Anyway this is my version of the spiderweb quilt. I made it when I was just starting quilting. It was great to just put things together. I tried to use as little thinking as possible. I just had fun, and used a lot of color. I think that is why I am so drawn to it. It reminds me of my grandmother's quilts, scrappy.
I tried my best to add as many different pieces as I had available. Even the white areas are made of different white prints, and some tan. When I started I really didn't have a plan of size. I just kept going to the point you now see. There is also some special pieces left over from my boy's quilts and just fabrics that seem to evoke a memory for me. I have to tell you that I bought nothing new for this quilt top. It still amazes me to make something from nothing or little. 
I hand quilted this around each of the stars and thru the spiderwebs. I used different colored quilting threads. I just seemed to fit the scrappy feeling. I didn't want to go for a matching look. I wanted more of favored piece. Which it very much is.
Thanks go to Amy for showcasing so many beautiful quilts and the storyies behind them.

La cosa bella di questo "quilt festival" è che vedi blocchi che vanno a formare trapunte che non ho mai visto prima....
ReplyDeleteAnche questa è bellissima, sicuramente da tenere presente per i progetti futuri....
Ciao Domenica
So many beautiful fabrics and what a great design! It reminded me of my grandmother's quilt, too. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteDon't you love being able to see all those pretty fabrics when you wake up?
ReplyDeleteIt's really wonderful. I love just staring at quilts like that -- you can see something different every time, and if you've used scraps, sometimes they bring up memories. I've just started my first Spider Web quilt, and can't wait to finish it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I love quilts that use the entire spectrum of colors, like this one -- make yourself happy, I always say. And this quilt is such a happy one!
