What’s on my Design Wall Monday, September 5, 2011

My UFO assignment for September (according to my lucky number drawn by Judy Laquidara of Patchworktimes.com) is my Spiderweb Quilt. This quilt was designed by Bonnie K. Hunter (and I took a workshop from her recently – well, sort of recently!)
So today I pulled out my big bag of scraps and started string piecing! This is a great way to use up odds and ends of fabric in all sizes! For some reason, I really enjoy using these little pieces. (My sister-in-love, Kerry, might recognize a couple of brown and turquoise pieces from her king sized log cabin quilt that I made for her a few years ago!!!)
If you like it and want to make one too, you can get the pattern FREE on Bonnie K. Hunter’s website at www.quiltville.com
Where she has used pink, I am using black. MAYBE THIS WILL BE MY HALLOWEEN QUILT! Well, I need to get it finished in September if I don’t want to spoil my record. So far I have finished my UFO each month since January! But, alas, school starts Tuesday and I am once again a working woman – so we will see!

Happy sewing everyone – and have a safe and HAPPY LABOR DAY!
Love the scrapy look to the quilt. I may just have to save that pattern, I am over flowing in scraps these days.
I *love* the black — it really sets off the strings! Happy Labor Day to you too — have a happy first day of school! 🙂
Ohhh I really like the black – it really anchors the quilt!
I love your UFO! That is my next string project. I love it with black! Congrats on finishing all the UFOs. You are doing great!! Have fun at school. 🙂
I really like the black. What a great project. I am going to take a class from Bonnie Hunter on the 15th and just can’t wait. Her patterns really motivate me.
I like you black version of the string blocks. Good luck maintaining your UFO completetion record.
I love the black, gives it so much depth. Can’t wait to see it finished!
I just finished a spiderweb quilt and found it very challenging to put together. But I didn’t sew it Bonnie’s way, so hopefully you will have an easier time of it!
