Church Windows (lazy girl Cathedral Windows)

You may have noticed I have a slight obsession with 3 dimensional flying geese. Well a while back (last spring) I came up with something I was pretty proud of...a quickie cathedral window block.

 Then I found out someone pretty much used this same concept to make something called a 15 minute quilt?  The difference is that they made their patchwork spaces huge in comparison to the white diamonds.  There really are no new ideas...just newly discovered ones.  SIGH!

As you can see, the top is a 3d flying geese.  The bottom is the completed block where 2 of the 3d flying geese are joined at the white portion then turned over by machine.

I can't imagine doing a bed size of this...it would weigh a ton!  Then again, I think real cathedral windows probably weigh a ton, too.  I'd love to have one of these professionally quilted, but after working over those multi-layered seams I think I'd be "fired" by the professional quilter!
