My Top Has Spider Webs All Over It

Spider Webs

54 x 75

It's a top!

I started making these blocks last year.

As the strings got a little shorter and skinnier I used them to make a Spider Web blocks.  I  used that black with multicolor in all of the blocks. I bought a few yards of that fabric for backings when I made Friendship Star quilts for my granddaughter's friends after she passed away. I liked it because it was black/rainbow multicolor with peace signs. I didn't notice when I bought it online that it also has marijuana leaves on it. I didn't end up using it as backings for the quilts for Kayla's friends. And I don't to use it in any quilts for kids so this will be a comfort quilt marked for adults. Anyone who gets it will probably think some old lady made the quilt and didn't know those were marijuana leaves. And maybe an older recipient might not know those are marijuana leaves. 

I've made several Spider Web quilts using different methods but I like Bonnie Hunter's method the best.

Peace out!

And sew on...

REMEMBER, TREASURE, GROW, READ (my words of the year)

After days of below zero temps and snow it was up into the 50s yesterday so I put on my boots and took a walk around the yard. The ground is still frozen and there were puddles everywhere and it was muddy everywhere else but it was nice to be out walking in the fresh air dreaming of spring growth. 

I did do a bit more winter sowing of seeds -- this time I planted in milk jugs. I forgot to take a pic of them on the deck after planting. I will probably do more planting today.  From the pic above I didn't end up planting the Canadian Milk Vetch and Tall Thimbleweed seeds because I need to scarify those seeds and I didn't want to go looking for sandpaper to do that. Since I had milk jugs ready for planting I planted Indian Spring Hollyhock and Black Gem Cornflowers instead.
