| Here's what's on my design wall today. |
 |
| It will take a while to evolve. |
 |
| It's inspired by this quilt in Gwen Marston's Liberated String Quilts book, and one by Sarah Fielke in Material Obsession Two. I'm using the templates from the MO2 book, but not the instructions. |
 |
| Remember these? (December 8) I had made them for this quilt, but had lost my courage and tried to find an easier way out. Nothing satisfied me, so I went back to the original plan. |

oooh, I love your new project! are you marking the newspaper triangles in any way to know what goes where, or just winging it?
Oh my!
This is gonna be another beauty.
You have such great color sense.
Beautiful
Happy sewing
Slowly beginning to understand your suggestions to "think a little more" and "try a little harder." Sometimes takes time to evolve.
Another thought, inspired by your first photos: increase size of blocks to 150% for very dramatic, but different effect.
My Goodness but this does grab my attention......Love it, Love it, Love it.....if I didn't already have a million UFO's I'd get crackin' on one of these babies, no problem.....have fun with it and I will follow....
I have three rows of one of these done! Started it after I got the Material Obsession book last summer...it is on my list to finish this year!
LeeAnn,
LOVE THESE! Oh continue with the first picture no matter how long it takes.. It is gorgeous! I want to start one just like this one.. right now!
Gorgeous! You are really tempting me to pull out my just started version of this and get going on it--good thing my design wall is already full!
It looks like that takes a lot of planning. I'll just enjoy your progress for now although it looks like something I'd like to do. Beautiful!
You know the easy way out is never the right way out.

Those reference quilts are favourites of mine and Yours is looking absolutely wonderful!! Go Nifty!! I love it!! I have say the photos showing newspaper look great too.
I can tell that this quilt will be worth the effort.
Wow! This is going to be incredible. I look forward to seeing it all together.
OMG! I love this spiderweb!! It is going to be one fantastic quilt. I can't wait to see how it evolves!
Fantastic! I love this to pieces!
Wow! That is quite an undertaking. I just love it! Another beauty.
Love your new project! You are off to a great start.
; )
I am so looking forward to seeing this quilt grow
can you tell me why you precut the newspaper patterns and place them up on the wall?
are you working on a specific section at a time?
I love learning how others work!
its truly beautiful.....of course now I have to go get both books out and look :)

Wow that is just breathtaking you really have a knack for putting the most fabulous fabric and color combinations together I am envious in a good way of course ,I also love the baby blanket on the previous post ,and thanks for sharing your process of the stars,I did something similar ,but cut out yellow fabric pyramid shaped and then did the spider web Marit has a great tutorial on it which I am sure you have seen and I made one ,it turned out great plus I used up my scrappy strips which I had plenty of,but I still have more the more I quilt the more scraps I get ,happy quilting.
