I used only fabrics from my stash. the back is some Heather Ross pony fabric, which for some reason I have two yards of. I have no idea why I ever bought so much. I even had a few yards of tan binding left from my Plain Spoken quilt, so I only needed to make a few more feet of binding to finish it. I quilted it in and around each spiderweb.
this picture of it in direct sun is mostly terrible but a little bit awesome.
And it could be yours!
Because I have a crazy number of baby quilts in storage, I've offered to donate this to my mom to have a giveaway on her blog. I would give it away here, except last time I tried a giveaway, no one entered until after the contest ended. (it's fine, because I do love my woolly mammoth.)
Anyway, help my mom have a more successful giveaway contest, drop by her blog, and leave a comment to win the quilt.
You could use it as a baby quilt, a wall hanging or toss it over the back of a chair. Or if you're a quilter, you could use it as an excuse to cross off "tedious paper-pieced but awesome looking spiderweb quilt" off your to-do list.

p.s. i think that i may have lied in my previous comment! now i think that i did know that you blogged, but did you maybe take a really long break at one point??
anyway, i keep up with you on flickr! i just didn't want to be a liar-liar-pants-on-fire. :)
Thanks, Jenny! Your quilt turned out beautiful, maybe I'll have to leave a comment on my own blog. You sure are a sweetie to set up the giveaway on my blog. :) :) :)
So generous! I'm in the midst of making one of these myself so I don't think I'll enter, but I'm off to check out your mom's blog!
jenny, I just left a comment over at your mom's blog and can't understand how I missed out on your wooly mammoth giveaway. Love your spiderweb quilt and hope it finds it's way to me. LOL
Wow, your wooly mammoth is pretty awesome. And the quilt is gorgeous. I can't believe you're giving it away!
I want it! The quilting is awesome. The fabrics fabulous. And I love spider web quilts. Hurring over to your mom's blog now!!!
this is amazing! I love the fabrics and colors. I will make a spiderweb quilt someday :)
Oh my goodness - this is gorgeous! I would have totally entered if you gave this away here and now will be off to your mom's blog to enter. I love your blog - you're in my Google subscriptions...
so fun checking out your mom's blog...it's so great that you both sew, both blog...so cool!
Adorable.
Are you listed for announcements about your blog? I have to say I have alerts for give aways and even this one didn't get announced in my email.
Off to visit your mom.
Jenny, I was reading your blog and admiring your quilt, and my draw just dropped when you announced that it could be mine! I definitely would have entered here as well, but at least this way, I got a chance to "meet" your Mom and add her to my bloglines as well.
I had a similar problem first time I had a give away - two prizes and um, three entrants so I rushed out bought another prize and everyone was a winner, but I didn't tell them that. I love the spider web quilt and had to dash to your mother's blog to enter.
So nice! I'm sort of amazed that you used up that much Heather Ross on the back, seeing as how her stuff is getting rare now that she's not allowed to design for a while. Good on ya!
i am absolutely CRAZY for your "mostly terrible but a little bit awesome" photo. Would that I could get the sun to make my quilts glow!
super love it.
