Line up your chosen fabrics in a pleasing manner
Sew strips together and press seams (one direction or apart, however you like)
Take triangle template and cut out.
Sew two triangles to your kite shape,
Press seams
Sew two triangles together and press
Sew two traingles to another two triangles....
and voila a cheats way to make a spiderweb block.
I got bored doing it the other way!
I think that's a fantastically clever way to make those blocks. I would have been bored just contemplating making them the harder way, so maybe now I'll make some...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tutorial, that looks lots easier!
ReplyDeleteThere's a harder way? What you are doing just makes so much sense. Love those blocks, by the way.
