Looks a lot like Bonnie Hunter's Spider web. She did one called a Serpentine. Just a matter of how you place/arrange the blocks. Looks great!!

I can't really say where the idea came from. I had the kite idea, probably from the periwinkle pattern, but all these strips of scraps, so I just started playing with 2 blocks and liked how they came out. Problem is that I still have a lot of scraps left. Must dream up something else now. Thanks to all for the great comments

Nicely done. I have this quilt on my bucket list.

a lot of fun to make, and the result is outstanding.

i sort of adjusted the periwinkle pattern and, no, I did not remove the sheets. I used school glue to set the yellow kite into the corner on the 6 1/4 square of dryer sheet, and then just sewed 3/4 to 1 1/4 inch strips alternating sides then squared at 6 inches. On the periwinkle quilt, which is pp, the kite is set into the point of the triangle, thus ending up with a spider effect. Hope that makes an understandable explanation

I guess I'm being a total dolt, but I can't figure out how you did this.....would you consider a basic tutorial? I believe there are enough of us here that would be interested......:)

I'm glad the dryer sheets worked for you, great way to recycle and your quilt is beautiful.

Looks really nice! I've had this type (star) in mind for a while -- just need to do it. Hope it turns out as well as yours did!
