Kite Flight Finished!

14 Jan

I thought it was about time I started catching up on my finished projects. “Kite Flight” is currently cheering up my family room.

I used a Kona Classic’s roll-up and mixed in several text prints by Suzuko Koseki, Collage by Carrie Bloomston and Architextures by Carolyn Friedlander.

I did straight line quilting 1/2″ apart on my Juki. I found it easiest to quilt lines 2″ apart, and then quilt between those lines. ย The entire quilt is bias, so I think if I had quilted diagonally, I would have had less crinkling. Crinkle is good though, right?!

Kite Flight Quilt

It measures 70″x 84″, perfect for cuddling under.

    Now that is a quilt! The rainbow colours are so exhilarating and the crinkliness is so inviting!

    Crinkle is great as is the quilt! The little bits of text and prints just look wonderful with all the colors.

    Great quilt. I love the way you used the colors in the design, and, the quilting sets it off.

    This quilt turned out beautiful! Cuddle quilts should be crinkly quilts.

    I saw this pattern on Craftsy and love it but with 3 children, all CU Boulder students, I’ve been looking for the right pattern for various black and gold prints. How could I work that into this pattern?
    Thanks so much for your time!

    I love straight line quilting and use a Juki too. Can I ask how you started initially with 2″ spacing? There doesn’t seem to be a way to use a guide bar with the Juki walking foot, unless I have entirely missed the boat on this one!

    Really like the colors. Pattern calls for skinny strips. Can I use a 2.5 jelly roll and get the same result. New quilter here.
