I posted last week that I was starting a new string project. Click here for that post. That first post contains the information about the tutorial I am using in case you are curious.
The first step was to make a bunch of these.
Then trim them up.
Then figure out unit placement.
Then sew them together. As I suspected, pressing the diagonal seams open does help reduce bulk since I am not trimming away the white base triangle. Double prong pins help to line up the center with the seams pressed open.
I now have two of my twelve blocks completed.
You can see the spider web starting to form at the corners where the blocks meet.

Looking good. What a great way to use those scraps. I must try that.
I do like the spiderweb idea of your quilt and the result is lovely. BUT now I see your way of making it, it seems such a waist of fabric... to me. I was puzzling how to avoid that. Maybe you can make a stripe of stripes and cut the triangle out of it: one normal, the next upside down, then one normal again. Then you can sew them on the bigger solid triangles or even on the/a diamond. Huisvlijtigliesje.blogspot.com
I love looking at these but I'm not sure I ever want to make one! They're something I think I prefer to admire from afar. But admire yours I do! Very nice.
Thanks so much for showing this...I just love it....
