Last month, I was the Queen Bee in the Modern Irish Bee. This is a scrappy Bee and we use our own stash to make the blocks which I am really enjoying. I decided on a Spiderweb block as I've wanted a spiderweb quilt for the longest time. I asked for bright, bold strips of fabric against a grey, low volume central star, and I also asked that the strips forming the star all from one colour group on each block, to highlight the secondary pattern of stars. Like this:
I used Heather's tutorial which is really easy and fun to make. In the last 10 days, my blocks have started to trickle in (we are a very relaxed Bee which I love!) and I was not disappointed!
I tried to spend the afternoon playing with the layout, I have about half the blocks at this stage. But I was thwarted by a small lady who wanted to
Can't blame her. They look scrummy so far, no matter what way I lay them out. I have a feeling this one will be sewn up as soon as the rest of the blocks arrive.

It looks great! It's like 2 quilts in 1. Trust your helper with the layout... It looks like she knows what she's doing!
Gorgeous! I want to eat them too :-)

this is so great, amazing isn`t it how so many can make the blocks without anyone knowing what fabric is used and it all goes so well together
Look at your gorgeous girl amongst your beautiful blocks!!
Fabulous block choice!
Love it - love the grey/text centres, really good choice for this!
I love these blocks, and I have joining a bee on my bucket list...too fun!
They look great! I really love how using all one colour around the star really makes it stand out. It will be a beautiful quilt when you get it finished.
