Cathedral Window Quilt


It's not very big, just big enough for a doll cradle but it's my first ever try at a cathedral window quilt. It was fun and challenging and I did 98% of it on a treadle sewing machine. There are only 15 blocks which created 22 windows.


If you're interested in trying it yourself, you don't need a treadle sewing machine. In fact, it's thought of mostly as a hand stitched quilt. Here's a link to make your own gorgeous quilt.


This was one of my better corners, handstitching might have made a big difference overall, that is, a better looking quilt. Say, you could do this while watching Glenn Beck!
