Try New Things (TNT) Thursday: Guest Blogging a Tutorial for Gothic Windows

To say that I'm just a little excited to be guest blogging with a tutorial for a block I created could be the understatement of my quilty world. Today I'm guest blogging at Happy Quilting, showing how to make Gothic Windows.

Gothic Windows made from just three 2 1/2" (Jelly Roll sized) wide strips of contrasting fabric.

What Melissa at Happy Quilting may not realize is that she got me started in "modern" quilting and blogging! It was from her Sugar Pop N Change tutorial that I made my first "modern" quilt. She also featured my quilt on her blog, along with several others who made this quilt, which first gave me the idea to start a blog.

Transitions!

So please hop on over to visit Melissa at Happy Quilting and see how to make Gothic Windows!
