More Quilting

Completed my Broken Spider Web block and I am ready to do some more quilting.  As we try to recover from Hurricane Sandy that came thru on 10/29, I have not done much quilting or sewing because there is no power, I find I am reading more during this time either by candle or flash light but as nice as that was, I needed some heat, HGTV, blog plus check email, so I am hanging by a friend who recently got power.

I used concrete 12in x 12in stepping stone pavers and 4in x 8in pavers, I created a pattern and stack them, I did use pieces of slate to level the barrel.
