I simply love the cathedral window pattern. As the name suggests, it has been created upon the inspiration from the windows of the cathedral. The part I enjoy most is playing with colors when matching the fabrics.
The cathedral window pattern is a design that is super simple and can be produced by even the most novice quilter with some patience.
Cathedral Window quilt is not really a quilt. It does not need backing and batting and has no quilting stitches in it. It is a fold and sew technique for on-the-go project. You can make many beautiful projects such as pin cushions, cushion covers, wall-hang, table runner and even bedspread.
Right now I am in the middle of making new cathedral window cushion covers for the coming festive season.
It came across my mind to make a bedspread for my only daughter. The problem would be that the quilt, made by folding fabric, would be heavy due to the amount of fabric needed.
It is just a thought and it will sure be one laborious job. If that happens, it will be a real labor of love.
