Hi Guys,
I'm not sure who it was that posted a link to this block but I want
to thank that person. I would also like to strangle her now that I have
removed the paper from several of the blocks LOLOL. I think the pattern
is it at http://www.quilters cache.com ) but I'm not sure. Anyway, it's
a very easy PP block and is making up quite nicely!
This quilt will be for my DSis to give her best friend (Carla) as an
anniversary gift. Carla loves horses (she has a large piece of property
in Austin and has several horses) so I got some horse fabric to use.
Best part is that most of the fabric is from my stash since the spider
webs are supposed to be scrappy. The pattern calls for the "background"
fabric to be white but I don't have enough in my stash and white shows
the dirt too easily. I'm using tone on tone cream fabrics and putting
the blocks together so that the four pieces that make up a piece of the
background are all the same cream fabric.
This is going to be a lap quilt but Carla is a big woman -- very tall
and a bit on the heavy side. I'm going to make the spider web part
about 42" x 60" and then add at least one border. The picture with the
block pattern has a border of 6" x ? rectangular pieces and I like the
looks of it so will probably go with that.
By the time I am finished, I will be very tired of paper piecing AND
removing the paper :-). I thought about getting either the very thin
easy tear stuff or the stuff that dissolves in water. Then I realized
how much $$ that would cost and am going with the standard el cheapo
white paper and using a very small stitch length! Once I am finished, I

will be sure to add some photos to Webshots. CiaoMeow >^;;^<

If you score the paper, along each seam, with the back of a stitch
ripper (along a ruler edge); and then pull gently on the bias, the paper
will almost fall off, cleanly and quickly.

Well, so far I only have a hand full of blocks. When I get a few
more, I will lay them out and take a photo. It's so rewarding to put

the blocks together and actually see the pattern appear. CiaoMeow >^;;^<
