WIP Wednesday {Maple Leaf Rag} II

This is the second WIP Wednesday of my Maple Leaf Rag. (You can see the first here ). I know what you're thinking... it doesn't look that much different. I can't get it all in the pic, also it's very time consuming. But I still love every minute of it! I never want it to end :).

At the moment this is my favorite "web"... It's not sewn together yet, so it looks a little off but I can assure you it won't be ;).

Thanks for dropping in!

WIP Wednesday {Maple Leaf Rag}

It is still Wednesday... right? (Well, for a few more hours anyway)
When I saw Megan post her Maple Leaf Rag back when it was a WIP,
I knew I had to make one too :). Go to her blog! You're gonna flip!
If you haven't checked out Material Obsession 2,
I hightly recommend you do so! I bought it last time I was at Quiltique
(before no fabric February).
Here is mine... I'm about 1/3 way there and lovin' EVERY minute of it!

The pattern has you cut 1/2 squares from quilters muslin. I didn't follow that part of the pattern (I'm wild, I know ;)...) because I predicted the seams of the webs wouldn't line up that way. Also, that would make it SO thick, as you all know I'm a hand quilter and I prefer my thickness in batting. FLUFFY, just like me! Haha! Anyway, I'm glad I did it this way, cause my seams are lining up PERFECTY!
