Webbing-Bonnie Hunter
Bonnie showed how to web a quilt top in order on her last Quiltcam. I wanted to try it so I webbed my cat blocks in vertical rows. All I have to do now is sew the short cross rows seams together. It really does help keep everything in the order I had it laid out. The black cat is a bit of a rascal so he's snuggled up to his girlfriend.[ATTACH=CONFIG]579462[/ATTACH]

The cats are together and I may add 2-1/2 inch borders of the background yellow all around but I will think on it awhile. It is currently 36-1/2 by 54-1/2 .[ATTACH=CONFIG]579469[/ATTACH]

Webbing is kind of like chain stitching but with finished blocks instead of piecing. You lay your block out the way you want them and then flip the second row over the first row and pick them up in order. You sew the blocks seam together and keep the next blocks butted up to the last one without cutting the thread between them. You do that across your whole quilt and end up with it all attached( or webbed) . This keeps everything in the right position and then you just sew the hirizontal seams. I think Bonnie added the video to her site www.quiltville.blogspot.ca but it is also in her Quiltcam video on YouTube.
