At long last my cathedral window quilt is done...along with several coordinating nursery pieces. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this quilt! I think it's my favorite piece that I have created to date. It started with an idea of using bright, modern fabrics for a traditional style cathedral window quilt...I thought it would be such a fun nursery piece! But...this project was back-burnered so many times I really have no idea how long I've actually worked on it...and it's changed. I originally was going to make crib bumpers with the cathedral window panels, but I decided it would go farther for whoever purchases it as a quilt than as bumpers(especially with the work involved).
I started with plain white Kona cotton...I love Kona...and then I cut small squares of Amy Butler, Michael Miller Ta Dots, Patty Young's dandelions, I think there is a Riley Blake print in there...and then I randomly put it together. I also created an adjustable height crib skirt to coordinate as well as three fitted crib sheets, fabric flag buntings and a functional baby blanket as the cathedral window quilt is too heavy for a baby (but would work well for a toddler or pre-schooler) and would be better used as room decor.
Without further ado, please enjoy...
