I love these blocks, especially together. To my surprise, each 15" block is requiring at least 90 minutes to make. It's a slow piecing process for a change. I'm going to let my scraps dictate the size of the quilt, so this may not be complete for quite a while.

I love it. I am cutting my fabric now to send off to a quilting bee I am in... I am requesting spiderweb blocks. I think it is just fate that your post come in my rss feed while I was working on this... it got me excited about this even more. I love how yours look. Awesome work.
What site did you use for inspiration/directions?
Thanks so much! I altered the design a tad, but here's the basic instructions:
http://quiltville.com/spiderweb.shtml. I'm foundation piecing mine instead on the white background.
This looks great! I love the colors. I like your alternation a lot.
So pretty!! But yeah- they take a long time, right?!? I made four blocks - just enough to see a full pretty spider web and I've been at a dead stop since. You have made so much progress and I LOVE your alteration so that there are different sized webs. So so pretty!
Beautiful! I really like the effect with the different sized cobwebs.
i really like the different sized webs. it creates a really nice effect!
That looks fantastic! You're doing a great job.
Wow, it's coming along beautifully! I like your idea of foundation piecing them right onto the white, smart.
So great! Perfect for using up tiny scraps which I have loads of. It looks like there are mirrors sectioning the block. Neat effect.
Oh gosh, I just love it!
Wow! It's looking fabulous! So inspiring. ooxx`jodi

So far, so wonderful.

I just discovered your blog and love it. I added three projects to my to-do list while reading! Thanks!
I was trying to find an email address for you but don't see one anywhere. Can you email me at emilylovesbaskets@msn.com? I am wanting to link to some of your stuff but would like your permission first. Thanks!
i love this. i am making a quilt kids wuilt next, then i am going to tackle a spiderweb one.
yours is so beautiful!
i just love the colors!! i've been a little scared to try this one, but seeing yours makes me want to try!! :)
these look so great! The colors and fabrics are all so wondeful. definately on my to do list!!
It doesn't matter if it takes along time to make.....it is gorgeous and worth the wait. I love all the different colors.
watching the spiderweb quilt grow from scraps is the best part of making the quilt. i LOVE how yours is coming along.
i'm just like alissa...i made 4 and then stopped...they're taunting me from my design wall. they do take a lot of time. what are you using for a foundation...i'd sure like to switch from paper. congrats on the feature too!
I am making one of these too! I am determined to use up a bunch of scraps. Each web is so different and actually it looks quite cool. It is rather slow going, and I sometimes stop and start another smaller project, because I get sick of looking at these scraps!
I really love this, all of your bright fabric scraps make it look so cool. :D I'll have to try this someday.
Really beautiful!
What a fun pattern and the choice of fabric is great! Be sure to show when it is finished!
