    I recently attended a local quilt show and was so impressed with the stained glass quilts. I would love to make one. Any suggestions on how to get started?

    I will be looking for tips, too. Our church put in new stained glass windows and I want to make up a quilt using our window as an inspiration.

    My friend has 18" of her intestines taken out & I found this pattern for us to work on while she recouperated. Little did I know that it would be weeks before she was up to it but we did wind up doing it & I loved it. This one was very simple.

    that is beautiful!!Where did you purchase the pattern? And how do you attach the black bias?Do the patterns have something to follow for the placement?

    I wanted to do one too, so I bought a pattern at a quilt show and used my own fabrics. I made my own black bias to make the lead on the glass. This is a picture of the one I did.
