I know that I have a hard time staying on track but that's just ME! :) Yesterday I had planned on doing my dresden centers but then I got an email from my good friend, Janet offering me some deep mustard fabric to try for the centers, so I believe that I will see how that looks before I start with the brown.
Since I decided to put my Dresden's on hold for a few days I loaded a quilt on the frame. It is my Spiderweb quilt that I finished back in July of 2012. I started it in June of 2011, LOL so it had taken me a few years to get to this point. Oh well, at least it will be finished soon.
I had several red bobbins ready to go but they where a tiny bit darker than the red in the quilt. Not that it mattered really but I wasn't sure if I wanted that DARK red thread going all though my spiderweb blocks. I thought since they had so much movement going on that I might just use something that blended with the blocks a little better so I went with a beige/gold color. It does show up in the borders but that is fine, I just didn't want the blocks to look so busy. I got a few passes quilted and I think I will stop for the night and finish it up tomorrow. The quilt measures 74x74 so it will not take too long to quilt. I'm using a design called Dazzle.
Here is the view that I had from behind my quilting machine. LOL! The boys having fun with their quilt. :) Leo kept laying on his cars. :)
I think Leo finally got tired and moved to his own quilt....boys. LOL!
Hopefully tomorrow I can post a photo of my Spiderweb quilt completely quilted. I have the binding ready....somewhere, I just have to find it.
Blessings...

I love the Spiderweb. Glad you can get to that while you wait for the fabric I'll be sending tomorrow.
Beautiful Kristie. Love your dresden plates in the last post.
Wow, it looks beautiful. Do you have a destination for it when its finished?
I think I used a variegated thread when I quilted my spider web quilt, but I really think anything would work!
I can't wait to see your spiderweb quilt!
