I started one about 25 years ago. For all those years I have had a pillowcase size piece completed. When my office moved to a new building last year I cut a piece and put it in a frame and hung it. I have had so many complements on it. Finally, as far as I am concerned, it is FINISHED!

This one is done all by machine -- found it in a cupboard just the other day and finished it. They are fun to do -- you just need to be accurate in your folding and press well.

My cathedral window quilt ended up pillow size. I keep saying someday maybe I will try again. I know there are some newer techniques than back when I made my pillow almost 25 years ago. At that time, a lady I was an acquaintance with had made 3 cathedral window quilts and was working on a 4th. After just making my pillow couldn't understand how she would want to make that many of them. She must have found it relaxing, where I didn't.

I've had Cathedral Window on my "to try" list for a long time. Seemed like a good pattern to make a small ring bearer's pillow (with scraps from the signature quilt). Well... I'm going to end up with a pretty (if you don't look too close) pin cushion and new respect and awe for those who complete a quilt in this pattern! I learned a lot and had (mostly) fun yesterday. Going to take a deep breath and start the pillow again.
I have made two CW quilts and loved the process but I don't think I'll make another one.
Both took me about 3 years to complete because I was working.

Thi is one I would love to make. I went so far to buy all the white fabric - it is a lot! - I cut a bunch of squares to start and even bought a few charm packs to use - and that is where is sits. Some day I will make the first one. But it will more than likely be after I finish hand quilting the Double Irish Chain.
