Spiderweb progress

Here they are - the 18 blocks I have to date:

Isn't it great? I'm planning on finishing the 1/2 row and then adding one more for a 5x5 layout. I still have 1/4 bucket of scraps...and a lot of strings. It'll be interesting to see what happens after 7 more blocks!!

I'm really starting to dig the yellow too - I'm so happy I found more so that it'll be the same exact farbic throughout.

More Spiderweb Blocks

Happy Memorial Day! Thank you to all of our patriotic men and women who have fought and are fighting for our freedom. We can't say thank you enough! We live in a military town and we appreciate these brave people who lay their lives on the line for us.

It's been a beautiful weekend here. We were a little worried as it was a little cooler than we liked but as the weekend continued, it warmed up nicely. Today felt like summer!

We only made it to one movie - Battleship. Loved it!  Great effects! Great timing to see it this weekend. Sad the theater was almost empty.... Next is MIB3...love that series! Should be a good one.

I've been picking out paper piecing papers from some new spiderweb blocks. I made 10 blocks and have picked out half of them. I did buy some yellow fabric as I used all that I had...or so I thought. I hadn't found anything to match, but did pick up a couple yards of something darker and another fabric that was the reverse coloration. Then I washed them and was putting them away when I found nearly 2 more yards of my original fabric.  Here's the 8 finished blocks:

Yep, that yellow fabric was what I was looking for. I can't remember how many years I've had it...I had bought a ton and have used it in a quilt and as backing... this will be the last quilt as I'm double the above picture with the blocks I've got made...and then I need to figure out how many more to make...

That's about it for this weekend. We have a 3 day work week this week with the holiday today and our regular day off Friday. Woo Hoo!

Starry Eyed finish x2 and Spiderweb blocks

Wow, can it be nearly a month ago that I posted? We had a few things going on during our last couple of weekends. I try and post Sunday nights and by then, I was too tired...or not home...or...

Here's what I've been working on:

 

Starry Eyed x2 --- both back from the quilter and I bound them both in a black print. They are both amazing and have the reindeer's names in the quilting. The names match how they are spelt in one of the fabrics in this line.

Can you see "donner" in the middle of this picture? so cute!!!! I made two - one to keep and one to sell.

Spiderweb blocks - Here's what I have so far. I sewed and sewed and sewed...and only have 8 blocks so I'll be sewing a TON more on these. I was a little bummed at how many strips/strings/scraps I still have until I saw how small this is so far. I'm starting to like the yellow. I wasn't too sure after the first two blocks, but I'm loving it now.

I also have some Granny Square blocks with a black background and another quilt top finish. I forgot to take pictures of these two things, so I'll get that done and then post them. You'll love them as they are both looking fantastic!

Have a great week - I hope to get in some sewing during the upcoming 3-day weekend... WOO HOO!!
