Cathedral Window Quilt

[angiem2]

Hi - I thought I'd post this here, but I know a few of you have seen it over on HT>

Some of us are trying out the Cathedral Window quilt pattern starting next week. This is not a swap, just some of us trying whatever size in whatever color we want. And encouraging each other.

These are good instructions with photos. I'm not going to be putting buttons on mine. There are other instructions on the internet if you decide to give it a try and want another point of view.

So. just thought I'd share....

Years back when I was more patient, I used to make these, Angie. The neat thing about them is they also make beautiful pillows if you keep a color theme in mind. That way in case you get bored with the project, you can still make it into something useful. :)Deb

Deb - we are just doing something small. Coasters, placemat, or pillow top....
Just giving it a try.

Be careful. They're addictive. I've wanted to do a full quilt but I HATE cutting out the original squares. I did a dress for dd one Easter and had cathedral windows along the skirt and on the sleeves. It was beautiful!

It was sort of stained glass looking. Bright-ish pastely-ish colors. They were "over dyed" and sort of splotchy. I know I kept the dress but I don't know in which trunck it's in or I'd take a picture of it for you. If I find it I'll do that.
