Cathedral Windows

One of the first things I ever quilted,

many years ago,

was a Cathedral Window table runner

for Christmas.

I actually made a number of them, all by hand,

and gave them as gifts.

This has been one of my favorite blocks since then,

but for some reason I never made it again....

Until now!!

The other day I watched this video

and knew I had to try it.

I had just purchased a charm pack of  fabrics

from Free Spirit and

knew these would work well.

Instead of using the 5" squares,

I cut them down to 2 1/2" squares and 

pulled some gray scraps from my scrap basket

and cut those to size as well.

Here is what I have so far...

I played around with the squares and layed them out this way,

but quickly changed my mind.

 (I know you can't really see the "fun" fabric,

but I put them in blocks of four prints each.)

They needed to be randomly placed.

I've sewn them into two's and will continue sewing the rows together.

 

 

I think I see a pillow in my future!

Happy Quilting!
