FYI- If anyone wants to do this quilt, and needs more help, you can find tutorials under faux cathedral window AND it is also called a Tortilla quilt. Hope this helps someone....

I made mine to fit a queen size bed and I used a thin cotton batting - it is very heavy but I know it will keep us warm ... I used my Singer 301 to piece and quilt it ....
