Blogger’s Quilt Festival

Today I am posting my entry into the Blogger's Quilt Festival over at Amy's Creative Side.

My entry is my Spiderweb 2 quilt. 

This is a 96" X 108" quilt made using all black & white fabrics with the exception of the binding. I threw in a little pop of color on the binding. 

Here's a picture before the quilting...


I originally made this quilt as a commission but when the intended buyer did not take the quilt, it went to live on my bed. It looks great there and I am happy that things worked out that way in the end.

    I've made 2 spider web quilts, and I know how much work goes into them. Great finish!

      Thanks, Laura! This was my second black & white spiderweb. The first one took 4 months & this one took 6 weeks. I love them!

    Wow! That's a beautiful quilt. I bought some fabrics to make a black/white quilt.

    Oh, I love this in black and white! I never would have thought to use that color combo on this pattern, and it is just wonderful!!!

      I know I have seen them everywhere in every sort of color scheme but the minute I saw the spiderweb I immediately thought of black & white. Thank you!
