catherederal window quilt

[grammiequilts]

I have an on going CW quilt it is all done by hand...so I take it with me on trips. we call it the camping quilt. Each block is finished and the blocks are sewn together. I use a double zig zag to sew them together. I have 150 4 inch blocks finished. A queen sized is too many blocks to anticipate. But it is good hand work for the traveler.

The Cathedral Windows book looks so wonderful. Much check it out. Quilters Haven in New Mexico has different way of doing it, can't remember the name, even tho I have it - ha. Good luck. The Catherdral window isn't hard to do, I have done samples at a class years ago.
