The Missouri Star Quilt company has a plexiglass template for the "kite" piece, makes it faster. Just finished piecing a Spiderweb quilt top. I use mail order catalog pages for my foundation, they tear off easily and I'm recycling the catalogs. I cut a 10" square of the catalog page and then cut it in 1/2 diagonally. I tape the kite piece fabric in the center of the triangle, then piece lots of different size strips. I've included some pictures of my quilt top, it just needs borders. I pieced all of the blocks on a Singer 301 and 2 of my treadles:
a 1914 Singer 115 and 1917 White Rotary.
