Cathedral Quilt Patterns
The cathedral window quilt pattern is a design that is super simple and can be creatively altered by even the most novice quilter. It basically consists of a lot of arcs, circles, diamonds and depending on which pattern you are looking at, some squares. The intention for a cathedral window quilt is for it to be very light and recreate the feeling of a typical cathedral window.
See the cathedral window quilts section for more information on this unique quilting style.
