My blocks are together, as are a few rows. My goal this time was to learn how to "complete" each web before the border starts . No chopped off webs! I'll probably make a narrow border, then a wider one. Backgrounds are also scrappy. This started a few weeks ago, with a real in-person meeting with Karla Alexander (many quilt books!). Her pattern is called "Tango" - done in blues. I wish I had used blues, since I'd already had made a spider web with earth colors. Oh well! This is one of those "can't see the forest for the trees" syndromes - I just was so intent on the newer method, I totally forgot choices of colors. LOL
Again, here is how it goes together - not like you might expect. See the diagonal seam line across the block? 2 of them fit together to make the square block.
Here is my previous finished quilt - I like it but don't like how the webs kinda just stop where they meet the borders. Soooo, now I have two! Good grief.
Oh, those cobwebs proliferate! I think you will be pleased with the whole-web version. I agree about the look of the half-webs.
ReplyDeleteI guess so many quilts, especially those set on point, can end with half blocks that it had never occurred to me that there could be a better way. It does look nice the way the webs on your new version just seem to float on the quilt top.
ReplyDeleteI like it better too! I will need to keep it in mind if I ever get one of these quilts made - which I really want to do.
