Piecing these spiderweb/stars is fun and quick. I've used many of those little scraps that are stuffed into that top drawer...the triangles derived while making binding, leftover strips from log cabin blocks and strips of backing trimmed from a quilted quilt. I've done one of every basic color, now I need to do tan and gray, a red-yellow-blue block, a red and aqua block, etc. or should I? Maybe I should just keep the blocks these basic colors, repeating them. What do you think?
I have some time to think about it and get your input because I'm not home at my sewing machine, I'm in AZ., could be at Nancy's sewing machine. However, we are playing which does include traipsing to quilting stores (some in Albuquerque. N.Mex. and in Phoenix). I really shouldn't let you know how many quilting stores I've been to in the last week. I will tell that I haven't purchased at every one of them. I will soon return to my home and sewing machine, but for now we are dreaming and scheming the next few quilting projects.

I love everyone of them. I most likely would now start to repeat the colors. I have to say that I just love the many quilt shops in Phoenix. I think I have visited everyone, when I come to see my parents.
oooh, i love your version of this. i would repeat the colors too. i'm out of town too...it is good to take a break.
I think I like the orange one the best! Althought the green and red ones are pretty awesome too. I also think you should stick to monochromatic blocks, and just repeat. Thanks for coming to visit!
Oh my they are sooo even and wonderful. They are beautiful.
i love the mono-chromatic blocks so much! how fun! enjoy the rest of your trip. sounds like a blast to visit a ton of quilt shops.
Definitely DON'T mix colors. I know because I have seen them in person.
Love your take on the Spiderwebs! Sticking with monochromatic is interesting. Another option would be to mix two complentary colors, like orange and blue....
And thank you for stopping by...
I think your spiderweb blocks are great! (I love the blue one)
