So, when I was piecing my several simple patchwork quilts late last year I discovered the awesomeness of web piecing. I didn't find a tutorial or anything I just did it and thought I was so clever, only to discover it was already a thing, but I'm still pretty clever. ;) So now I've applied that into so many of my other quilts that typically aren't pieced that way and I love it! I made two tops this week! I'm linking up with Freshly Pieced for WiP Wednesday.
In the middle of all of this I found this awesome Supernova Friendship Swap! So basically you get with a friend, just one, and you each sew ten blocks of the Supernova quilt. Five to keep and five to trade. Then you make up the quilt with one extra for the back or a cushion. I couldn't wait!! Izzy from Dizzy Quilts and I are doing it together and these are more or less my fabric choices. I swapped a few of the Navy ones and added another green and a couple of purples. It's not too late to join if you're interested. If you don't have a friend to do it with Stephanie can hook you up too! |
Here's a closeup of the awesome Color Me Happy fabric and the fun piecing. I love how this turned out! Now I just have to figure out how to quilt it. Suggestions? |
Love the HST quilt--so cheery! And what a good system for randomness.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt, it turned out great and I love the colors (especially that mint color), love the web piecing...It's the method I use to build the blocks, but I never did it for a full quilt though. It would probably drive me crazy because I have an urgent need to press after each seems...The quilt is absolutely lovely!
ReplyDeleteLovely HST quilt! I use web piecing too, though I've never heard it referred to by that name. I think I picked it up from an Eleanor Burns Quilt in a Day book and have been using it ever since. I love any technique that speeds up the tedious. Though pressing it all at the end can be a bit trying!
ReplyDeleteThe HST quilt is so nice! Love the background colour.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen web piecing before so I totally believe that it was your idea all along, and I won;t hear otherwise :) Love that you had your kids involved in the placing of the HST's and it produced such a lovely quilt!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of web piecing...what a concept! I'll have to try it out sometime. Your projects look great!
