Cathedral window Quilt

I finally finished my third Cathedral Window Quilt, that I made for a Christmas. I think I started it in May, and mostly worked on it while watching TV.

Believe the Directions

Last year my niece Christina was getting married. She has always loved the Cathedral Window Quilt, so I decided it was time, I tried it.
The first try was a disaster. The directions say to use muslin, as the backing. I thought regular cotton would be much stronger. "Big mistake" Because you fold the materials in a way that you are dealing with four, and sometimes eight layers of cloth.
 I had to use a thimble, to push, a needle through, and sometimes a clamp to pull it through. I soon gave up on that and went out and bought a bolt of muslin, and eventually nine yards more.
It was much easier with muslin. It still took me many months to finish it,  but I really loved the finished project.

Being of the old  school, don;t waste anything, I eventually finished the first one, but will stick to muslin fom now on. I am working on  another one now.  It is great to take  few of the blocks to work on when you have to wait someplace or when traveling.
