Week 11: December 1st

Cathedral Window

Cathedral Window quilts are sewn by hand almost entirely - and the process of folding fabric to make the window panes gives the quilt a natural thickness so that the work doesn't need batting or a backing.

Sample that was made using a wedge ruler

Cathedral Windows in progress!

Second-to-last meeting of the Piecemakers! A busy night indeed: continue hand-quilting Local Fabric quilt, make binding and put binding on quilt, hand sew the binding down, learn about Cathedral Windows and create a sample Cathedral Window block. It was a long night, but the Piecemakers were up to the challenge. While their quilt wasn't completed by the last night of the class, the binding was on and a significant amount of quilting was completed. The Piecemakers decided to donate their quilt to ArtPlay and it will be hung in the main building soon. Stop by and see their beautiful work in person. Thanks to the Piecemakers for a fantastic quarter!
