Progress on The Cathedral Windows Quilt: 14 Blocks So Far

 

14 Blocks done so far. (15 would have been better ...)

I laid them out on my bed to see how it's coming together so far.

The process was time-consuming, but relatively painless, and mostly done by machine.

 

Now the question is: Do I keep going? 

How many more blocks should I make? 

How big do I want this quilt?

I'm thinking a wall hanging, not bed-size. 

 

Here, I stood on a chair and tried to get a top-down shot.

 

This is the last block I worked on today, before I stitched in the colors.

Actually, that part is my favorite of the whole process.

 

It's a little tedious to do all the prep work on the white origami squares in the background.

But I do love the colors!

These are all 2-1/2 squares cut from my scrap pile.  Most of them have been in other projects.

I acquired a few from other people though ... 

 

Here is the same block, stitched down and with the teaspoon of stuffing added 

to give them a little poof in the final quilt.

 

 

Here are a few other blocks.

 

 

6 more blocks would be 36 more 9-1/2 squares. 

I might as well keep going and make a few extra ...

 

Here is the blank white background with the origami white Avalon muslin 

-- before the colors are added. 

Each packet is satin-stitched to the one next to it.

Most of those satin stitching lines are covered with the colored squares on the front side. 

 

Here's the backside, after the colors have been stitched on.  

Each square is complete and quilted-as-you-go.  

 

Here's the stack of the 14 blocks piled up. 

You can see that the little teaspoon of fluff makes it poof.

In case you forgot the overall project, here's another shot of the overhead view.
