Modern Vintage

So a while back I was browing blogs and came across a tutorial for doing cathedral windows. I'm not a quilter...I have done a few pieced items and quilted oven mitts, but that's it...but since this design is technically not quilting, I thought "Why not?". So I started thinking about it...and thinking about it...and building it in my head for a while. Then I got busy with this custom order and that custom order and so on and started sewing each night in my dreams! I couldn't wait to pair this very traditional design with bold modern prints. I had some Amy Butler scraps that I had been saving for a rainy day and they suited this project perfectly. Now I have to admit, I didn't use the traditional method for creating the cathedral windows (in that I did absolutly NO hand stitching), but it still took more time than I had anticipated and I think looks amazing. I was so inspired, that I started making a crib set using this same design...that's all I'll say for now, but I hope to have it finished by the end of the summer (although it may have to be backburnered until school starts). So without further ado....
