Welcome....
if you're here for the
red, white and blue blog hop!
My spider web block is 10.5" unfinished.
Followed these directions.
Okay, why didn't you tell me these were so
easy and cool to make?
Why?
At a retreat a few years ago, they were all making spider web blocks.
I loved the quilts, but it looked involved.
They had paper bag templates and were 'ironing' with these little roller tools,
and I remember my brain fuzzing over.
But 3 years later, the idea of making
ONE block was right up my alley.
One block
became 4.
I'm loving these reds.
Most of the prints are out of
our Candy Apple charm pack.
I thoroughly enjoyed this block challenge.
