These are the fabrics I will be using to spin my web this year!
Spider Web Quilt Fabric Requirements
80 2.5 inch squares (two mini-charm packs, a charm pack, strips, FQs or
yardage ... or just use up scraps!)
1/2 - 2/3 yard of black (for web sashing and border and binding)
2 inch black circle for the center applique
30" square of backing fabric and batting
Fabric Selection Suggestions:
For your fabric squares, use a mix of lights to darks, small to medium prints. I used three to four mini charms of each fabric but you could cut from 5-6 fat quarters or 2.5" strips if you wanted a less scrappy quilt. Two mini charm packs or one charm pack would yield enough 2.5" squares for the top.
Last year I used very small scale prints ...
Tools
a 45 degree ruler (such as a Kaleido Ruler)
(if you do not have one, you could try using a straight ruler
and the 45 degree lines on your cutting mat)
(if you do not have one, you could try using a small
plate or other circle cutter)
I will be adding a few more "getting ready" posts in the coming months.

who cut and mailed.
Thank you, ladies!
A big Thank You to our Blog hop sponsor,
for these beautiful
fabrics!
I also bought a panel and some yardage from
which is a good online shop.
Good prices, good people, good service.
I do not think the owl print will be making it into this project,
but I loved the print so much it will be stashed for another project.
I will have extra fabric from the half yards, too, I think.
Maybe for this free project from

I would love to be a part of this. I'll think of it some days, and look at all other things I have to finish. Always tempted to do new things. I'll be back soon.
