Spiderweb

I'm entering my first spiderweb quilt into Amy's Creative Side Blogger's Quilt Festival.  http://amyscreativeside.com/2013/05/17/bloggers-quilt-festival-spring-2013/  I'm linking mine to the scrap quilting post.

This spiderweb quilt is the first quilt I kept for myself.  I used Bonnie Hunter's directions. The blocks take longer than you would think to piece.  This quilt is a time capsule of my first 2 years of quilting. 

 


 
 
There is a lot of pink and orange in this quilt because I'd just finished Mark's orange and black quilt and Kathryn's pink nine patch.  I see scraps from a Thimbleberries quilt, a Christmas quilt, a bag I made for a friend, and many other projects. 
 
Even the flannel back is scrappy.  Most of the backing was a gift from my friend Holly.
 
 
This quilt stays in the family room most of the year.  We have other quilts downstairs, but this is the one I like the most.

Lovely and bright. I have scraps left over from almost every one of my projects. One of these days, I need to make a quilt like that, using those leftovers, for me, to remember what I've done over the years.
