorial that I have ever seen. Thank you. I have avoided this pattern because it seemed impossible. I am going to try it now.

I often wondered how this quilt was made but your tutorial was excellent.I may try this one day. Thanks.

Thank you SO much for doing this for us. I have loved that pattern
for years, but couldn't make much sense of printed directions.

Now I'm going to "copy" and "paste" this onto my desk top so that
I can refer to it again and again, till I really and truly understand it.

Give us a hint when you put this in a book and/or a CD. I'll be
the first one to buy it for myself and a granddaughter who is learning
to sew.

Awesome...guess what I'm making for my guild quilt show! Thanks for the effort and your generosity.

Thanks Eddie, my sister made a small one, all by hand. I never tried because it took her forever. This one I will try. Thanks.
