Correct me if I'm off-course, but from what I can see from your photos, this is NOT the 10-minute block, which is 4 squares with one inserted in the middle = 5 squares, but rather a background of 4 squares flat and 4 squares folded in half, one per flat square = 8 squares.
The "stained glass" insert is placed on top of the 4 folded half-squares in such a way that the folded edges can be rolled back to create the "window" and reveal the base square.
If done this way, you can distribute the design randomly over a larger background, as you did in your second photo. Very, very pretty!

I'll put together a tutorial. I just don't have pictures of some of those beginning steps, so I'll have to do it and take pictures, so I can create a tutorial. Give me a few days.

I for one will be watching for your tutorial. You did a great job with the photos and the links that others posted were helpful too. Thanks for putting me on to this. I have toyed with doing a cathedral window quilt but did not think I had the patience for it. Your way would work for me, I think. Thanks!!!

We visited Missouri Star Quilting Shop this summer and Jenny went through several tutorials with us right there. It was wonderful. The latest one that her daughter came up with using precuts was the fake cathedral window. It was so new that they hadn't created a tutorial for it yet.
What do you think?
