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.
I just finished my extra large king cathedral window quilt. I used your tutorial. It was a lot of work. It took 1 years and 9 months. To say the least, it will be my one and only.
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!! ❤
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. ❤
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! ❤
This is the third time I’ve watched this video. Tracy I have to say… this is the most beautiful cathedral window quilt I have seen!! I watched quite a few videos on them too! Love the way you stuffed those. And I love that you used your machine! I think everyone hand stitching was holding me back from making one. Im ready to start my 10 year quilt now LOL ❤ ty ty ty!!
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!!!!!
Oh my goodness, that is beautiful! The only quilt my mother ever mentioned wanting to make was cathedral window. Now I see why she never even started one. So much effort, but worth it.
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.
Hi,Tracy I finally finish my cathedral window quilt it took me eight months, thanks to you Tracy with your video tutorial step by step made easy for me to quilt this beautiful quilt and now I'm working on another cathedral window quilt a black multi-color solid color quilt also I started this quilt in May 15, 2023 this month
What a wonderful job you did, congratulations for completing it. I have been inspired by you to make my Granddaughters one each. At the time of commenting I have about a month for the eldest Granddaughter's birthday. I better get started. Thank you again. I truly love your quilt.
Thank you for the kind words Bev💛 They have it on display in the main part of their house....everytime I go over there-I gush with pride....so accomplishing 💛
Super congratulations. We're all happy but Tracy is the happiest. Who said beautiful work comes easy. I hope your daughter and son in law enjoy sunshine through the windows of this quilt for a very very long time together ❤
I love this method I am going to make a picture for every day of the year but with your information on the amount of fabric there is no way I would be able to afford it, so I will just make it as big as I can afford to
❤❤❤ Tracy ❤❤❤ This tutorial for Cathedral Window Quilt is the best I've found. I'll break it up like you did and chain sew the backing/framing fabric construction and then join in sets of 6. I don’t want my picture fabric to fray, so I will only cut small batches at a time. I'm so excited. My grandies are 11yrs and 13yrs so I have a little more time than you had 😂😂😂❤❤❤😂😂😂 Even if they don't want the quilts I would have made a great achievement and I can always sell them. But I have wanted to make Cathedral Windows forever! 🎉
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.
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!! 💜
I can't believe I have missed this video for 2 years. Your's is so beautiful! It's the "puff" that makes it extra special. This is definitely going on my bucket list! I just need a couple bolts of white fabric to get started. My oldest grandson is 12. Maybe I can get it finished in time for his wedding 😊
I remember my great aunt sewing these by hand, and I thought they were so beautiful and that one day I would like to make one. She would sit and sew these little pieces by hand while she watched her “story” on tv, (soap opera). I have never seen one done on a machine like that but it looks as though it would be much faster. I know that she worked on hers for years. I believe she made one for her son and one for her daughter. I enjoyed watching this and if I get the nerve I will consider making some for my grandchildren! Better get started huh? 😂 I already completed a quilt that my grandmother started for me and never finished, it now belongs to my first granddaughter. It’s a Sun Bonnet Sue, and I made it from the leftover unfinished squares and added in newer blocks doing my best to try and match her hand embroidery on the bonnets. It was a true labor of love but I swore I’d never do it again as it was the first quilt I had ever made! This video has me rethinking that. Thanks so much for making such a complex thing look doable!
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💟_*
At first I was like no no no but I finished watching and was so very impressed. It really is gorgeous and not as hard as I thought. Then boom like you said your done. I’m sure I love it. I love it great job.
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...💛_*
BeAuTIFuL instruction!! Exactly what one needs to successfully complete a cathedral window quilt! Thanks so much for the time and effort it took for you to share with others. Blessings to you and your family.
I started a cathedral quilt in high school almost 50 years ago. Recently, while cleaning out my closet I pulled out materials and started it up again. I really appreciated this video and the version you used. I am now more motivated to finish my quilt. Thank you!
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.
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
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!!!
Your quilt is stunning! It is quite an accomplishment to finish such a large, gorgeous work. Congratulations! Thank you for sharing this tutorial!
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.
What a treasure
Today I finished mine… 110 inches x 110 inches. It took 2 years but its done! Thank you for giving me the idea. I WON’T be doing it again!
Right!!!! It's a "one and done and never do again quilt" hahahaha🤣
I just finished my extra large king cathedral window quilt. I used your tutorial. It was a lot of work. It took 1 years and 9 months. To say the least, it will be my one and only.

Absolutely beautiful ❤
Thank you for making this so easy. This is a future challenge for me. This will be a great stash buster. 😊😊

This is great. I've seen so many with no back, just raw seams. Yours is finished beautifully. Tks.
You made a beautiful quilt! Your daughter will cherish this quilt forever!
I sewed the whole quilt by hand which left the back in squares. I like yours better. Too bad I did not see this sooner!
Wow! This is gorgeous!!! 🌷

Love it. I have watched several times.

That is so beautiful. 😮 As a beginner quilter I will wait to try this.
I love this method I am going to make a picture for every day of the year but with your information on the amount of fabric there is no way I would be able to afford it, so I will just make it as big as I can afford to
*_Buying as you go is a great idea....I waited until I got a 60% coupon off at Joanns w/ a 20% off total purchase ....which made it very affordable💛_*
unfortunately in the UK we don't have a Joanne but I will be buying as I go but fabric us expensive
