    Great job. I love your spiderwebs. They could be in my livingroom anytime.

    Great blocks! I've had a Spiderweb on my list of things to do for a long time. I love the look, and I think it actually looks better to not match seams! To me it should have a fractured look.

    I just finished a spider quilt and I found it easier to piece two sets of 3 sections and trim the straight edges to complete the block and the centers will lay flat. Your off to a good start, suggest you photo on a solid back ground so it can be seen better. Love to see a new pic when your done.

    I make a lot of foundation pieced blocks, using clean old sheets as a foundation.
    I have known of a time when ladies used the newspaper as a foundation (check out Wyoming about a hundred years ago).
    They have even found some of those quilts with the newspaper still inside! or is it the blocks they found with the newspaper still attached ... either way,
    TIP: If you choose to use newspaper as your foundation, use seasoned newspaper (a paper that has been in circulation at least two weeks).
    one of my friends prepares her strips for these spiderweb blocks by separating out her strips of scraps and cutting them in predetermined widths. Then, creating her own "jelly rolls" by sewing the strippy scraps end to end (same sizes together) ...
    in this manner, she can create "kits" ahead of a day we are working a marathon ...

    The spider web is on my "to do" list. I have one block made - to see how it looked. I used black where you used white. I also plan to put some red in each block. Can't wait to get back to it.

    Show us a finished pic later.
