I wanted to create an original "super hero" quilt for my grand guys birthday quilt this year.
He and I always have fun playing "Spiderman" with silly string and I wanted to capture that memory. I searched the internet for ideas and found none. When while on a walk I thought to use a color sheet.
I used my projector at school and enlarged it to the size I wanted for the quilt.
I then traced and cut all my pieces.

Then using the livingroom window as my "lightbox"
...I taped the pattern and my background fabric to the window and...
...with my Roxanne Basting Glue, positioned and secured all the pieces. I also marked the web for quilting. (Of which I ordered metallic thread for! Won't that be cool!!)
Here's what he looks like all sewn together:
This one is going to be fun to quilt. Stay tuned!
