Cathedral Window Quilt

This is my Cathedral Window quilt that I have been working on literally for years!  My Mom gave the pattern to me in the 90's.  She passed in 2000.  It is all sewn by hand and not made in the new quick pattern some others use.  I can give you an easy way to do one if you care to have a pattern.  Please leave a comment.  Anyhow this pattern is made from 4 small squares joined to make one large one and then the printed material is sewn in by turning the overlap of contrast color on 4 sides.  Sewing by hand is very time consuming and I usually only worked on it in the winter when having it on my lap was not too warm-ha!  To finish, I just pinned on the rest of the lavender centers and will now make the window on them~about 40 squares to finish.  I really love this pattern and quilt and it has a lot of sentimentality sewn in because my Mom gave me the pattern.  Every stitch is sewn in love.  A detailed photo is at the bottom of this page.

   Yesterday after the night rain, the Gladiola blossoms had fallen over on their stem from the great weight of the flower.  Hubby clipped one and brought it in the house for me (smile).  One blossom fell off and I put it in a little vintage candy glass boot near my computer so I could enjoy it for the day.

Thank you for visiting and come again soon and often.  And if you would like me to post the pattern for a simpler version of the Cathedral Window pattern, just comment.

LOVE MY QUILT!

Just finished a crib size quilt top quilt 40" x 40".  I just love the way it came together as all my previous quilts were done by hand with thread and needle!  I am still working on 2 of them and it has been years! ha! I made this one in 2 days!  It is backed with pink flannel with white flowers on it.  It has quilt batting between the layers and the back was rolled to the front on all edges to make the border.  I really, really enjoyed working on this one.  Washed, it will be so fluffy and cozy!

I used unbleached cotton muslin for the plain squares and a package of precut color printed quilt squares 4 x 4 inches.  The flannel backing was from my stash and worked perfectly for the backing.  I would definitely use the pre-cut butterfly and striped/solid color squares again.  Just loved working on this quilt!

Offering this quilt for $45.00 plus postage of 8.00. PayPal link is in my sidebar.

Thanks for looking and please come again soon!  I LOVE CRAFTING!

(Please NOTE that this quilt has several buttons attached secured by strong quilting thread. If you feel that they are a choking hazard, do not use for children unless you cut the buttons off by cutting ON TOP of the stitch through the button.  Thank you!)
