I seem to have a thing for Cathedral Windows. I’ve made lots of different projects with them.
My favourite is this wall hanging (the photography is dire and you can’t see the detail, the entire hanging is quilted and the windows are metallic fabrics and look amazing).
Then there is this cushion
and my little needle case.
There’s been lots more too that I haven’t blogged about like one year when everyone got a cathedral window pincushion and the next when it was Christmas decorations.
I had a weekend recently when the sewing machine came out and there was lots of industry.

I’ve had a project sat for awhile, and I finally had some down time so I got cracking with it. It’ll be a cushion when I’m finished similar to the one above. Here’s my progress so far:

| All the blocks ironed flat. |

| I’ve used what I had leftover from the wall hanging for the windows. With better photography you can see the fabric is really stunning. |
It took awhile to figure out the arrangement for the fabric as I didn’t have enough to do many squares in just one colour. I just have to sew them all in now, which is the time consuming part.
