The classic Cathedral Window patchwork block is one of my all time favourites. In fact, my first ever Patchwork project was a pair of Cathedral Window cushions for my bedroom when I was in my teens. I recently designed a cushion for Homespun Magazine, giving the cathedral block a more modern look with some “Modern Meadow” fabric by Joel Dewberry.
I also designed a set of matching coasters using a reverse Cathedral Window block. The coaster pattern is available on the Homespun site.
This is the 10th anniversary issue of Homespun and it has some terrific projects from some of my favourite designers/bloggers, including Roslyn from Bloom; Janelle Wind; and Rosalie Quindlan.
It looks great, lovely colours.
Gorgeous cushion – can’t wait to get my copy in the mail.
So So Pretty….
just love them you must be very happy …if you need a home to look after them …you know where to send them lol
Fantastic work. I have this issue and have thought I’d like to make this cushion.
Ohhhh, so lovely! You’re famous! That is a heirloom piece.
Beautiful, stunning patchwork pieces there, love Posie
What gorgeous projects Lisa. The JD fabric certainly gives them a modern twist!
Wow! These are stunning! I love the reverse coasters!
Those cushions are gorgeous and the coasters are such a great idea, off to check out the Homespun site. Hugs, Catherine xx
Like I have said before you are always full of great ideas Lisa. The cushion is lovely.
what a beautiful project Lisa! The colors really make these windows flow off this pillow. I have always wanted to try the cathedral window block.
Oh my goodness! I LOVE these projects. This is my favorite collection of all the ones my husband has designed, and you have used it so beautifully. With all the Modern Meadow fabric I have sitting in my basement, I’d better get to work on these projects. Thanks for sharing.

Okay, I see now that the instructions for the cushion aren’t available on the Homespun site. Do you have the details for this project that you could email me. I would really love to recreate this myself.

I just love this cushion! You did a beautiful job making it. It is so pretty. I have always loved the look of cathedral windows, but have never been taught how to do them, are they difficult to do? I have only been a quilter for a few years, so still have lots to learn. Hugs n Blessings from Sue x
