After about a gazillion years, I have finally finished the Spiderweb.
Now that you have all gotten back into your chairs after that shock, I have to tell you that, yes, I have finished the Spiderweb.
The easiest part of this quilt was sewing down the binding. The Reflections fabric was so easy to needle that the binding practically attached itself to the quilt.
This quilt was started in 1998 after I saw an article in Quilter’s Newsletter magazine by Beverly Dunivent.
This has been a 16 year journey that involved a lot of paper piecing, a long time not working on it and finally a commitment to get UFOs out of my life.
I love it! The dark grey background is the perfect complement to the webs. Good on ya!
Thanks!
This is a wonderful quilt, Jaye! I love how you achieved so much motion, each section seems to spin with joy. Congratulations!
Thank you! Everyone’s comments make me look at it again.
That is truly awesome!! Congrats ona major finish!
It is stunningly beautiful! I love this quilt! So proud of you for bustin’ through this UFO!
Awesome finish Jaye! It’s really wonderful. 🙂 What are you going to do with it now that it’s done?
Gorgeous! What’s a few years when the result is so wonderful?
This is spectacular, Jaye. It must feel like a weight is off your shoulders. Congratulations on this finish!
It really is spectacular, still love that grey background fabric. It must feel so great to have this one done! Congrats!
Thanks all! It is great to have it done. With this one finished, it makes me feel like I have made real progress on the 26 Projects list. Now to get the Tarts done!
I love this quilt and almost missed this post. It gives me hope that someday my spider web quilt will be done – though I pray it isn’t 16 years!
The gray is a perfect background, and the scraps are soooo YOU!
You can do it. Definitely don’t wait 16 years. That is too long for a UFO to be hanging around. I love your spiderweb blocks. I have to say that they don’t lend themselves well to leaders and enders. Just do a few every weekend and you will make progress. Organization is key, too, but I am sure you are extremely organized.
I. LOVE. THIS. QUILT! If you won’t give it to me may I please have the pattern? It fits perfectly with my house decor – see my blog post from Nov. 23, 2012!
