Modular Cathedral: single window block



Here's the first variation I'm trying on the modular cathedral window. This is a 9 inch finished block. To make it, you need:

-four 5 inch squares for the background.

-four white 4 inch squares for the curves.

-one square for the center that measures 4 and 3/4 inches (not shown, oops!)

Start by pressing the four white squares in half along the diagonal. Then lay one folded square in the corner of each background square.

 
Use a dab of glue or a glue stick to secure each corner of the folded white squares.



Arrange the blocks and sew together with a 1/4" seam allowance. (Midstream fabric change!)

Lay the center square in the middle of the block. Use a dab of glue to secure each corner.

Fold down each curve and pin. Starting at one corner, stitch along the curve edge slowly.

As you approach the end of one curve, raise the presser foot and coax the next curve underneath it. Lower the foot, stitch to the end of the curve and continue directly on to the next curve.



When I finished this block I realized you can hear angels singing when you see it all completed.
