I looked on-line and that is exactly what this block is. Thank you. Now...just need to figure out what to stitch on this block.

It's a string quilt...and pretty, too.

That's what I was thinking as well!

It looks like you sew 7 diff strips of fabrics together then cut triangle out the strip sets . Make several different strips of 7 material then mix them up and sew them together to make a block . My guess . Hope it helps .

That would work. I usually am using scraps, so I sew my strips to a thin muslin backing. I usually start in the center and work out both ways so I'm sewing two strips at a time, then press, and add two more. I press my backing piece diagonally one way, so I have a "starting line" on the base piece. I sew my strips on diagonally.
Have fun experimenting. I don't think you can make a string block "wrong"!

Very pretty.

How about a spiral? I've seen that on squares and it is really interesting.

string quilts are always beautiful, no matter what colors you use.

looks like it was done in the Tube method. strips sewn into tubes and cut. lots of tutorials on this out there. http://www.youtube.com/user/Missouri.../3/vOWSp0mTTqE

I have also heard of it being called a spiderweb block.
