Cathedral Window quilt – video tutorial

By popular request here’s a video on how to make a cathedral window quilt the traditional way.

The video is a bit longer than usual but this quilt is a bit more involved than your typical block.

My book Turnabout Patchwork

“Turnabout Patchwork. Simple quilts with a twist” is all about playing with blocks – making a block, slicing it up, and turning or repositioning the pieces to make a completely different block (sometimes two smaller blocks) to yield endless quilt tops.

  3. Hi Judith, I made a square piece as a sample not a block. You can add the squares into rows and then add a second row, and so on. Once you have a piece as big as desired you start adding the print squares to fill in the windows so to speak. I hope this makes sense. M6 Facebook page has photos of large quilts in progress.

  4. Magical and perfection. This is the neatest CWQ I have ever seen. Points, seams, sewing remarkable. Inspirational. The greatest illustrations. I want to get right in there and start this quilt now. Thank you, Teresa.

  5. My great grandmother used to sew these! I never knew what they were called. When I was a little girl, she’d sit in her chair with a little basket of supplies and would sew them together by hand. Thank you for your beautiful tutorial. I hope to make one soon in memory of Grandma Elrod!
