I loved your tutorial and I plan to make a CW quilt soon. My friend Cathy, her mother hand stitched one off and on for 3 years. She finished it before she passed away. Her blocks are very small. I have a pic of it in this post: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-88033-1.htm
Thank you for posting the tute.

I question the suitability of this pattern for a baby since it is so heavy??

This is the back side of the one on the machine now. The windows are not sewn yet.

It will be a few days before I can get a pic of the back. It belongs to my friend Cathy and it resides in her home. But I will get one for you to see.
The way I understood it: joining the squares together will create the straight lines on on the back, then the curved lines will be seen on the back as you add each "window".
Hand stitching this took Cathy's Mother 3 years with other projects during this same time.

Thank you so much for showing me the back! Just what I wanted to see. The back is very pretty too! What size of background squares did you use? I was thinking about using 10 inch squares. Do you think that would be too big? The tut used 8.75? I was thinking about buying some white layer cakes and using those. I hate cutting lol. Thanks for the help.
