One Tuesday when I was sewing with the Guild I was feeling particularly unmotivated. My friend, Donna Sand, showed me this pattern and I was immediately inspired.

I had several 2.5″ strips so it is totally scrappy; I even used scraps of different white fabrics that I had. I didn’t have fabric for the borders but when we were in Victoria I purchased fabric for another project and just “borrowed” a few strips to finish this off.

I fully intended to quilt it myself but when the Guild were planning a sandwiching day I realized it would be done a lot faster if I had them sandwich it. It is possible that some other member might take it home to quilt (and I’ve no doubt it will be done better than I would have done).

I made this in an attempt to use up more of my 2.5″ squares. The 16-patches were easy to make and I like them with sashing between the blocks.

This was done during my afternoon sessions with Gail.

This technique for Cathedral Windows was a bit different from how I would normally make them. Gail found the video online so we decided to make it at our afternoon sessions.

We made a plan to cut our fabrics so we’d be ready to sew when we got together. As it turned out we were watching a video showing the same technique but using different sizes of cut squares. Gail’s turned out much larger than mine (16″) but since I really didn’t have a plan for this I’m happy with the almost 12″ it turned out to be.
