Thanks for the great tutorial, Eddie! I've always loved cathedral windows.

thank you for the easy to understand instructions my mother made one about 25 years ago by machine but she didn't remember how she did it I want to try it

Eddie, I was amazed that you did quilting to start out with and now to find out you're doing a tutorial for a CW, blows me away. It's great. I'll be with you every step of the way. I did a CW pillow but I have never attempted to do a quilt. I didn't know this could be done on the sewing machine. My mother-in-law made a CW quilt but she did it all by hand.I'm interested in how it's done by machine ,so I can do one myself. Thanks bunches for doing this. I'm an old gal but I can still learn something new.

60" quilt width / 4" block size = 15 block width 80" quilt length / 4" block size = 20 block length 15 block width x 20 block length = 300 blocks Using an 8.75" raw block size to make those 4" blocks, you can get 5 blocks from a single cut width of fabric (WOF). 300 blocks / 5 per WOF strip = 60 WOF strips needed 60 WOF strips * 8.75" each = 525 linear inches of fabric needed 525" of fabric / 36" per yard = 14.58 yards of fabric So about 15 yards of background fabric for a twin size quilt. |
THANK YOU..... This give me the general idea of what I need.....LOVE IT !!!! LOVE IT !!!!

You did a great job and your instructions are very well done. I like to be shown how to do things and that was great. Maybe I will try that in a couple of months I got a few other things to do first. Thanks again. Dee

That is absolutely fabulous. I've always thought these would be too difficult to accomplish; they are so beautiful. Your tut is so clear and understandable! Thanks for all the pics; they help soo much. Beautiful choice of colors. Maybe I'll try a small one for a table topper or even some placemats; wouldn't those be beautiful?!?
