Spring cleaning in the house has been mixed with bits of progress on other projects. I have finished the spider web quilt top.
The blocks ended up about 10 inches square. If I were to do this quilt
again I think I'd try for larger blocks. Mine ended up this size
because the triangle guide was made by cutting a forty five degree
corner off of an 8 and a half by 11 inch piece of paper.
Also, some of the pieces on the triangle points were too small. By the time the triangles were all sewn together there wasn't much left of the fabric piece to see. This added a lot of extra seam allowance bulk where the eight points come together.
When it is flat on the floor it doesn't look puckery like it does hanging on the line. I think all those bias cut edges are a little stretched and saggy in the photo. I am pretty happy with it. It is pinned and ready for quilting.
Kim suggested that I make this couch size so that is what I did. P now says she wants this for her bed. She says she NEEDS another quilt, and this one has pink in it!
After graduation I may fix a little tutorial on how I made the blocks. They are not foundation pieced.
