Hi ladies. I found this pattern in a book from my library, It is called Stars and spiderwebs. Carolyn Forster from the UK made the quilt in the book and I thought it would be a great quilt to help use up my scraps. So I made me a quilt top. I need to put a border on it. Hadn't decided what kind or how big to put on it. Thought you would like to see it. I haven't seen a pattern like this before. I liked it so here is my version.

Very nice work! It's going to be really pretty when it's done!

It looks great. You did a wonderful job.

LOVE it.
I am working (read- it is in a drawer and hasn't seen the light of day for a couple months) on one. I need to drag it out and at least work on it.

Very pretty!

Very pretty! I have a vintage one I picked up at an estate sale last spring. That was the first one I had seen. Is it a difficult pattern?

Love both quilts, the new and the old!! :D

As my to do list gets longer....this one may move closer to the top. Good Job. Love your quilt!

Do you remember the name of the book? Or the author? You did a great job - so colorful.

you can find instructions here:

I have one like that also that my grandmother made many many many years ago.. the stars are a violet color and the borders around the "string" blocks (that's what she called them).. are gold.. it was a popular color combo back then.

no it is not hard it is mostly strip piecing. After you cut your squares into 4 triangles you mark your sewing line and then sew 1st piece and then turn it over and strip piece till you get to the end and then after you have done both sides then you trim off the excess. you can also paper piece it.

I don't remember the name of the book by the ladie that made the quilt in the book was Carolyn Forster,UK. It was a quilt book that had lots of quilts and patterns for the quilts, When I go back to the library I will look it up for you.

That is a beautiful quilt It is not hard to make more string piecing. The link the lady gave to do it is almost the same she done hers a little different than the one in the book. But the outcome is the same and I think my blocks are bigger , they came out little over 15".

I can just use the one in the Quiltville link, dolores. Thanks again for the inspiration.

Your quilt is fantastic!

Nice!

Love it, great job

That is really cute. You did a great job on it. I don't know how big to make the border but a scrappy one for sure. Maybe you can make 4 smaller blocks of the web for the corners.
It is truly beautifal. :thumbup: Good luck

Very nice - I haven't seen one with the stars before.

Here's some I made. The first one was leftovers from a queen size quilt. They are so much fun to make.
