WIP Cathedral Window Patchwork Project

After a long long time, I am back to crafting. The most interesting thing that I wanted to start AND complete was the cathedral window patchwork. All my friends in the craft meet-up had completed some amazing looking projects and I fell in love with the concept instantly. Cathedral Window project is basically a hand stitched patchwork, which comprises of contrasting pieces of cloth for the background and foreground, stitched so that it creates an illusion of small windows in the completed project. Of course, some people would prefer to machine stitch it, but the effect is so much better when its hand stitched. I started it off a month back and did the base in a plain pista green colored cloth and in the meet-up, when everyone met, I got the instructions from them on how to proceed with the coloured pieces for the foreground to depict the windows. Here are some pics from the project. Close Up View of the cathedral window Look at the bottom: Starting the cathedral window stitc
