The Triangle Spiderweb Quilt

I started this quilt in 1990.  I finished it today, June 26, 2012.

I took a class to learn to make this quilt. It was made by sewing 4 long strips of fabric together, then using a plastic triangle to cut out wedges.  The wedges were then sewn together, creating the pinwheel effect in the center of each block.  Sewing the blocks together resulted in the green squares with white borders.  I got tired of making triangles and sewed the 4 strip pieces together as the border. I used a sheet to make the back and machine-quilted the "spiderwebs" and the borders. 

It took five hours to finish the quilt.
