CLASS: CATHEDRAL WINDOWS PILLOW 2 Sessions
Cathedral Windows is a stunning pattern considered to be a traditional quilt block popularized in the US in the 1930s. The design is meant to replicate the stained-glass windows seen in historic churches. One of the beauties of this technique is that the result is a complicated look without a complicated process. This class will have you create a beautiful pillow suitable for any home décor, and the center of the windows (see “Fabric A” note on materials/homework sheet) can even use some of your scraps from other projects!
