That's a great pattern/stash buster. Yes, using the stash like that is a huge pain. I don't. I use Bonnie's OTHER idea and make my spiderweb's and other piece/stash intensive quilts by using them as leaders/enders or place holders while chain sewing a quilt kit or something.
Only problem is... I've been so successful and using the stash buster pieces as leaders/enders... that I now have two quilts all ready to have the blocks sew and sashed/bordered and finished. So that's two sets of queen sized quilt blocks all done at the same time! Yipes. But it went sew fast, I didn't even realize how much I got done, with less frustration!
