And once again, it's been forever since my last post. My only excuse is that it's summer time, and grandkids want to swim.In between the swimming and such, I have been working away on a Wacky Web Quilt. I'd seen the Youtube video by Missouri Star Quilt Company, and fell in love with the pattern. Having a big box of strings, I just knew I wanted this to be my first string quilt. So far I have 14 blocks made.
Perfect for passing the evenings with a good movie on in the back ground. I love mixing the colors, and the anything goes rule. It's a fun project and I'm debating on appliqueing a few spiders here and there for fun. I'm thinking this will be a nice quilt for Aiden, who is quite into bugs these days anyway.Missouri Star Quilt Company has a Wacky Web kit. It has 250 triangle papers, a WW ruler and a lapel temporary glue stick. I also bought a few Muslin Mates charm packs by Moda.
The template fits perfectly on the charm packs. I trim 4 layers at a time. It goes pretty fast.
Then a little lapel stick to the paper triangle, just enough to hold it down. Your ready to start adding your strings.The triangle papers come in a refill pack too, so you don't have to repurchase the whole kit. Or you could make your own triangle papers, but the packs are so inexpensive, and I really like how easy they tear away. Missouri Star Quilting Company is one of my favorite online shops. They always have a daily deal, that is hard to pass up. Love their videos too. Go check them out!
This is going to be a beautiful quilt! Funny, I just watched that video this morning! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Connie! I love MSQC videos. That Ms Jenny does have some great tutorials!
DeleteI love the scrappy quilts. I love how it is really coming together. Sometimes, I look at my scrap bins and think "that will never work." Then, I sit down and just have at it. The amazing part is that it always works! Thanks for sharing. I think it will be wonderful when it's finished.
ReplyDeleteThanks Becca! It's my first string quilt and I really love the freedom of just grabbing and stitching. I can't wait to finish it. Thanks for the comment!
