Quilting:
1. Master bedroom quilt: at a standstill for two reasons - it's going to be a huge quilting job and I'm still not sure how I'm going to quilt it, AND I'm focussing on the Lizzy House quilt top.
2. Lizzy House quilt: still working on the top ... getting bigger every day. I also took advantage of a 50% off sale at my local fabric store and bought the batting and flannel for the back.
3. Cathedral quilt sampler: a new little project. I've been noticing on flickr some beautiful quilts - some that I'm particularly interested in making are - Cathedral window quilts, hexigons and wedding ring quilts (although I really like the look of Denyse Schmidt's single girl design). Back to the point, I went to the library and found a book called Ultimate Quilting Bible by Marie Clayton which has some good instructions for how to make all of these quilts (but not the single girl). This week I started a small Cathedral window quilt sampler. Not so sure I will ever make another because of all the hand sewing ... Here it is so far:
And here is some inspiration I've found on flickr:
1. cathedral windows, 2. single girl #2, 3. new bag!!!, 4. King-Size Single Girl, 5. a hexagon potholder, 6. Mini Hexagon Pincushion Practice, 7. Wedding Ring, 8. Pillow Talk Swap Pillow Front

i really like those cathedral quilts and the rings. very pretty! it does look like a LOT of work though. my mom makes quilts and does all the sewing by hand (well except the quilt top-she puts that together on the machine). she just sits and sews while watching tv. but, she doesn't have 3 little ones running underfoot!
Love the inside fabric in your cathedral windows. I have been wanting to make a cathedral windows quilt also, but I know it is a big undertaking!
Wow, those look like some TEENY cathedral windows! How big are they? I'm impressed! I know I've seen a tutorial for machine-sewn cathedral windows, so I don't think they HAVE to be hand-sewn, but I could be wrong, I've never done them.
Thanks for linking up, have a great week!
Cathedral windows are just gorgeous! I haven't tried one yet, but they do look intimidating, so I can understand not wanting to make more than one!
I just love the colors of the cathedral quilt project! Stunning!
Wow, I love those cathedral windows - and they sure do look teeny! I did a cathedral windows pillow not too long ago using a tute at A La Mode, with zero hand sewing, you may want to check it out - here's a link - http://alamodefabric.blogspot.com/2010/02/cathedral-window-easy-peasy.html
Wow you are expanding your quilts by leaps and bounds i am a bit jealous of your talent! :)
Oooo! Lovely!! I am making all three. LOL! I also just made up a cathedral window tutorial. I think the ironing and sewing the units by machines make it easier. How about trying it by machine?
