Black Cat Crossing Wicked Hop-My Day!!
Many thanks once again to the wonderful Madame Samm and to Wendy for hosting this Wicked Sew and Tell and allowing me play along!!
Here is the half yard bundle of Black Cat Crossing that I used for my project:
I am normally not much of a purple fabric lover but I like the pop of
color this has with those dots and stars. And ooooooooh, there are
black birds and cats.
I chose a pattern that I have used many times in the past, The X Plus Block...also known as Spool Block by Nancy Cabot. I love this block pattern and it always does so well with these type of prints.
Here is my Spiderweb quilt top in its photo shoot...
Here it is posing with the itty bitty tiny harvest of apples we had this year...wasn't a good year for apples in our backyard orchard :(
Here is a detail shot...isn't that cobwebby neutral from the Black Cat Crossing line perfect for this? I ordered it from Bear Creek Quilting Company.
Kind of looks like Spiderwebs in the Beans, eh?
I chose to do straight line quilting on this top and am very pleased with the final quilt...
Here it is amongst the pumpkins...
And among the posies...
Love those red leaves popping up on our property...
Thanks for stopping by and please be sure to stop by all the others posting today and leave them your comment love!

Your quilt is really beautiful in those fabrics and that design looks like a spider web...love it! The photos you took of the quilt and fall colors are perfect!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is FABULOUS! !! Your photos...your backgrounds...so GORGEOUS! !!! You ROCKED IT today Missie!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning g quilt! I also love your photos! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWonderful pattern for this fabric - it does look like spider webs!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt! You chose the perfect fabric combination for this design and you are so right about that background fabric (will add that to my shopping list ;o). Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful quilt (and those amazing leaves... stunning!).
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful! Due to lack of moisture this year, our Fall leaves are just falling, no color :(
ReplyDeleteLove your spiderweb quilt, the colors are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIn my part of the world we had a fantastic apple harvest, the summer was extremely warm and long, and the fall was fantastic. We harvested lots of huge SWEET apples, usually the apples are small and can only be used for cooking. Almost one month longer on the tree before frost came made wonders for the apples.
I am sure the harvest will be better for you next year!
Your quilt is stunning! You did such a good job using the different colors of this fabric line. Love your pictures!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is incredible! Those colours are simply screaming right at you! Very appropriately wicked! I loved all the pictures. Gorgeous. My sister has three apple trees in her garden. She had NO apples this year. NONE! Hopefully next year it will be better!. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove it Kris!! This pattern really does make all the prints Pop!! I am going to have to try this pattern sometime, I really like it!! Thanks for sharing your Beautiful piece with us!!
ReplyDeleteHuggs, Nancy

It's perfect! You really show off the colors and fabrics using that pattern. I especially like it without a border fabric and the orange binding really sets it off. Wonderful quilt.
ReplyDeleteKris, fantastic job with the quilt and the pictures. it really showcases this fun fabric line.
ReplyDeleteLove the view of the trees-what a splendid sight. Your quilt is beautiful.Spider web fabric is perfect background.
ReplyDeleteThe Spool Block is perfect to highlight the fabrics. You did a magnificent job on the quilt. The orange pop binding is wonderful, too. The quilt is wonderful in many settings. The red maple leaves are beautiful. It's still hot here and the leaves aren't turning yet. So, it's nice to see the fall leaves in all their majesty. We do get fall, it's just often later here in Oklahoma. It's even supposed to be a wet winter - so you never know if it's going to rain, snow, or ice. Thanks for participating in the hop and sharing a marvelous project and being a great inspiration.
