Cathedral Window Quilt

The Cathedral Window Quilt at Home

4/12/2016

My brother, Tim, sent me a photo of the Cathedral Window quilt in it's new home. It's perfect on this antique bed! I asked him to let Lulu model the quilt because she was the first to "admire" it when I gave it to him. I laid it on the sofa and she immediately jumped on it and settled into a little quilt nest.

I'm so glad that the quilt has found a perfect home and hopefully the grandchildren will enjoy sleeping under it. If you missed the Cathedral Window drama you can read all about the background of this quilt on my Cathedral Window page.

In website news, I am sooooo close! I have about 60 more products to load and then I'll be ready for you to visit.

Love it!! I think that quilt looks so perfect on that bed. I know it was a lot of work (and many years) on that quilt and I can not begin to imagine making one - really looks good.

I'm really happy about it. I couldn't have given it to a better caretaker and it's perfect on that bed. Do no ever even think about making one. It's not all that much fun.

It looks great on the antique bed.

And the added bonus that Lulu likes it. You've never met a more spoiled pet!

Vicki, this is GORGEOUS. I cannot imagine how much time must have gone into it! Question (for anyone): I have wanted to make a quilt for my son and his wife, but they have a dog (who looks a bit like Lulu, actually) and her long toenails do, sooner than later, wear out things on which she loves to lie down. You see where this is going. I have to wonder how soon I would be making repairs...? I'm not a dog owner, so I don't know if I'm being overly concerned or not.

I'm happy to say that I didn't track the time on this but just the hand sewing averaged an hour for each window I think. I'm just happy the beast is done and out of my house!
I can't really speak to the effect of dogs on quilts but I know I wouldn't make anything fancy if I knew a dog was going to be on it often. I'd rather make a replacement quilt every few years than to do repairs! Knowing my brother, that's the last time that quilt will have Lulu on it. He did that because I asked him to. :)

Great job on the quilt. It does look antique-y.

I admire things like that but I don't like them because I prefer things that can be used. I fussed over the first few quilts I made when the cats did some damage. I LIKE having my cats on the bed so I decided to go with quilts that can be repaired.... and I keep their claws trimmed these days.

If I know my brother this is the last time that Lulu will be on this quilt. I asked him to put her on it for a photo. But, that said, I do like for quilts to be used and I hope they will use this one. I'm just happy that it found a good home!
