How to Make Cathedral Windows Quilt Block - Multiple Techniques and Variations - Quilting Tutorial 

Mother made a full sized Cathedral Window quilt years ago. It was so heavy that no one ever slept under it. It was hand made and beautiful. I have no idea who got that quilt after Mom died. I love that last pattern you showed us. It reminded me of the Log Cabin with a Cathedral window in the center. It is beautiful. Thank you for this video.

Thanks Paulette for showing us different designs with the window cathedral

Thank you for all the cathedral window options! You are a great teacher!

Love the approach and method, especially sewing those curves before all the blocks are assembled. It’s much easier to deal with detail sewing on a small piece! I think the last method is my favorite 😊 Thank you!!

I love these blocks! Such a beautiful vintage look. Thank you.

I can’t decide which one is my favorite technique! But I’m leaning towards the last method! Thank you for sharing!

I am so HAPPY I found you. Your teaching makes it easy to make the quilt pieces. THANK YOU

Thank you. I really like that last project with the borders. Cool idea.

You are an excellent teacher. Appreciation.

You are a blessing in disguise. I have been pondering over cathedral window patterns for years and have been confused by directions Now i can become a success

Tqvm for showing us . Hope to learn from you more patterns

Just love your tutorials! You are soooo easy to watch and learn! Keep up the great work and teach me more!!!

Awesome job demonstrating these different techniques. Thank you.

Great tutorial!!!

Thank you so mutch

Good Morning, Wow, this is a lot easier than the way I made a pillow a few years ago. Truly! Thank you for sharing this “much easier” way to make these pretty designs. Happy New Year! 🥰👍 Chris P.S. I’ve been following you (oh gosh) for a few years. 🥰❤️

I love your method of teaching.

Superb demonstration. Thank you!

Es usted buena costurera las manos dicen mucho. Muchas salud y gracias por compartir

Thank you so much for showing us how to sew these. I can't wait to try sewing them. Happy New Year.

I love your methods. You make it look so easy

Thank You! Paulette, you make it so easy to follow.👏

love it !!! and I'm with you - the last one is my favorite. Thanks ever so much for sharing. I'm new to quilting and am trying to absorb all I can. You have a knack for explaining everything so even a beginner can understand. Looking forward to getting started on my quilting journey !!

I love this tutorial. I do believe I can do a very nice quilt for my Aunt Oma. With her favorite color being purple but with NO green I'll have to shop for a few different purple, flowery fabrics to go with the purple 10" layer cake that I've already purchased. Thank you for showing us the different techniques and really like the last type of cathedral window (with the blues) that one mostly with some of the diamond version in different sized middles will be fabulous in my mind, anyway. Thanks again for sharing. Blessings to y'all. By the way, I agree with ABG, you are a great teacher.

Hello Paulette. Jointly made two king size cathedral window quilts. Mine was more involved but quilted as you go. We cut large squares out of solid color, we bought the bolt. Then we sewed the square into an enclosed square. 1, fold sq in half. Press seam flat. Bring remaing raw edges togther match seam at center. Sew this seam leaving , just a little opening for turned. Trim points so they are sharp when turned right side out. Iron the enclosed square and bring cornor points togther and press. You now have a little square with a smoothe side and a side with four flaps. Using the ironed line sew the square together. Assemble as many squares as you want. Turn the flappy side up and cut a small fashion fabric to fill the square. Roll the edge around the fashion fabric making a windon. Option, cut a piece of batting to put under fashion fabric. Sew down the scalloped edges encasing the fashion fabric. Them you’re done. Your method seems easier, but probably not a short cut in the end because you need to quilt it. Made the quilts with my mom back in the 90’s. That was before quilting short cuts were in vogue, like strip sewing….. hope you get the idea. I tried to explain the best I could. Love your channel as I’ve said many times before.

Love the sashing! Thank you!! All were great ideas

Nice and very inspiring as always 💖 thank you for sharing this tutorial ❤❤❤❤

I like the machine sewing. I did a cathedral window by hand. It took forever.

I love this technique thanks so much for sharing!!

I want to let you know that you are the first person I have liked and my first subscription. Now I can watch more of you. Happiness!

Beautiful, God Bless you

Glad I found you. I'll do these soon

Like the last one best. Years ago I made a block for the old fashioned way. Have to look with it don’t know where it is. Thanks for your tutorial.

P.S. I used to sew my Cathedral Windows by hand! The old way. I still like the way that looks!

I love these blocks, thanks for the great video

That is alot easier I did start one but have so many scrape to sew that I'm working on that issue now the Quilts I've done in just randomly place blocks for a baby quilt ,wished I cut all my fabrics in blocks have alot of the 10 inch fabrics cut in blocks so I will begin after I'm done with all my scrapes. Happen quilting. And thanks for sharing. ❤

OH THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO AND INSTRUCTION. NEW SUB HERE.

Thank you for sewing the pattern.l was wondering how you would do it. Thank you again. Hope Morrissey

Thank you. I always said, i will not eet or go the toilet, as i just can make lovely things. It's theraphy for me....if they take my machines away, i will die...blessings😀😀😀🇿🇦

Bravo

Love your channel. Made two chathedral window quilt with large sq. folden to an enclosed sq which made sides on bias; cut out little squares that where enclosed by points from the enclosed square. It was loads of work but when finished no backing was needed. It’s probably an original way to fold as the quilts were made 20-30 yrs ago. The current demos are easier, but yield thinner finished pieces. Sorry, this was hard to explain.

Благодарю! 🙏💐

I’m a beginner and was wondering; for the last method, how would I square that up without getting the points?

I just watched the quilt being made with needle and thread. I was wondering if you could machine sew it.

I wonder if this could be done with layer cakes? The colors would be different.

I was wondering about the weight. Can this be quilted without using batting-or perhaps adding a flat sheet between the top and backing?

My grandmother made a bedspread in the cathedral window pattern for my parents' 1-year wedding anniversary. Wishful thinking! It ended up taking ten years and I remember watching her working on it. She added an additional step to one of your variations: the backing material was all white, so to add color, she sewed a little square into the little square window. I now have a much better understanding of the work that went into that quilt! And plan to try your variations myself.

👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

Im so doing this

I love the cathedral window pattern. Is there some way to cover the middle point if they don't meet in the diamond shape? I not to good at points meeting some of the time. I'm a newbie on this pattern. Thanks for sharing how to do this!

Now what and how to you do a backing for it?

Geben sie auch die Maße an?

My mother did one by hand. She'd sit at the table and stitch while I worked on math.

Good evening Paulette, you must have been a mind reader because i was just asking myself about what did you do with all your sample blocks when you answered my question. I think i love the double curve that makes the acute oval or cats eye, because when you placed them together, they were so pretty, making lovely designs. The blue and yellow flower material is so beautiful and reminds me of little pansy faces, i love pansies. Thank you flower for sharing your talent with us, i for one really appreciate the time and trouble you take to show lots of examples of what the blocks can make.

Love the last sample it looks like butterflies

How many years have you been quilting? You seem like you may be a master seamstress. Your voice is calming and for people like me with severe anxiety and depression, we really need a calming voice when we are learning new things. I find Guilting therapeutic. I really appreciate you and your expert advice. I saw another way to make this block and while I was successful, it was much more complicated. I subscribed to your Channel and look forward to seeing more of your talents and learning from you. Do you have a Facebook Group and allow people to post their work for everyone to show their creations? Thank You

Is the backside thick/bulky aftersewing the four sections together (looks quite flat)?

wonderful!!! enjoyed them all but i need to have my fabric cut beforehand! ugh

Bom dia, poderia colocar na legenda o Portugues do Brasil ?? Obrigada .❤❤

Absolutely amazing, this has become my most favorite video bar none, you have demonstrated the cathedral window block with such simplicity. I now can make this block into a beautiful quilt. Thank you very much.

My husbands mother made a BEAUTIFUL cathedral window quilt. She sewed the folded pieces all by hand. Her quitting was absolutely amazing.
