That looks soooo cool! I've asked my mother-in-law to teach me how to quilt. We'll see how it goes. Now I need to get my hands on a sewing machine... Good luck!
You are such an amazing quilter. I'm going to try my hand at the ragged squares quilt as I think even I can do that one, I hope.
I hope you don't mind me posting this but a dear friend's baby is waiting for a heart transplant and another friend is having a guilt giveaway to drum up awareness for this baby and for organ donation, etc. The address for the quilt giveaway is http://a-mama-drama.blogspot.com/2008/11/blog-post.html - thanks!
that is an amazing quilt. i bought the book that has this pattern in it. it is so cool.
you say this is a scrappy quilt? or maybe you called it from your stash? do you coordinate colors in any way or do you just close your eyes and go for it?
Really cute! I actually just did a square of this for a quilting bee I'm participating in to see if I liked it...verdict is: I love it! I'm cleaning out my scrap stash like nobody's business!
Here is a link to the square I did: http://nestiequilting.blogspot.com/2008/10/block-3.html
Wow! I stumbbled across you blog a couple of months ago and have been a faithful follower ever since. I hope some time soon I will make the time to try all of the wondeful things you have here. However in the mean time I will just continue to grow my stash!
I LOOOOVE this quilt! I am going to have to attempt it at some point after I finish the bag I'm making from another post you had (the patchwork bag). Thank you so much for your blog and sharing sewing/quilting expertise.
I love it! I just finished and hourglass quilt- inspired by you! it is here- http://kristilivingstone.blogspot.com/2008/11/its-finished.html thanks for all your inspiration!keep the ideas coming!
Love Love LOVE this! I would also love it if you would log how many hours you spend on a quilt like this! ;) Or, maybe that would deter you from making more beautiful quilts in the future, and we can't have that!!
Thanks for all the tutorials. They are great, especially the binding and ragged squares quilt. I appreciate that you are very specific about directions and show pictures for all the steps. THis really helps us newcomers to the quilting world!
Love it. I found another web site that has similar instructions but seemed a little easier. check it out. http://quilterscache.com/E/EasySpiderWebBlock.html
what a great blog. I´m just beginning to discover the world of quilting, I must say that I love your tutorials, they are helpfull when you are a rookie. Thank you so much!! p.s. It would be great with a tutorial for a "Grandmothers garden"
I'm not sure how big I am going to make this, but I'm wanting a KING. I think it might end up being a lap or twin. I guess I'll see when I burn out. :0)
you'll see my finished spider top includes some of those yummy Denyse Schmidt fabrics you got. What a score!! I sure wish she'd come out with that like in a new range of colors or re-release them! www.laughingduck.typepad.com
I know you hear this all of the time but seriously, I can't believe how much quilting you get done! And with little ones!! Your quilts are so fresh and beautiful and I love visiting your quilting world. Hope you're feeling better soon. x
Thanks to your inspiration, I have just started a spiderweb quilt. I just love it, and love working with the small pieces of fabric. I've only been a quilter for the last few months and now I am definitely addicted. You can see my first block here - http://icyimac.wordpress.com/
I love this one!! How big are you planning to make it?
