Sunday sketch #425
Although I’m not planning on submitting anything to the Transparency Quilting Challenge at QuiltCon 2025, this concept seems to have influenced a few of my designs lately.

Although I’m not planning on submitting anything to the Transparency Quilting Challenge at QuiltCon 2025, this concept seems to have influenced a few of my designs lately.
I’m not sure I’ve ever designed with an economy block before, but I had an idea for one, so here we are.
I never stop learning new things in quilting! Earlier this year, I saw a new-to-me shape on the Instagram feed of Daisy Aschehoug (WarmFolk) – she’d been playing with it and wondered if it had a name. Other people commented that it’s called a bishop’s hat or cathedral window block (not to be confused with the cathedral window technique), or a cathedral arch or gothic arch. Or it could just be described as a double-cut drunkard’s path. Daisy’s been creating some really fun designs with it – see here and my favourite here.
