My box of selvages was overflowing so I sat down and busted out a stack of spider web blocks. These blocks are the epitome of my selvage obsession. This project has been going on for 2 years now, and I've only made half the blocks I want to eventually make!
It's intense sewing, just ask my back- completely destroyed (at least for the next couple of days). Oodles of selvages, small seams,
trimming and paper ripping.
When all those triangles come together they create fabulous spiderwebs. Very visually interesting if you ask me.
Eventually I hope to have enough to make a queen size quilt for my guest room. But I'm estimating that is still another 2 years away, and when I finish the blocks I'll still have to sew them all together and get it quilted, because I really don't want to quilt this myself.
All told I figure it will be a 5 year project, and I'm
ok with that because it is an enjoyable diversion to pull out
in between other projects. And a good selvage fix.
