Spiderweb Layout

Here's my progress so far on the spider web quilt. It's roughly 56 by 46. It's a lot of fun to construct so I will definitely make it bigger. How big I don't know yet. In any case, its time to cut more blue wedges and telephone book page triangles. To enjoy other scrap quilts, make sure to check out February's Scraptastic Tuesday.

And given Molly's fascination with the ironing board, I thought I should get an iron that is a bit more kitten friendly. I think she might also be interested in the ironing board because its the tallest location and its in the middle of the room. So it might help to have a tall cat roosting spot available in the sewing room. I welcome any suggestions you might use to safeguard your cat from your iron.

Meanwhile, Molly has also developed a fascination with the design wall and gave a pretty stern review of the spiderweb. I don't know whether she doesn't like the choice of quilt block or just thought I should rethink the block placement. And mind you, she is maintaining her sewing room duties along with her new duties as Warden Molly which includes playing pawsies with Typhoon under the door.

Great spiderweb blocks - using turquoise for the center section was inspired. No kitten suggestions; my cat doesn't hang out in my sewing room very often.

She'd heard about clearing out the cobwebs, and thought spiderwebs were the same thing...

Great Spider web quilt.

Great quilt - love that turquoise! Your kitten has nine lives of course but no tips for keeping her away. I try not to leave my iron on unguarded as my cat uses the board to get to other places! Thanks for linking up to #scraptastictuesday

Lovely quilt! I think turquoise is really one of my favourite ways to pull all the scrappy colours together!

I've been making a spiderweb quilt, too. I like your variation with solid stars and outer ring... even if Molly doesn't.
