Cathedral Square Quilt Block

Isn't this pretty?  I love it! 

I didn't get much quilting done this week.  We are in the middle of painting our kitchen and living room and getting ready for new carpet, so our house is a complete mess, things moved around everywhere.  Our furnace was not working Saturday afternoon until Sunday afternoon when it was fixed (very cold here in the middle of a snow storm).  After Wednesday's carpet installation, I'll be sewing for my sanity again and hopefully enjoying my freshly updated house.

About the block above, it is a pattern called Cathedral Square from Freshly Pieced.  I purchased the PDF pattern and really wanted to make the quilt.  One of our local quilt shops is closing (Muddy Creek Originals) and had a nice sale of 45% off everything, so I decided to get fabrics to make this quilt because I had to buy something.  How can you possibly pass up 45% off????

Here is a picture of the completed quilt from the pattern.  I did cut all the fabric for the quilt before the painting project began, and I have pieced together just a little, but I wanted to complete one block and see how it would look.  I am very happy with it, and the pieces went together perfectly.  It is a very nicely written pattern.  I am making the lap size which means I have to make about 29 more blocks.  Don't worry, I'll definitely show you when it's finished!

Thanks so much for stopping in and seeing what I'm working on!
