Spider-Man Quilt
I was asked to make a Spider-Man quilt for my friend's grandson. I have made him several quilts as he has grown. :) She wanted both Spider-Man and the Green Goblin in it. She also asked for buildings in the background.
I "graffitied" the grandson's name into the bricks.
The Web & Chest:
I used Pigma Micron Black ink to draw the line on the Spider-Man suit. I used monofilament thread over the lines to pop the chest and webs forward. The center spider was embroidered.
Exploding Pumpkins: used both dark gray and variegated red / orange thread. I made all the eyes look toward Spider-Man.
The Background: I originally wanted to do a moon, but I felt that if I did I would have to make the background too dark. I used a variegated red/orange thread and white thread to quilt the rays of the sun. I didn't have the right blue for the background color so I hand dyed the background. I used three shades of blue dye. This was my first attempt at hand dyeing fabric. I felt like a mad scientist while mixing the dyes. Lots of fun!! LOL
The Buildings: I wanted to create depth so the buildings are much larger at the top and the traffic light at the bottom is very small.
The Goblin: I had a hard time doing his face. Just couldn't get it right, but it's fine. I have smoke coming out of all the pumpkins and his flying device. I have no idea what it is called. 
The Borders: I made the red border look like bricks and the outer border filled with webs and spiders! 
I am sure he will love this!!
