Go Kite Go Project

Go fly a kite....
up to the highest height....
 and if you can't;
then let's make a kite quilt!!


This is my fifth, and final project for this year, in using strings. Actually, you can use narrow strips to make the kite appliques; however, I have chosen to use selvages, instead.

And, why not use those selvage edges without the printed edges, as well. If you are using strings, then you can use dark colors where I've used non-printed selvages; and light colors where I have used printed selvages.



GO KITE GO! QUILT

For a different background; I've used the rail fence block in an extra large size; added a single border that is embellished with prairie points, and finished them with echo stitching.

Make this fun project using selvages and prairie points to brighten up your life!! Let your imagination take hold to reminisce about those warm summer evening that were perfect for flying kites. Oh, don't we miss those days, already; even if winter has just begun!
