Me too. It was also the more difficult one. You need your wall board to pin and quilt as you go so the webs all match up.

Material Obsessions and Material Obsessions 2 are my all time favorite books. I have used several of the directions to make wonderful quilts. I have even used the directions to make a second quilt with different fabric. Love Love these books.

I Love your soft blue. The border adds another dimension. I did mine on fabric foundation rather than paper. It makes it kind of heavy, but it is done. Thanks for sharing yours.

Both are awesome. I think I like the wildly colorful one the best--if I had to choose. Saving your pictures for inspiration.

I have made traditional spiderweb quilts and just learnt from Amy at Craftsy how to make the String quilt variety like you have made by a neat foundation piecing method. I LOVE it and your quilts are inspiring me more and more to make more than 1 or 2 blocks.
Thank you very much for sharing!!
