I found a new take on Cathedral Windows by Lynn Edwards and loved the different sizes and mix of fabrics. I used Batiks and Kaffe Fassett fabrics.
When I first stared quilting in the 1970's I made a Cathedral Windows Pillow. At that time the background was muslin and the inset fabric was a mix of little calico prints. I still have that quilt and thought for years - a quilt was out of the question. I was awestruck when I saw a book by Lynn Edwards - the "windows" were not the same size and the colors were everywhere. Lynn uses the "classic" folding technique and gives a variety of variations to the sizes. I chose to work on a 3" grid. I found a fabulous Kaffe Fasset Fabric - Coleus (another 70's flashback) and used that to pull the colors of the batiks for the to create the "windows".
