I needed something mindless to sew a few weeks ago and these spiderweb blocks did the trick just fine. They are on-going project. I have figured out that I don't really like string piecing, but I do like
this quilt by Bonnie Hunter so I will work away at it.

I was aiming for 16 blocks, but ended up with 16.5. I thought I made the 14 more triangles needed, but apparently in my mindlessness I made 16. So now I am thinking to just bite the bullet and make 14 more triangles for a total of 20 blocks. With borders I'll end up with a twin size quilt. That is in the future though. For now I am just happy to have had an opportunity to sew and to have made progress.
Update: In the Grand Reconfiguring of the upstairs I found the original "kite" pattern and some already cut red kites. I went ahead and prepped everything else I needed for the last 14 triangles. So I am ready for some mindless sewing in the future.
Head on over to
Patchwork Times to see what other folks are working on.
This looks like an awesome stain glass window. i love it!
ReplyDeleteMindless sewing is a great stress reducer.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of string piecing or foundation work either, but boy those spiderwebs look great. Glad you helped yourself along by finding the additional sections.
