Cathedral Windows
I'm thinking about doing a Cathedral Windows quilt. Seems like a project to do slowly over a long time, making the "windows" when traveling in the motorhome or just watching tv in the evenings. Made some practice ones that look pretty good, but I'm wondering if using a background material (the folded pieces) with a little pattern would have more interest instead of the solid material I used for my practice windows. Any opinions?

I think the main reason people use the plain muslin is because you need so much of it. Depending on the width of the fabric it ranges from 9 to 24 yards. (Depending on how large you want your quilt to be.) I agree a patterned fabric would be stunning, it is amazing to me the white on white really makes other colors pop.

Mine is in progress using muslim..Now that I have worked out all the kinks, if I ever make another one I would probably use a print...I am using a print when I make my hickory nut pieces..It's all a matter of taste
