WIP Wednesday - spiderweb update

Not much seems to have changed since last week on my design wall. I have made quite a few more kites, but there are still lots of empty spaces!

I've moved some of the webs around and still have to make a few more changes before I'm happy with the layout, but on the whole, it's going well. It's also a lot faster than I originally envisaged, as I thought it might take me a year or two to finish:). The fabric on the floor is a flannelette I bought to possibly use for the backing - little old fashioned telephones. It might be a bit cute for this quilt, but the colours work.

Piecing of the kites is very wasteful, but tonight, I figured out a way to use less fabric, so I'm happy with that. Here is my rubbish after making two kite sets. Hopefully I won't have as much left over from now on.

I'm linking up to the Freshly Pieced WIP Wednesday at http://www.freshlypieced.com/2013/05/i-feel-like-broken-record-lately-since.html
