How to Make a Spiderweb Quilt Block:
Step 1
Cut the fabrics to size as instructed in the pattern, then cut the 12-inch squares diagonally in both directions to make 4 triangles.
Step 2
Find the center of your triangle, then mark ¼ inch away on each side, and measure 6 inches from the end of both sides of the triangle marking those as well.
Step 3
Connect the marks with a line, then measure ¼ inch away from the line, and do the same process with the remaining triangles.
Step 4
Work on your first triangle, place a strip of fabric on top with their right sides facing, then line up the edge to the line you drew, and stitch it down with ¼ inch seam allowance.
Step 5
Flip the fabric open and finger press the seams, then place the next strip on top with their right sides facing, and make sure to tuck the triangle away as you stitch the strip.
Step 6
Keep adding more strips until the whole triangle is covered, then press the seams in one direction as you go, and do the same steps to the other side of the triangle.
Step 7
Trim off the excess fabric, then repeat the same process with the rest of the triangles, and stitch them together.
