what is a ladder stitch? what you describe sounds to me like mitered
borders, except for the ladder stitch part and the hand work comment...

I'm glad you've gotten good explanations. I used attic windows in a
theater quilt I'm making for a friend of mine. I appliqued something
representing shows he has been in, and then used a maroon vertical
window piece and a black horizontal piece. Looks like a stage and is
SO cool. I love that quilt, and one day I will finish it.

BTW, I read somewhere another way to do them...after stitching the
attic pieces to the side and bottom, fold one attic piece at a 45
degree angle over the other and then do a ladder stitch to avoid
setting in the angle. That's what I usually do, but it does make for
extra hand work.

I've been quilting for about a year and want to do my 1st king size quilt.
It's a little ambitious for me, but I love the attic windows block. I've
seen different methods for doing this block, but they look a little
complicated to me. Is there an easy way to piece these? Thnx for your
help.
