THE SPIDER WEB BLOCKS ARE A TOP

I got all of the Spiderweb blocks made and had enough for a 7 by 9 block setting.  So, with the odd number of columns and rows I went with the diagonal setting so I wouldn't have a half of the pattern on the side and end.  

This top is 63" by 81".

NEW LOOK FOR SPIDERWEBS

 I made more Spiderweb blocks and as I squared them to the correct size I put them up on the design wall in a different configuration.

TOAD DONE

 After years of procrastination, I got out my unfinished needlepoint of this Toad and have been working on it a bit every night lately.  And, it's finally finished!  It's about 16" by 14" - a big toad.

TREE TOPS AND ANGLES QUILTED

I finished up the quilting on the Tree Tops and Angles quilt.  I used an E2E pattern with triangles.

DIFFERENT CONFIGURATION

 I squared up the blocks on one side and then put them back onto the design wall in a different configuration.

Here's how that looks.  Now I need to make a bunch more blocks.

SNAKING AROUND

It is the Year of the Snake, you know.

So, here are all of the blocks I've made so far, up on the wall.

 

Now, I need to make more strip sets and make more blocks.  

A SNAKE OR A WEB?

 I thought I'd try to make snakes instead of webs.  Not sure if it will stay this way though.

A HALF A SPIDERWEB

 After doing a much needed clean-up of the studio, I started cutting triangles from a few of the strip-sets I made during Sherri Lynn Wood's Spiderweb Workshop last week.  Then I had to figure out how I wanted to make the webs.  I decided to go with the 4-patch way.  I think I'll have more design choices with it.

So, here is the first half block I made today.  I may be cutting those 'background' pieces too big.  I don't want to run out of that polkadot fabric.  I will leave this excess on there though.  That will give me more options when I start to sew them all together.
