Cathedral Windows Rag Quilt Pattern

Saturday July 11, 2009
Before it was finished, lots of you offered opinions about which fabric should be the focal point of this Cathedral Windows Rag Quilt. The remarks were pretty evenly divided. Some felt that the multi-color print would be too abrasive on the front of the quilt, while others thought the pastel would appear too faded.

I think the results show that the multi-color fabric actually moves to the background a bit when it's surrounded by the ragged circular sections of the pastel, but I do like the layout shown here, which flip-flops fabrics on the outer edge of the quilt.

It's easy to create your own size and layout for the Cathedral Windows rag quilt, but if this is your first rag quilt, be sure to read Rag Quilt General Instructions before you begin.

UPDATE: There's a problem on page 1 -- links to pages 2 through 5 are not visible. Use this link to reach page 2. Navigation is intact from that point forward.
