    I do my string quilts on used dryer sheets. No removal of the foundation. This is my favorite quilt to do Love your colors...makes me want to get in those scrap bins again!

    Your fabrics are so very pretty. I love your bolds. Nice job on the piecing.

    I am making a spider web quilt, but it calls for muslin as the foundation.
    I've been quilting since 1969, and I have some old fabric I will never use. That's what I'm using as my foundation. I probably paid $3 a yard for it. It's an ugly beige gingham that I used as background on lots of baby quilts back then. It will stay in the quilt --no removal necessary. I plan to quilt it with my longarm. If I were going to quilt it by hand, I probably would use paper and remove it.

    It's a terrific pattern to use for a group quilt. I'm Block of the Month chairperson for my guild, and this will definitely be one of our blocks next year.

    I made my blocks 9 1/2 inches, to finish at 9 inches. But if we did it as a group project and one block was smaller, we could just trim the others down to be the same size. There really isn't too much we can do to mess this one up! Gotta love that, right? Mindless sewing is really good sometimes. I just love to stitch in JOY!!!

    I think that your blocks are beautiful. I've made several scrappy tops but so far nothing like this. But I think I will...
