Cathedral Windows

cathedral windows quilt tests
I decided I wanted to try to make a cathedral windows quilt. I have been thinking about it for a few years now (I have a group on flickr I ad-min all about this type of quilt). I haven't started one yet. I just played with the technique today. These two blocks are pieced in two entirely different ways (there are actually four blocks that are making up each one of these) . Both ways have pro's and con's; I'm still looking for a version I like best. Both of these are entirely machine pieced. I like hand piecing, like in my grandmother's flower garden quilts; I just don't want to do it on this quilt. The two samples I made will probably end up as apron pockets or apron bibs. These two blocks, together, are about 6 hours of work from start to finish.


On a side note this type of block has a lot of folding in it like origami does here is a neat site all about origami that my father in law sent me in an email.

  2. A Cathedral Window Quilt is a big undertaking. I started one several years ago and only have it half completed. I decided I wanted to make it to fit my queen sized bed and be able to fall to the floor. I sew the base blocks out of muslin by machine but stitch the little flaps down over the colorful squares by hand. It is a very time consuming process but hopefully one day I will finish it. It is a very heavy quilt with all the muslin in it!
    Have a Blessed Day,

  4. Sorry I can't email a step by step tutorial in Portuguese because I don't speak Portuguese very well and my husband speaks and writes well but to do a tutorial he would have to know sewing terms and have the time to translate it. which he doesn't on either case. So as it stands the picture tutorial on my blog is what will have to do I will be posting a second part in the next 7 to 14 days. which will complete the tutorial.
