Instructions<br />
Making the cobweb<br />
The first thing we need to do is make<br />
our cobweb template. You do this by<br />
measuring 4½" across and a center point<br />
5" down, which is 2¼” in the middle. Cut<br />
out of cardboard ¼” up from the bottom<br />
point, cut off the little point.<br />
Using your nice template, cut 4 patterns<br />
out from two different pieces of fabric<br />
each so you have a total of 8 fabric<br />
template pieces.<br />
Alternating the fabric, sew four wedges<br />
together. Press. Laying each ½” circle on<br />
the cutting board, trim off any points<br />
on the flat edge so you get a nice clean<br />
straight line.<br />
Sew the 2 halves together matching the<br />
center point and press.<br />
Trim all the little end points. One cobweb<br />
done! Make 4 more cobwebs using your<br />
different pieces of fabric.<br />
Cut five 11½” squares from the<br />
background fabric.<br />
Cut ½” strips of HeatnBond Feather<br />
Lite Iron-On Adhesive and then subcut<br />
into 3½” strips and apply to the outer<br />
edge of each of the cobwebs following<br />
manufacturer’s instructions.<br />
Center the cobweb on each background<br />
square and press.<br />
Sew using black thread and create fun<br />
cobweb patterns in each of the cobweb<br />
blocks. You can do different quilting<br />
patterns or the same one for each<br />
cobweb. I chose the same linear pattern as<br />
my fabric is quite colorful and busy, so wanted<br />
something simple to offset the cobwebs.<br />
Sew the two halves of the cobweb together.<br />
Apply strips of HeatnBond Iron-On Adhesive to<br />
border of cobweb.<br />
Press the fused cobweb to the center of the<br />
background block.<br />
Using your fancy template, cut out 4 cobweb<br />
shapes from 2 different fabric pieces for a total of 8<br />
cobweb pieces.<br />
Cut along the edge of cobweb to ensure you have<br />
a nice clean line.<br />
Sew a fun pattern to attach the cobweb to your block.<br />
