The Cathedral Window Barn Quilt is one of the most meaningful designs in the Moonbeams & Cabin Dreams Collection, a series inspired by the stories of my ancestors who homesteaded the Nebraska prairie in the early 1900s.
This barn quilt is a tribute to faith, family, and the places that hold our memories.
The color palette was inspired by a stained glass window dedicated to my grandmother Mildred and grandfather Alvaro in the Howard Community Church in New York. The rich reds, greens, golds, and soft tones reflect the way light filters through glass—carrying both beauty and reverence.
My family’s journey took them from New York to Belle Prairie, Nebraska, where they homesteaded the land, and then back again after the Great Depression. That story of leaving and returning is woven into this design.
Painting this large 55” Cathedral Window Barn Quilt was a deeply personal experience. Each color felt intentional. Each line felt connected. It became more than a design—it became a way to honor those who came before me.
This piece is available as:
- A finished barn quilt
- A DIY kit
- A downloadable pattern
Bring the feeling of stained glass, heritage, and handcrafted beauty into your home or outdoor space with this heirloom-inspired design.
