A Quilt for Jessica





Here are some pictures of the quilt I am making for my daughter Jessica.  The fabrics that I used are Terraine designed by Kate Spain, this fabric is just so beautiful.  Jessica fell in love with the fabric as soon as she saw it and wanted me to make her a quilt with it.  I saw this spiderweb quilt in a magazine, and since I love spiders and spiderwebs I thought this would be a good design for the fabrics.  I started out with the size of the blocks that they used in the magazine, then I felt I would like larger blocks, so I enlarged the block.  Then I made a practice block with pink strips that I had left over from another project, I did not want to waste the Terraine Jelly Roll.  I will make the smaller blocks into toss cushions for the bed.   Jessica is very happy, she says that this quilt is her favorite quilt I have ever made.  It is not finished yet, I will post a picture of the finished quilt when that time comes.
