Whew! This seemed like a forever project....but the top is together....
This is Kathy Doughty's pattern from Material Obsession 2. Although, I used the Marti Michell kite template which translated into smaller blocks than the Material Obsession quilt.
Even so...it is a healthy twin bed size.
Shortly after piecing the webs together I dismissed any notion of getting the strips to line up perfectly....who needs perfection? I love the free-spirited nature of this quilt.
However, I did pay attention to the points in the stars so I didn't lose the spiderweb shape in the end.
This one is for Maggie....Scrumptious Scrappy Fun!
Now to baste and hand quilt. I am considering something a little different in the quilting of this one. So many seams! Stay tuned....
And to help me - just in time - I received my giveaway win from Kelly at Pinkadot Quilts!!!
I can't wait to test out these pens for marking. I have heard so much about them. The little piece of fabric is just precious and the candy bar.....yum! It was just the right touch!
Have a wonderful weekend!
happy friday

Wow! Gorgeous quilt.
ReplyDeleteThis looks fabulous. I look forward to seeing how you will hand quilt it. Will you use Perle cottons?. This will be another of your wonderful quilts and your super combination of fabrics, designs and stitching.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun and cheery quilt. And what a nice little win!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a wonderful, bright, happy finished top!!! Molly is golly to love it, though I see Flanders thinks its for him.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Mary, you live a very colourful life methinks!
ReplyDeleteNaughty Flanders!!
Have a great weekend!
It's a very 30's looking spiderweb. I think you did a good job.
ReplyDeleteAn absolute gorgeous finish!!
ReplyDeleteThis beauty is on my "someday" list. Love it! How fun that you won Kelly's giveaway.
ReplyDeleteFabulous quilt! Congratulations. I may have to make this one sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteSuch a happy, happy quilt! Love your colorful combination... Enjoy the quilting!

Incredible!!! I adore the scrappiness and yummy fabrics! I'm learning so much from you about being bold and using colour - I just love it!
ReplyDeleteSuch cheery colours - especially welcome at this time of the year.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is so pretty! Glad to see that you decided not to stress over the matching of all the stripes; now I don't feel so alone in that. I am nearing the end of a spider top as well full of cottons and silks - it is so mesmerizing to see it all come together.
ReplyDeleteoh mary! it is beautiful! how do you love those pens? awesome right?
ReplyDeleteOh man Mary I can't sqeaul enough about how I LOVE those Frixxon pens! I get mine from www.jetpens.com in all different colors and tips sizes, they even have markers! One precaution is that the ink is Thermal which is why rubbing (making heat) makes them disappear. So if you write something and leave it in the car on a hot day the ink will seem to vanish, but on the flip side extreme cold (like in the freezer) will bring back all the marks.
