{Sew} Modern Monday #21

It's Monday, and you all know 

what that means.

Time to link up your modern sewing finishes!

I am very excited to share today's finish with you all.  This spiderweb quilt has been in the works for a while now and it feels great to finally check this one off my WiP list.

Somehow I missed the boat on Momo's Wonderland when it was first released and unfortunately was never able to get my hands on any yardage.  From the sidelines I watched lots and lots of fabulous projects pop up all over blogland and flickr using that fabulous fabric wishing I could get my hands on some.  

Then one day, when I decided to stop at a tiny quilt store near by my home town, my lucked changed.  There on the shelf sat 3 honey buns of Momo's Wonderland and I snatched them up.  Since the honey bun strips were so narrow (1.5" wide) I decided to go with a traditional spiderweb using Oh Fransson!'s tutorial on Sew, Mama, Sew!


For the back, I used 5 left over blocks and framed them in Kona Coffee and paired it with Kona Candy Green.  With such a busy quilt pattern, I went with simple straight line quilting on a diagonal.

I carried over the Kona Coffee from the back, and used it as the binding fabric.

I absolutely love this quilt!  And if it weren't 90 degrees and humid out right now, I would be curled under it. :)

IN THE WORKS

Postage Stamp Quilt Along
I am over half way done piecing the quilt top.  I really love it so far, but man is it scary to think that I sewed all those little seams!  Eeek, thankfully it look's more involved than it actually was.  The drawing is tomorrow, so I need to finish this quilt up this afternoon.  Wish me luck!

Sliced Coins Quilt Along
All my coins are cut and ready to go, but I am holding off on this quilt along until I get the postage stamp quilt finished.

SUTK Swap
I have finalized on an apron design.  So excited!

{Sew} Modern Monday #3

Welcome to another {Sew} Modern Monday

here at Canoe Ridge Creations!

  

     Ladies (and gentlemen) the spiderweb quilt top is complete.  Finally.  This one has been a long time coming. :)  

     I started this quilt back in the middle of November when I first started blogging (eeekkk, that seems like awhile ago). Amazingly, even after two months, I still love this quilt.  There is just something great about taking a traditional quilt pattern and incorporating today's modern fabrics.  Yummy!

     I used the spiderweb block pattern from Sew, Mama, Sew written by Oh Fransson!  If you haven't tried this block out, I highly recommend her directions. They are very well written and straight forward, just the way I like. Instead of using scraps of varying widths like the directions suggested, I opted to use honey buns of Wonderland by MoMo for Moda.  Just to give you an idea, for this 60" by 52" top it took almost 3 honey buns.   If everything goes as planned this week (I may have just jinxed it), I am hoping to have it quilted by next weekend. My fingers are crossed.
