Just an FYI, as a newbie foraging into a Cathedral Windows is going where a lot of experience quilters fear to tread. Good luck, keep going. If you get this conquered you will have nothing to fear from any other pattern in your future. I'm going to try it myself one of these days..... LOL

There are 2 things I can think of that possibly may not be right. The video showed cotton material. What kind did you use? From my computer it looks like knit material. If so, try cotton. My quilting teacher always stresses pressing everything. Try that and see if it helps your sample. Let us know what you come up with and pictures. Good luck Nancy O.

Did you use a cotton fabric ? Because if the fabric has any give to it , it will not lay flat. It took me about 8 blocks to get it to work. It is a great block to do.
