My ever optimistic son said it will make a great "white elephant" for family reunion. So that was what I was going to do until the next morning I woke up with the same idea as you. So, I am on the road again. I now have corrected the boo-boo and have even more triangles completed. Between this spiderweb and the basket weave I completed, I've got to get some more strings going....Thanks for being so real to all of us.Linda Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07122891810258048005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-71963726726434783512014-07-12T09:13:15.376-04:002014-07-12T09:13:15.376-04:00Did that keep you awake untiol you thought of what...Did that keep you awake untiol you thought of what to do?

This pattern is what Jenny Doan of MSQC calls spider web - I am in the process of making one for Halloween using fall colors. Your colors are bright and fun...as usuall. Love your blog, love your leader and ended book. A gal in a quilt class told me about it when I asked what she was doing! Thank you - like I said, you are a smart gal.GabiPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09737410936416176932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-37837200713865932772014-07-11T23:02:13.164-04:002014-07-11T23:02:13.164-04:00Good news for you is that it wasn't 'garba...Good news for you is that it wasn't 'garbage day' at your house!!

We just can't do that really!!! There is always a Plan B. I would probably have done the same thing and in about the same time frame. I may not come up with it immediately, because I am mostly irritated that I did something dumb. But a little later, I go digging in the trash and move on and MY fabric doesn't get thrown away! I think we are all basket cases!!!!Sheri in Iowahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05512533160995615748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-6106641695509640972014-07-11T13:23:17.504-04:002014-07-11T13:23:17.504-04:00I knew you would come up with a way to use those m...I knew you would come up with a way to use those messed up parts! I have spider web on my to do list (I made a baby one about 12 years ago and it is what got me to your site and addicted to quiltin!) and I am excited to see how yours looks with the different colors. LOVE your cheddary sow-a-long too. I have something like that in mind for the future too--you just have too many awesome quilty ideas!Andeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650632212794638703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-49838899364901762712014-07-11T12:51:07.812-04:002014-07-11T12:51:07.812-04:00Love your new addition on the porch - I would have...Love your new addition on the porch - I would have never thought of fans!!??!! Guess living where the wind never stops, fans are not needed outside - but love your solution - they look good up there on the ceiling!!! AND that would create a perfect place to sew outside, which I LOVE to do!!!! And your new blks - they look good. I am not a big fan of strings (I am working a couple projects with them and ..... well, they are an interesting thing to create!!!!) so I understand the throw them out, feelings - and yet, I also understand the "hey!??! would this work????" vibe! :) I am having this thought process to as I ended up cutting some jelly roll strips the size the pattern called for but, it is on the small size as far as I am concerned (so, the rest are cut to 'my' size...) now what to do with the smaller ones..... I will figure it out, they will be used, even if in the backing!!!! <br /><br />This hobby of ours is not only a fun process - it does require a sense of adventure and willingness to explore different paths to get to the goal of being able to call something "DONE!!!!"<br /><br />Love to read what you are up to and thanks for the gifts you give everyday by sharing your adventures and including us on the journey. Have a fantastic weekend and Bonnie, go have a cup of tea on your porch and take a moment to just breath in that mountain air. ahhhhhh. Life if good!!!!

All I see is plain yellow and pink stars, the strings get lost. I think if I made this I would use white or snow for the kite shape and let the colored scraps sing.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953507187157403050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-24175960363709133842014-07-11T11:36:20.601-04:002014-07-11T11:36:20.601-04:00Glad you rescued those ends.

You know, that stone you found in the woods is used as a headstone for a dog's grave. Maybe someone had a dog that spent time roaming the woods with its owner... At any rate, love that cheddar sampler!
