Halloween Spiders Half Hexie Quilt Finish


Halloween Spiders Half Hexie Quilt Finish

The spiders are creeping down the quilt, some half hidden, some in full sight. These are the friendly kind of spiders though, and have done a lot in reality to get me through some of my own fear of them. Having to look through pictures of all kinds of arachnids was unpleasant, but by dissecting the body parts to give even a rough representation here helped me compartmentalize it. 

This first photo shows what the quilt looks like hanging in my hallway finished. Dark block walls and spotlight lighting are dim, and art quilts pop. The quilting shows well, and the colors are deeper. Hanging a quilt out of direct light keeps it from fading, and if you are using delicate fabrics or embellishment it becomes even more important.
