I remember my grandmother doing one of these by hand in the early 1970s. If I'm not mistaken, my mothers oldest sister got it after Gran died. Every sibling got a quilt and as I was the first grandchild to marry, she made me a "trip around the world" for my wedding present. It was the last quilt she made before she passed away.
*_Thank you for sharing Gidget...it still amazes me how cotton and thread when sewn together has so much memory and love within it. What a great legacy to be handed down...💛_*
that is incredible! I love the sewing machine method because I hate hand sewing too. most of the videos I've seen involved hand sewing which puts it out of reach for me
Love the short cuts. I started a cathedral window quilt when my daughter had a twin bed ... only used machine for the white pieces putting them together, sewing on in long strips, then hand sewed all the squares in. She then went to a Full sized bed before I finished, so I added more rows of the white muslin and kept adding squares. She has now moved in with her boyfriend, so I need to add some more strips of muslin. I’m keeping this pink, light blue and lavender, and kind of try for a pattern, changing with every edge. It definitely pays to get all the muslin at once, but as I said, I keep having to alter the size, LOL, so I have a few squares of “white” muslin that aren’t exactly the same color of white. Thank you for sharing
*_Hi Collette....I had same issue with the white not matching on this quilt....I made sure It was the same barcode number/ color of white but since it wasn't from the same bolt- it didn't match perfectly. I think I'm the only one that can tell though. That's wonderful that you keep adding on to the quilt as the situation changes 💟_*
Tracy, you’re a cathedral window genius!! I just finished watching your tutorial on how you made this quilt! This was Sew Simple!! I’m going to challenge myself to make one using your tutorial and technique. I will make either a lap quilt, wall hanging, or throw. Bravo Tracy, Bravo!! 💜
Thank you for this! I’m not a quilter, but have always been fascinated by this quilt. I’m 71, and over the last 30 years or so I’ve tried to make it several times. I never could get my squares even, even with trying several different methods. This makes me want to try one more time. Not sure I’ll live long enough to finish, though😜
*_MrsFrogW- thank you for chiming in to let me know that I wasn't the only one that could not get those squares straight the traditional way.....Like you- I tried over and over. That's why I did the zig zag- WAY more control on those squares coming together straight! If you end up trying it-Please let me know how it goes✅_*
Faith..never give up.. keep trying girlfriend..find a couple of friends to help you..have a girls night, make a few snack and all work together..I'm sure your friends would love to help you find faith..you go girl..
My grandmother made a cathedral quilt for me when I got married. It was all hand sewn❤️. The windows in mine are 1” so I guess she cut 1 1/2” blocks of print fabrics. Thank you so much for sharing!
Hi! Judy Hammack here. I live in Ardmore, OK. I just discovered your channel. While I love all kinds of crafts and have taught myself many of them, sewing is my all time favorite. Happy am 67 years old and have been sewing since I was 6-8 when my mother taught me on a Singer treadle machine. I am just getting into quilting. I have always wanted to do a cathedral window quilt. Watching this video has inspired me to want to proceed. However, I have so man projects that I need to finish first. I am as sitting at a table in my sewing room working on a diamond painting for my grandsons at 8:07 tonight. We are in a winter storm warning and have gotten quite a bit of sleet and are expecting snow tomorrow. We don’t have this cold very often. Pretty cold at wind chill of around 21. Not as bad as further north, but that is why we live in south central Ok. Loved the video. Your quilt is absolutely stunningly gorgeous!!!!!
The cathedral window quilt is my goal! I absolutely love love love this pattern. It’s so gorgeous and amazing. You have done an amazing job and I’m certain your daughter treasures this beautiful masterpiece you have created for them. Thank you sew much for sharing all the tricks and tips and the entire process! Much appreciated and love the completion 🥰😘
*_Thank you so much for the kind feedback!💟 The cathedral window quilt is my absolute favorite.....I always wanted to try it but I thought it would be too difficult...I think I went through 10 yards of muslin while practicing before I actually started this quilt 😱Have fun making it.✅🧡_*
I have started my cathedral window quilt back in 1995,.. but with my cathedral window ,. I'm doing it all by hand stitching,. No sewing machine at all ,.. using Muslim material... I think it's pretty neat if you ask me,.. it's alot of work thou... 😁☺️🧵
Yah! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥳🥳🥳 You finished the beautiful quilt!!! It looks absolutely beautiful and they will cherish it always!!! Thank you for sharing your talent, creativity and amazing sewing skills with us!!!
Shabby Fabrics has a video on making Cathedral Window Ornaments. Nice looking, they look like little stuffed pillow hanging from the tree. I made several as gifts last year. Of course after this quilt you may want to lay off of making these for a while LOL.
This is so beautiful, I am speechless...I never did a quilt in my life,this motivates me do start this!!!! Edit: as soon as the video ended I destroyed a cotton blanket sheet and made a 40 cm piece! It went smooth and easy,looks gorgeous,even tho the only thing ever sewing in my life were some hem edges! Can't wait to buy a beige cotton and one with some roses and do a vintage theme!
That is amazing, my very first try at quilting was a cathedral quilt done a bit different. I probably had enough done to make a pillow but had no idea what I was doing back then and tossed the project. I could sure kick myself now, lol. Your quilt is exquisite.
Traci this is simply a beautiful work of art! ❤️ I appreciate you explaining in detail how this project is doable. Now I am motivated to start one myself. Blessings to you!
Thank you so much!💛 This was my dream quilt to make...my daughter displays it proudly at her house💛 One of the biggest quilts I ever made for sure✅ Doable but it is a marathon...you can do it!🎉
That is the prettiest quilt! and 1 of my favorites. I made a queen sized several years ago by machine (would have never finished by hand). So much work!
First time viewer here. I am amazed at this type of quilt. Your workmanship is excellent. Although I have no plans on making a large quilt; I think I might be able to make this on a much smaller scale than you did. I'm thinking to a lap blanket size. Anyhow, just wanted to say you did an amazing job!
Oh my goodness! You finished it!! It is the most beautiful quilt I’ve ever seen. You’ve given me the motivation and encouragement to try one of my own. Thank you so much!
This is so amazing! I love how you explained how to create this quilt. I could feel your joy 💞 So, if not for the pandemic and searching for mask tutorials a year ago, I never would have found your channel! Thank you for sharing this with all of us! And Congratulations!
Congratulations! It's beautiful! Two questions. How close and wide were your zig zag stitches and could a small piece of heat n bond be used in the center of each block instead of hand stitching? Thank you!
*_Thank you Sue!💟 I don't think heat bond would work because that area is "pulled" when we sew the bias open.✅ In the video I made my zig zag a little too thick I think. Not sure on the number on my zig zag. Just make sure it's wide enough to catch both pieces of fabric together✅_*
Can you tell me if there was a reason you did a zigzag stitch instead of pulling corners and sewing together. I’m just curious the difference. Thank you.
Great question Cynthia✅- Everytime I would sew traditional way-they would end up not lining up.....would be "wonky"...so it frustrated me! LOL! With the zig zag- it became predictable and If I saw it wasn't lining up then I could shift slightly to even up✅ Hope that answered your question🤓
Good Morning, I am having a problem with my quilt. Could you answer a few questions for me. 1. When tacking down the points, are you also tacking to the 1 layer of the square? 2. I'm having a hard time folding over the points on the curves, it's not all the 2 1/2" square point is covered. Please help.
Good morning Carol. When hand tacking I’m only tacking points and 1 layer right next to points. (So don’t add the back layer in this step). On question 2- are you laying it in the right place? It’s placed over the zig zags not the hand tacked part. If it’s not covering then you may have went to far with your hand tacking. Tacked part needs to be very very small. Let me know if that helps✅
@@TheSewingChannel Thank you so much for the quick reply. That's exactly what I was doing wrong. Tacking the points to the back and too long of a stitch through the points . Thank you so so much. .
Any white quilting cotton will work. I bought mine at Joann fabrics ✅ Be sure to feel it with your hands- soft medium weight. I bought mine on sale for $6 a yard. It was regular $10 a yard. Look for a deal✅
I was just gifted a cathedral window from my cousin, she doesn’t sew. I’m thankful to get it, my Great Grandmother started it at least 50 years ago, and it came with all the pieces to finish it. I know what my winter project will be.
My husband received a Cathedral Windows quilt from his uncle when his aunt passed. The quilt was made by the aunt's mother. It was all done by hand and even as an experienced sewer/quilter, I could not figure out how the blocks were created. It is 74"x84" and the colored fabrics are about 1.5" square. I searched and found your video, and WOW, what a process! It makes us appreciate what we have all the more. Your quilt is beautiful. Thank you souch for sharing the process!! ❤
This is your opus... your masterpiece... if you will... stunning...just jaw dropping. The work in this. OMG... My Mother always says you can tell how much someone loves you by the quilt they make for you... Looks like its infinite right here. I would to see what your daughter says about this work of art. she probably is gonna cry. I would. Thanks for sharing.
*_Thank you Kelly for your kind words......My daughter actually came over earlier today when I was trying to finish this video.....She wanted to take it home today (I told her to hold off a bit longer just in case I needed to film anymore for the video.) She is anxiously waiting to have it all for her and her family💟_*
What an artistic endeavor! I am definitely going to make this quilt. I love that the CW quilt can he machine sewn, batting added to each window, and the quilting is completed when the quilt is finished being assembled! BEAUTIFUL! I am a new subscriber, and I thank you for this tutorial! God's Blessings upon you! 💜
Louisiana Lady- the CW is my absolute favorite!!!💗 ever since I saw a vintage one in an antique shop- I have always wanted to try it!!! My Dream quilt for sure!!!! Gods blessings right back to you💛
I LOVE that you put polyfil in the windows. It just gives it so much more dimension. This really has inspired me to make this my next "labor of love" quilt!!
@@TheSewingChannel my fabric just came today. I'm bracing myself!! I made a practice pillow cover for my sister last night, with just 15 blocks and it came out way better than I thought I would, but a whole bed quilt compared to a pillow covering is like apples and oranges sometimes. thanks, again, for the video!!
Gorgeous! My friend started her cathedral window quilt the same time I started a star quilt for my son....about 25 years ago. She just finished hers so that means I need to finish mine.
This is STUNNING!!!!! I promised my husband’s grandmother that I would make a cathedral window quilt one day. I’ve made two baby quilts; one, completely by hand for my niece, and one, by machine for my great niece. I’ve always wanted to make one for myself…you have inspired me to try. Thank you!!!
Wow! What a beautiful quilt. I have wanted to make a cathedral window quilt for a long time but didn't want to do all the hand sewing. Your tutorial is brilliant. Adding this to my list of future projects. Thank you thank you for sharing! ❤
What an amazing quilt! 🩷Beautiful job! What a keepsake this will be. Your way is different than I learned, but I like that it is backed and quilted as you go. 😊Thank you for sharing your experience.
You just made my life so much easier!! I learned from a video where you had to edge it on a cardboard and iron iron and iron. I never could get the centers perfect so I always had to sew on buttons. They always turned out beautiful, but such a lengthy process. I make memory cathedral pillows quite often, so this is a life/timesaver! Thank you so much. ❤
This is beautiful! I've been trying different ways to sew cathedral windows. I've seen this way, and just before you attach the flaps, they would slip a5" square under, so there was a colorful background, same color or scrappy, then the polyfil under the picture fabric, then sewing the frame around the picture. This method seems to be less bumpy, lumpy. That's what I've been running into... thick seams and/or lumps where the seams meet. Love your quilt ❤😊
Well done. You have great discipline. Your quilt is stunningly beautiful. I remember seeing this quilt with the edges not sewn shut, the high thread count cotton freyed as with washing or pulling threads on napkins. The white fabric made a soft frame for the many colored pieces Including velvets & satins.
I was inspired by your cathedral window quilt. I loved your technique. I have just finished a quilt with your video for guidance. I’m hanging onto it for a little while as I think my granddaughter is a little too young for it at the moment. I know she will love it. I’d love to send a photo. Not sure how,
Gorgeous!! What size background square would you use if you wanted to use a larger window square, for instance, a 3 or 3.5” square. Just wondering how the math works. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful work and showing us this method!
Tracy, Wow what a Beautiful Quilt ❤️!!! This is my favorite Quilt and Dream to make this one day. Your tutorial has inspired me and I think I will take this on shortly.. thank you so much for making this video and I really love the filling you put in the little squares and also how this quilt looks on the back. Can you please send me the tutorial on this? Thank you so much and have a blessed day. Debbie A.
Love this quilt i’ve looked at other tutorials, but I like yours the best. The question I have is how many windows did you put across the top and how many down if you could please let me know that that would be great. Thanks again for this tutorial, I love it.
I really like your method. I've said for years that before the Lord calls me home I'd like to make a cathedral window quilt! Your finished quilt looks amazing, however the white circles in between appear to me to make the quilt look unfinished.
Simply Magnificent! Congratulations on this work of art accomplishment 💖 This pattern was my initial 'draw' into the quilting arena a few decades ago. Thank you for the renewed inspiration and sharing a technique to get one of many done ❣
One of the most beautiful quilts i have ever seen.. I was wondering if I could keep adding the blocks around and around the outside, (kinda log-cabin style), if this would avoid fighting to get to in the center.
*_Thank you so much mammondee!💜I never thought to do it that way....you could try a small sample and see if works? As I think about it in theory-it seems like it would totally work.....if you try it -please let me know✅_*
That would be a good idea, except your still going to sew around each of your 2 1/2 inch squares. I would probably do it by 6-8 sections. After I finished those, then I'd sew them them all together so I wouldn't have such a big section all together.
Your version of th Cathedral Window Quilt is so much easier to sew. I did it by hand for a 14"-14" pillow. This will never ever happen again.
I remember my grandmother doing one of these by hand in the early 1970s. If I'm not mistaken, my mothers oldest sister got it after Gran died. Every sibling got a quilt and as I was the first grandchild to marry, she made me a "trip around the world" for my wedding present. It was the last quilt she made before she passed away.

You can also sew the sides of each block together before you tack the centers. No stitching seen on the back, but it’s a matter of preference.
I had to read this 2x but I know what you mean only as I remember learning it that way.
I LOVE that you put polyfil in the windows. It just gives it so much more dimension. This really has inspired me to make this my next "labor of love" quilt!!
*_Go for it Samantha! and you aint lyin'......A TRUE labor of LOVE!!!!LOL😂_*
@@TheSewingChannel my fabric just came today. I'm bracing myself!! I made a practice pillow cover for my sister last night, with just 15 blocks and it came out way better than I thought I would, but a whole bed quilt compared to a pillow covering is like apples and oranges sometimes. thanks, again, for the video!!
Gorgeous! My friend started her cathedral window quilt the same time I started a star quilt for my son....about 25 years ago. She just finished hers so that means I need to finish mine.
*_Thank you Patti...This is a tough quilt to finish I'm realizing. My way should simplify it for you✅_*
🤣
Oh my word! Kudos for you for making this quilt. I have done smaller cathedral window projects but nothing on this scale.
Congratulations! A real masterpiece!
*_Thank you Lois!💜_*
This is STUNNING!!!!! I promised my husband’s grandmother that I would make a cathedral window quilt one day. I’ve made two baby quilts; one, completely by hand for my niece, and one, by machine for my great niece. I’ve always wanted to make one for myself…you have inspired me to try. Thank you!!!
This is my most accomplished quilt I’ve ever made💛❤️💛 true labor of ❤️
Awesome quilt! Best tutorial ever! This is such an overwhelming project, and I am so proud of you for finishing this quilt. This is a family treasure!
Wow! What a beautiful quilt. I have wanted to make a cathedral window quilt for a long time but didn't want to do all the hand sewing. Your tutorial is brilliant. Adding this to my list of future projects. Thank you thank you for sharing! ❤
What an amazing quilt! 🩷Beautiful job! What a keepsake this will be. Your way is different than I learned, but I like that it is backed and quilted as you go. 😊Thank you for sharing your experience.
You just made my life so much easier!! I learned from a video where you had to edge it on a cardboard and iron iron and iron. I never could get the centers perfect so I always had to sew on buttons. They always turned out beautiful, but such a lengthy process. I make memory cathedral pillows quite often, so this is a life/timesaver! Thank you so much. ❤
This is beautiful! I've been trying different ways to sew cathedral windows. I've seen this way, and just before you attach the flaps, they would slip a5" square under, so there was a colorful background, same color or scrappy, then the polyfil under the picture fabric, then sewing the frame around the picture. This method seems to be less bumpy, lumpy. That's what I've been running into... thick seams and/or lumps where the seams meet. Love your quilt ❤😊
Well done.
You have great discipline. Your quilt is stunningly beautiful.
I remember seeing this quilt with the edges not sewn shut, the high thread count cotton freyed as with washing or pulling threads on napkins. The white fabric made a soft frame for the many colored pieces Including velvets & satins.
*_Thank you so much!💜_*

Your work is stunning. You are welcome.
❤😊 Honestly Stunning BEAUTIES ❤😊
I was inspired by your cathedral window quilt. I loved your technique. I have just finished a quilt with your video for guidance. I’m hanging onto it for a little while as I think my granddaughter is a little too young for it at the moment. I know she will love it. I’d love to send a photo. Not sure how,
This is beautiful! Thank you for sharing! I have enjoyed your channel so much!
Gorgeous!! What size background square would you use if you wanted to use a larger window square, for instance, a 3 or 3.5” square. Just wondering how the math works. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful work and showing us this method!
Tracy, Wow what a Beautiful Quilt ❤️!!!
This is my favorite Quilt and Dream to make this one day. Your tutorial has inspired me and I think I will take this on shortly.. thank you so much for making this video and I really love the filling you put in the little squares and also how this quilt looks on the back. Can you please send me the tutorial on this? Thank you so much and have a blessed day. Debbie A.
Love this quilt i’ve looked at other tutorials, but I like yours the best. The question I have is how many windows did you put across the top and how many down if you could please let me know that that would be great. Thanks again for this tutorial, I love it.
I really like your method. I've said for years that before the Lord calls me home I'd like to make a cathedral window quilt!
Your finished quilt looks amazing, however the white circles in between appear to me to make the quilt look unfinished.
Simply Magnificent! Congratulations on this work of art accomplishment 💖 This pattern was my initial 'draw' into the quilting arena a few decades ago. Thank you for the renewed inspiration and sharing a technique to get one of many done ❣
One of the most beautiful quilts i have ever seen.. I was wondering if I could keep adding the blocks around and around the outside, (kinda log-cabin style), if this would avoid fighting to get to in the center.
*_Thank you so much mammondee!💜I never thought to do it that way....you could try a small sample and see if works? As I think about it in theory-it seems like it would totally work.....if you try it -please let me know✅_*
That would be a good idea, except your still going to sew around each of your 2 1/2 inch squares. I would probably do it by 6-8 sections. After I finished those, then I'd sew them them all together so I wouldn't have such a big section all together.
Wonderful! This is beautiful! Your videos are so uplifting. Thanks for all you do!
