Digging them out recently there are sixteen stars; perfect for the toddler quilt I need. Actually I needed it this summer but only have time to start it now.

Several layout tests until I decided to arrange the stars diagonally.
The outmost string on the spiderweb wedges must contrast with the star colors. Some were red, orange or yellow. I moved them to a star with a different value. And lucky me, there were some blue wedges from the previous quilt that didn't look good against blue stars. {I still need to border and quilt that one.}

It's always amazing how much smaller the quilt becomes as the units are sewed.
Coming along well.
Enjoy the day, Ann

I love it! Doing a Spiderweb quilt has been on my wish list for years. Maybe that will be a goal for 2017!
Ann! I'm saving up scraps for this same quilt right now! My background kites will be red.
I keep returning to these photos. I am always so impressed with your use of value, color and print, Ann. Your Spider Web is just luscious.
Looking good! I love your colors, great contrast.
That would be a good goal since it's a great way to use scraps. There are loads of photos on the web and several instructions. Several people told me Bonnie Hunter has good directions. I drafted my own with the kaleidoscope ruler because I wanted to move the web wedges around. I look forward to seeing yours. It will be great with all the leftovers from your gorgeous floral applique.
Yum, Joni! Red is my favorite. I need to use more. I'll come drool on yours.
Thanks, Janie! The parents wanted a bright quilt like hot air balloons.
It's looking wonderful... amazing what a differenc adding in the blue wedges made!
Yes, it is amazing how much smaller it all gets. Looks gorgeous! Love the warm colours for fall. :D
They sure did, Linda. It's very bright and happy.
I hadn't thought about fall. You're right, Monica.
At a glance, almost looks like tie dye! Very pretty!
It is looking gorgeous! Happy Monday ♥

Good eye, Karen. What a charming idea.
Thanks, Summer.
Lovely - it is indeed coming along well.
Thanks, Kaja. This started with leftovers but it's coming along wonderfully.
I really like your use of all the warm reds for the centers of your spiderwebs, especially that great plaid!! They just sparkle!
