So I'm restricting myself - one a day. No more.
This is the weekend's rations. A slow start, but it won't be long before I can have sweet dreams underneath a layer of scrappy spiderwebs.
See how beautiful they'll look when joined together (thanks to big huge labs and their mosaic maker). Maybe I'll make an inroad into my ever breeding stash of scraps. Now that would be a bonus.
EDIT - completely forgot to link to the tutorial I'm using. It's on Marit's blog and uses no paper foundation (which makes me a very happy bunny).
This next picture is for Aneela. I made my first cut. Give me a pat on the back. It was tough, but I did it.

Those spider web blocks are gorgeous, I can see why you've become addicted! I'll have to see if I can find a tutorial or pattern somewhere online.
I should have said - the blocks are made using the tutorial on www.quilt-it.blogspot.com
I'll put a link on my blog....
I can see why one would be obsessed! LURV your blocks, Katy! OK, I've got to run away from your post before I catch this disease...
This is a wonderful scrap busting project. And I love the polka dot centers.
I love the spider web blocks - they look great with the mosaic maker. I will have to check out the tutorial.
Those are so beautiful. Great work. x
Love your blocks! Great choice of center (star ) fabric. I need to get back to making more of these!!
; )
I love it! I have been bitten by the spiderweb block as well after I saw it in Sew Hip. I am going to go check out the tutorial you shared. I want a whole quilt!
I love the shapes, it's going to be gorgeous!
:)
awesomely beautiful! They have such a wonderful vintagey look to them - as if you found them under the table in a box at a jumble sale deep in the country - mmmmm .... It must be the minty green. I've never tried one, but I think I might have to - it's just .... I'm a weak woman and I'm scared I'll catch your disease!
This is going to be such a GREAT quilt when it's done. Love everything about it.
I have never tried the spiderweb...always a teenie bit frightened of the paper piecing...thanks for the tutorial link, I may need to give these guys a whirl...yours look fab!
Wonderful Spider-Web blocks! Love how the final quilt will look.

Love the spidey's ..... it's going to be splendid quilt!
Especially love the polka dot centres.
OH I'm so completely busy and YOU are making me want to make spidey's with polka centres and no foundationing.
Are you managing to stick to your one a day rations???
Love the pic that is specially for me, thank you so much for that!!!! I can sleep easy now;)
I love spider web quilts. There is a paper-pieced pattern also on quiltville.com. I have one partially cut out from a Mary Engelbreit jelly roll - must get it out and make a little progress. :)
I lurve your spotty centres, I am never brave about things like that.
Ooooooh! I've saved that tutorial too and have cut out my first triangles - but I wasn't as clever as you and didn't think about using a spotty fabric for the middle - brilliant idea!

So pretty!!! love the pattern love the fabrics!
Ooh they're lovely, Katy! I can fully understand your obsession...then again, I can understand any crafty obsession!
These may be just what I'm looking for, for the quilt that is brewing in the back of my mind.
