Here is what I worked on! My spiderweb selvage quilt!
Here is all 200 triangles done and ready for assembly.
Here they are all pinned with a couple sewed together into blocks. I don't normally pin a whole stack, usually pin as I go. But, I wanted to be able to zip through them faster and I think I will pin ahead more often now as it definitely helped speed things along.
Here's my first block assembled. I have to make 25 of these! (although the edge and corner ones will not have the small spiderweb on the edges so I don't have any half webs in the quilt). When I finished this block, hubby had come in for a break on his painting. I beamed and said ''see what I've been working on?!'' He said ''well, I think you've lost your mind. None of those match up.'' I said ''they aren't supposed to, it's a scrap quilt!''. He said, ''you mean a clown quilt?''. HUMPH. I guess I'm the only one that has to like it! POO.
And, here is 4 blocks laid together (and my dog Tikka on the bed where she can look out the window whenever she wants!) Hubby walked in again when I had these laid out and I said ''Can you see now where I'm going with this quilt?''. He said ''ya'', and started humming a circus tune and acting like a clown. LOL, oh well!!! I think it's going to be awesome! It's definitely going to be heavier than most quilt tops I do. Although I don't think I'll ever make this type quilt again, if I ever did, I think I'd paper piece it instead of foundation piece it so that there wasn't so much bulk. That way I could press seams to the side instead of open like I have to with the foundation piecing.
Well, I have real 'work' I have to get done, and I'll probably try to think of something nice to make for Valentines day. Maybe make some cookies or something special :)
Happy Valentines day everybody!
OMG now you've given me another idea for a quilt I simply must do! I really really like this. A LOT.
ReplyDeleteWow! You're BOTH really talented!
ReplyDeleteHusbands are funny that way..LOL. You both did a fabulous job.
ReplyDeleteKinda cool, you both are artists but with a totally different perspective.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors in your hubby's painting. A quilt in those colors would be just as stunning. I really like your two size spider blocks. I hadn't seen them done that way.
