    Looks a lot like Bonnie Hunter's Spider web. She did one called a Serpentine. Just a matter of how you place/arrange the blocks. Looks great!!

    i sort of adjusted the periwinkle pattern and, no, I did not remove the sheets. I used school glue to set the yellow kite into the corner on the 6 1/4 square of dryer sheet, and then just sewed 3/4 to 1 1/4 inch strips alternating sides then squared at 6 inches. On the periwinkle quilt, which is pp, the kite is set into the point of the triangle, thus ending up with a spider effect. Hope that makes an understandable explanation

    I guess I'm being a total dolt, but I can't figure out how you did this.....would you consider a basic tutorial? I believe there are enough of us here that would be interested......

    I'm glad the dryer sheets worked for you, great way to recycle and your quilt is beautiful.

    Looks really nice! I've had this type (star) in mind for a while -- just need to do it. Hope it turns out as well as yours did!
