The pattern is from the book "Big Book of Scrap Quilts". I didn't update the topic much. Anyway, I ended up making enough spiderweb blocks for three quilts. I had the blocks completed by May and then they sat. This is the first of the 3 completed. I am calling it African queen because it is queen size and has predominantly African themed fabrics. One is for a very special co-worker, one will be for my brother. I haven't decided yet what to do with the 3rd. Because the fabrics are so busy, I opted for quilting a panto on it but I think the panto still goes with the African theme of the quilt. The back is wide muslin. I used 80/20 batting and YLI cotton thread. This was quilted on my Innova longarm. The front: [ATTACH=CONFIG]504747[/ATTACH] The back [ATTACH=CONFIG]504748[/ATTACH] A close up. I found this wonderful African animal fabric and the animal pictures were the perfect size for cornerstones. There are lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, gazelle and an antelope. All animals of the Serengeti. [ATTACH=CONFIG]504751[/ATTACH] Thanks for looking. Mahalo for showing it to us. |
beautiful quilt and quilting!

Nice! Although there is nothing wrong with buying a kit, I think "kit people" sometimes lose out on the opportunity to make a one-of-a-kind stupendous creation, such as you have done!
GREAT job! I may have to just run out and buy the book! |
very nice quilt and fabrics.....
|
Your fabric selection was terrific. Your block layout is so nicely balanced. Like the thread choice you used on top.
|
Very very nice I can see why she said such nice things about it. Good for you.
|
It is beautiful, you can give the extra one to me.

That is a beautiful quilt and I usually do not like orange OR animal prints. Wow!
|
It's an absolutely stunning quilt. Well done.
