There's a new swap setting up - it's for spiderweb blocks. I said I would do it, but here's the thing. I'm really ambivalent about those centre "kites". Seems like everybody is having them done in white, or sometimes gray, but these don't resonate with me. I definitely don't want white. I have two big dogs - need I say more? And gray just doesn't thrill me for he background for this block. I kind of like this cocoa-coloured background, but not enough to make one like it. So I made a block today, using this green and ivory print from Amy Butler's Love line. I really can't tell what I think about it. I try imagine a whole quilt made with it. I think it would work - the pattern is obvious, but not too aggressive. And let me tell you, this block is some heavy lifting, timewise. I have to really like it to press ahead. So, is this block inspired or insane?
Edited to add that I Have a Notion is having a giveaway for an Accuquilt Go. Talk about insane AND inspired! It's part of their 30 days of giveaways marking the 1 year anniversary of their store, and you can enter for a chance at any of the prizes on posts from March 15 - April 15 until April 15 at 10pm CMT.
