    cathedral window finished finally

    seems like I've been working on this forever...before you ask...I'm being totally selfish and this is not a Shriners donation...I have to keep it at least for a little while to look at it. I am including some photos of how to.cathedralwindow.jpghowto.jpghowto1.jpghowto2.jpghowto3.jpghowto4.jpghowto4.jpghowto6.jpg
    These photos are not in order...start with a square of white..I used 8 1/2 inches.
    Then fold like an envelope and sew triangles together.
    Then add on to them for rows.
    Then put squares of color on each triangle (mine are 2 1/4 inch)
    Then fold the edges around the colors and stitch down. I used a blanket stitch.

      The glory of this quilt is that when you are finished stitching down your little colored squares, youre done.

                  I've always loved that pattern but have been too afraid to try it. Love what you did.

                    Now it will be the colors of my bedroom. Got to get some new curtains. I know I could make them but you know what...curtains are so cheap to buy I can't justify the cost of good material

                        That is beautiful and such an interesting technique. Enjoy your very own quilt. It's nice that you made one just for you.
