How to make a cathedral window quilt video tutorial

[@Kate98755]

how do you the sew blocks together ?

[@teresadownunder]

You have to think about the demo piece as a finished quilt. So you do a whole quilt with as many white pieces as you need, then you add the prints and then you top stitch all the prints. I hope this makes sense

[@Kate98755]

@@teresadownunder thanks for the explanation😊

[@francessadler6878]

Thanks for asking Kate, I was wondering the same thing. Would be a lot of work but so worth it.

[@teresadownunder]

It’s a project to do in small doses

[@sallymerrell2558]

I absolutely adore the background music. Very soothing and easy on the ears, opposed to the obnoxious music other sites play.

Thank you

[@nancystill5114]

Love this. This is exactly the way my Grandmother taught me to make cathedral windows about 50 years ago except all the sewing was done by hand. I have a partial quilt made that took months to make and now I am inspired to finish it. Thank you so much.

[@teresadownunder]

That’s great. Happy quilting

[@delinaquilter1418]

Working on a cathedral quilt for the last few years -- all hand stitched. Hope to replace one my daughter once had that I made many many years ago and the dog chewed up.... Always loved this pattern. Nice to see a machine sewn version!

[@teresadownunder]

Wonderful!

I'm wondering to see a handstitched, could I?

Teresa, you melt my heart - I love the Cathedral Window and you've made it much easier to accomplish. Thank you!

@@teresadownunder I was going to add that Elmer's glue (school glue) could be used to hold down the corners of the squares as you sew the window.

[@teresadownunder]

That’s a good idea. Thank you

What an ambitious project. Way above my level of confidence.

this popped back into my feed, 2 years later…i forgot about this, think i’ll make some blocks….start small, a lap quilt…or baby quilt…it’s a lovely design.

[@teresadownunder]

[@redhotsweetpotatoe]

So pretty and, as usual, you make it so easy to follow by breaking it down step by step. Looking forward to making this using scraps for a pillow before tacking a full size quilt. I LOVE this design.

[@teresadownunder]

Glad you feel confident enough to put the tutorial into practice 😊

[@ruthnellputney2451]

This is wonderful -- I love the look of cathedral windows but have been utterly imtimidated until now -- thank you SO MUCH!!!

[@teresadownunder]

[@MamguSian]

Genius! I made cathedral windows years ago but never knew to turn the edges under, and using that template to get them straight and accurate is a wonderful idea. 🥰

[@teresadownunder]

Glad you found it useful

[@marionanthony1530]

I have never seen this method for cathedral windows. Wow. Thank You .

[@teresadownunder]

[@beautifulmess3892]

My grandmother, may she rest in peace, made a quilt like this for my daughter. It was destroyed by a small, petty man. Thank you for showing me how to do this. I also love the button straight pins so cute!!

[@teresadownunder]

That’s sad. Maybe you can make one

[@beautifulmess3892]

@@teresadownunder I'm good at cross-stitch, macrame, and a little painting but I always seem to screw up when I try quilting. I don't have a sewing machine either. Thank you for replying to my comment. It makes me really feel like someone cares.❣️

[@teresadownunder]

Whatever makes you happy 😃

[@melindaostergren8115]

Such a delightful tutorial for this venerable block. Years ago I thought I’d give it a try and gave that up rather quickly! Jenny Doan of Missouri Star has a tutorial with a less complex method and it makes a nice quilt. But nothing can match the traditional method for the sense of depth and texture. I’m going to try just the 4 blocks size you showed here. I always chuckle a bit when I see the needle thread tail creeping up on you sometimes. I’m honored to be in such good company. Thank you for this video.

[@rosacocho1743]

[@HereIsMyStuff35]

Great tutorial! Turning over the edges on the window fabrics is a good idea, and I've never seen that before. The window fabrics love to fray and pop out of the windows! :( There's a nice variation of the original CW pattern called the Secret Garden. Lynne Edwards came up with it - she's done a lot of work on CW! The Secret Garden is even easier than the original block: once the block is folded for the second time a piece of fabric is inserted before the corners in the center are sewn together. Then it's just a matter of sewing down the curves. Hopefully I've explained this clearly, it's really easy to make. Again, thanks for this wonderful tutorial!

[@sarag1158]

There are so many methods to doing this. I love the traditional way but even traditional blocks vary. I just want to use layer cakes because I don't trust my ability to cut perfect squares every time. That, and I'm lazy. I see people zigzagging the squares together but I like this way better. I also don't want to do a ton of hand sewing. I'm copying this method. thank you!

[@teresadownunder]

Wonderful 🙏

I love your tutorial, but I don't understand how to piece the blocks together to make a table runner or quilt. How do you sew the white squares together? Do you sew the sides of each square like you did the four pieces? I'm confused. I'd love to see you demonstrate that. Thank you!

[@teresadownunder]

Look at the demo as a quilt not a block. If you want it bigger add more white squares. I hope this makes sense

[@chrischaplin8604]

Thank you for showing this, very easy to follow. I want to do a quilt with this method. How I would I attach each block together ? Would I need to put a border around each block ?. Thank you for your time x
