Cathedrel window
I watched a MSQC video of a quick easy cathedrel window. I've searched the site done searches and can't find it. Does anyone know the link. It puts folded triangles on the corners of a four patch to make the window.
Thanks in advance if you can help.

are you looking for the video? it's here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akKU0zg-qaw
if you are looking for instructions on the technique used, here is an example... it's the 10-minute block http://siterepository.s3.amazonaws.c...1003134637.pdf

I too live in Texas and it is a lot hotter here were I live than in your area, just not as humid. I like to use polyester thin loft for quilts used in my area. Its going to be at lest 113 or hotter here today, because it is only 6:00 a.m. and the tem. is 83 degrees now.- when it is this hot or hotter at this time of the day-one knows it won't be cool during the day.

If you do Cathedral windows in the traditional way-and there is a machine stitching for it too, there is no batting the background squares are all the same color. Traditionally muslin. It is only a couple of layers of cotton and no batting.
Here are 2 links with a tutorial for Machine stitching CW. And by searching you can find many variations which aren't using batting.

Thank you everyone for replying and especially Quiltnan who found the video. Now all I have to do is cut loads of 5" squares and fold my triangles then sew together and quilt. I wonder how long that will take? Oh well must get started now I have the video.

I have tried to make a cathedral window, but have one problem. The first layer of folds meet in the center perfectly, but when I get to the next layer of folding the triangles into the center, the last fold is off center. Any one know why. Hubby says my large backings aren't exactly square, but the measure correct. This is frustrating, because I think they should all meet exactly.
