spiderweb quilt the beginning (updated see post #57)
5 Attachment(s)
I started a new quilt this week and thought it would be fun to document my progress. I started collecting the fabrics last year and washed and folded them and put them away. The cutting started last weekend.
I am actually making two the same, possibly 3 once I see how big they are. I am getting 3 blocks per duplicate strip set. I decided to make things easier for me and ordered the Creative Grids spiderweb ruler. So glad I did. Makes cutting the triangles a breeze and the ruler came with a few different block patterns so it will be put to good use. I am loving spiderweb and definitley see another one of these in my future. So here we go, a sashed spiderweb quilt called African King but I am making queen size so mine will be called African Queen I and II. (love that movie!) The strip sets all cut and sorted for blocks already [ATTACH=CONFIG]461315[/ATTACH] Some triangles ready to be sewn into blocks [ATTACH=CONFIG]461359[/ATTACH] Two sets of finished blocks, I am loving how they look, only 27 more sets to go! [ATTACH=CONFIG]461318[/ATTACH] When sewing the two halves together, I took a tip from Edyta Sitar's Laundry basket quilts (Scrappy fireworks book) and started sewing from the center out. It really makes a difference in getting those tiny 8 points to meet up in the center. While not all are perfect some are and the rest are so close I am not going to redo them Perfect points: [ATTACH=CONFIG]461319[/ATTACH] Close enough: [ATTACH=CONFIG]461320[/ATTACH] |
What fun! I will be watching for updates and I LOVE it!

Love it!! Your fabric is so busy that unless you point to a block and supply a magnifying glass no one is going to see your point is .000001 of an inch off.

Looks like this will be addictive and you may not be able to stop .... til it's done!
At least that's the way it would affect me. :D Will you continue to post the progress within this thread? Please? Hope so, as it's too easy to miss updates when new threads get started repeatedly. |
Wonderful start. Great fabrics.
