This is my Tutti Fruiti Spider Star. I was reminded of two things while putting it together:
1. the importance of clipping away the excess seam allowance before adding the next triangle
2. press the way the block and fabrics want to go
i also learned that soft, stretchy fabrics (like my marbled pink background) are not good candidates for this block. i should have starched the heck outof it first.
I'm pretty sure if i take those steps the next time around, my points will all be pointier and it'll end up square instead of whatever you'd call the shape it is now. :shock:
p.s. the green sashes were just to test whether or not i could use it in a real quilt without completely burying the points. that's why only two ... both of which will be removed later.
