I didn't get a lot done with strings, but here is my report for June on my Spider Web quilt top. The first picture shows some from last month with the darker tan. I ran out of that, so now I'm using a lighter beige color (which I will also run out of soon). I'm following Bonnie Hunter's instructions here for making the blocks and I'm using pages from an old Medicare book for the papers.
After the beige "kite" is stuck onto the triangle with a tiny bit of glue, I start sewing strips to each side. The following picture shows the back of the triangle with the random strips sticking out around the sides.
Here's what it looks like from the front before trimming.
And here's what it looks like after trimming! A lot better, huh?
Here are my finished triangles for this month. Not very many.

Well, actually, I had already sewn a few together and put them next to the "quilt top." You can tell which ones are from this month by the lighter color.
Now that I have run out of the two solid tan & beige fabrics, I have some light colored brown that I might use. I'm trying to use up fabric, right? So I don't want to buy more of the solid. I'll check (dig around in) my sewing closet to see if I can find any more brownish/tanish solids that would look good with it.
Happy July!!
