I agree! I am often so far behind in the "current trends" I often wonder by the time I make a style of quilt that was super popular years ago, it will be a current trend again! LOL. For example the "Swoon" quilt was all the rage about 5 or 6 years ago. Everyone was making them, and there were many examples of it at quilt shows as well as here on the QB. It took a while to grow on me or maybe I had to see examples of it that impressed me enough to make one. I have fabrics set aside in my stash for my someday Swoon but I could end up changing my mind down the road. I have made a spiderweb quilt and it was a lot of fun to make. I actually made so many blocks I had enough for three of them! I have completed and gifted two of them but the third, blocks all made and sashing cut, just need to be assembled into a top. Here is a picture of mine which is a bit different than some spiderweb quilts.

I think spiderwebs, like log cabin can be a great scrap buster.
