Flying Geese, Cathedral Windows & Jacquie Gering; February 2016

The Easy, Modern Cathedral Window Method

Welcome to the Pensacola MQG blog. This month, we had a wonderful presentation given by Janie. She showed us the traditional, time consuming way to make the cathedral window block, followed by the modern, quick way. We've put together a board on Pinterest where you can find many different methods and various examples. See the link below.

Janie's beautiful cathedral window pin-on note board uses fabric from Bonnie and Camille.

Fabric Swap

Suzie is heading up the fabric swaps. We are doing up to 2 yards of Kona solid fat eighths. 

Put 8 fat eighths in a bag and label the color with a sticky note and your name. They don't have to all be the same color. The cutting diagram is below. If you want to come early, Yvonne can help with the cutting. Please update the Facebook swap photo album with the fabrics you are swapping. This will help us not get any duplicates.  There is a link to the facebook group in the right sidebar. 

 *Disclaimer- You may not get back a piece of the color fabric that you bring.*
