I love it when the Jungle Drums go up and down Blogland…That’s what happened yesterday when pictures of this quilt were posted..the BIG question was who designed this quilt and where to find the pattern..??
My blogging friend, Beth heard the drums and came to the rescue! Beth is also making this quilt with her local Quilt Shop…it’s an OLD Cheri Saffiote Payne pattern and her group is making it through Cranberry Quiltworks Quilt Shop in Brea, CA. (which I think is near where Sherron lives…!!) If you have anymore questions about this quilt, you can either email or phone the Cranberry Quiltworks Quilt Shop…or email Cheri at her Blog. I’m sure Cheri would be delighted to re-release this wonderful quilt!
AND then there is THAT Cathedral Windows Quilt…man, I love this quilt…sigh…
Fiesta from Quilting Fiesta Blog also said that she has a tutorial on her blog…but I’ll be darned if I can find it…I would love to see it!! (You can see her gorgeous Cathedral Window quilt on her header!! It is stunning!!) I tried GOOGLING Cathedral Window Pattern and got this LINK to a smaller version of SuperSara20’s tutorial.
One thing is for sure, when making either of these Cathedral Windows quilts, it’s going to take a TON of background fabric…so if you are thinking of making one, when you see the fabric/colour that you want and it’s on SALE, then buy 10 yards (or more?) as you will probably need it!
I’m thinking that I will start off with a Cathedral Window pillow and if all goes well, maybe…just maybe, it might end up being a quilt…Wishful thinking?? Anyways, my friend, JoAnn, is having a SALE this weekend…and she does sell Kona Cotton…fingers crossed that it is on SALE!!
Have a FUN Friday and Happy Quilting!~P
I met a lady years ago that had made three huge Cathedral Windows quilts. One for each of her children. They weight a ton.
ReplyDeleteHi P, I have a Cathedral wip and will be for years. I use a few squares of material that I used in a project or quilt that I finished. So it is definitely a scrappy quilt. When Joanne had a sale I bought a bolt of good muslin. So I have plenty of background fabric. From yesterday, have you heard about a week of Heart and Hand?

I have dreams of some day making a cathedral window quilt using scraps from men's ties (mainly my husband's and daddy's). I think I have four blocks made and I've had it for several years!
ReplyDeleteFound my answer to H & H. It's Hand and Hearts at Sew We Quilt blog. Silly me!

I forgot to mention that shop is out of business, sorry. I didn't get the rest of my kits, the lady putting on the class had to have surgery recently and we are all kind of in limbo. I saw the pics you put up though and it really makes me want to get it out and work on it some more. I had bought the pattern from Quilter's Coop years ago.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the cathedral windows and watch a quilt show, showing how to do them and decided, nope, not me, lol.

My Mom started a Cathedral quilt many many many years ago. It was beautiful but a lot of work. I wonder where it went?
ReplyDeletePaulette, I am so sorry. I had updated my blog and forgot to post the tutorial. I will see if I can find it,
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you got them Paulette. I hope I had the right email. I sent 2 ways to make them.
ReplyDeleteI love Cathedral Windows quilts but I'll never make one - too much work for this lazy quilter, lol!
ReplyDeleteI too love the Cathedral Window design and want to make one. There are a couple of different approaches, but I believe this link will get you to a tutorial for a traditional version: http://sewcalgal.blogspot.com/2010/07/cathedral-windows-tutorial.html
