The spider is a common and harmless garden spider, Argiope aurantia. Each night the spider eats her web, and then builds a new one the next day. This spider spins her web on the "Next Door Neighbor" quilt block, indicative of her life as a neighbor in our gardens. Dew is depicted on the web with beads, as is the spider's abdomen.
