Kite Allover Quilting Pattern

This week I will cover creation of an edge to edge pattern for the Let's Go Fly a Kite quilt.  I thought I would cover this in two videos.  Both show how I use Art and Stitch to create my design.

Video 1 will cover creating the Kite plus tail.
Video 2 will cover use of a template to create an interlocking design and placement of the kites and connecting everything up with a cloud filler design.

The beauty of this pattern is that once you understand the process, it would be a great pattern to freehand on your domestic on non-computerized longarm machine.

If sewing this freehand, stitch the string and tail first.  Then add the top.

In the second video I created an interlocking template and placed the kites.  I also added clouds to fill in the empty space and connect everything up.

Here is my final edge to edge design.

Here is a photo of it super-imposed on my Let's Go Fly a Kite quilt.

This one took a bit of time to draft and I realize that not all of you will want to draft your own rendition.  Therefore, I decided to offer the pattern on my website in all the major quilting system formats.  Since this is a new offering from me, I want to celebrate and will provide a 50% discount off the pattern for the next two weeks.

The digitized pattern will regularly retail for $15.  So it is on sale for $7.50.  Click here to purchase and download. 

For those are still working on piecing the quilt, a reminder that
onstructions for piecing the Kite quilt will be available until August 15th.  Please make sure to print off anything you need by that time.

Happy quilting.
