Cathedral Variation

Cathedral Variation - The original quilt this was based on was made by a fellow quilter's husband's aunt, discovered in her belongings after she passed away. There was no pattern that she could find after doing much research. She finally was able to figure it out herself and taught a few classes. As the traditional Cathedral Window is done, this is completely hand sewn blocks that are then hand sewn together. I used primarily 30's fabrics, but used others as well, and muslin. It's great to use up scraps. You can make it as large or small as you want. The blocks are small enough that they're easily taken to appointments or wherever you know you're going to have a wait time. I also love it because when I'm between completing quilting large quilts I still have handwork I can do while 'listening" to TV.
