Kite Layout Reveal

7/11/2015

 
On Point Quilter Kite Pattern
Let's Go Fly a Quilt - Pieced by Kari Schell
I know that many of you have been working diligently on the kite blocks.  It will make a great baby or kids quilt.  I even heard of someone who will be adding more blocks for a larger version.

Here is what the center of my quilt looks like.
The video tutorial this week provides instructions on creating this layout using Electric Quilt.  Lots of tips are in this one, including:
  • Using a strip set layout
  • Adjusting your layout size when you mess up the math  (I didn't mean for this to be in the video, but I haven't been getting enough sleep recently which caused a problem on my end.  So thought you might like to see how I corrected my own issue.)
  • Adding blocks to layer 2
  • Calculating and adding setting rectangle blocks
Next week we will be adding a pieced border.

Featured Quilt Pattern - Christmas Presents

I was at a quilt shop yesterday and realized that they were hanging a Christmas quilt for "Christmas in July".  It is never to early to get started for Christmas -- particularly since all the new Christmas fabrics are arriving in the shops.

This particular quilt is a great one to makes use of some of those theme fabrics.  Theme fabric makes great wrapping paper. 

Three different sizes are included: 
  • Table Topper (16″ x 16″)
  • Vertical Wall (14″ x 32″) 
  • Horizontal Wall (30″ x 14″)

Thanks for the tutorial on the Kite Layout. Your presentation was so easy to follow and contained to many tips.
I wanted design something similar. After many hours of trying I eventually used a custom layout and it took ages to do, sizing and placing each individual block. I did succeed in the end but wish I had seen your tutorial before attempting the quilt.
