Can anyone give me instruction on joing the points for a Cathedral window quilt? I have started one on my own, but I’m not happy with the way my point look where they meet.

Dear Gloria
I am not a quilter, but my mom is. So I can only point you in a direction. Georgia Bonesteel has written many books on quilting and I know I have seen Cathedral window quilts in her books. Perhaps you could get a few from your local library?
Other than that, from my mom, I know you need to cut and sew carefully (overstating the obvious here). Are you hand sewing or machine sewing? Do you use butcher's paper to support your pieces? Apparently you can iron the shiny side to your pieces and then remove it without residue or difficulty. But you probably know that! It might not be relevant for this purpose either - shows you how much I know about quilting!
Anyway good for you and good luck! I love the Cathedral Window design!
