Kite Girl Binding

 My kite girl quilt is moving to the binding stage!  This is where things either get exciting or stall depending on how much time I have in the evenings to stitch.

I'm enjoying looking at the kite strings and flower stems as I sew the binding onto the quilt.  This quilt is where I learned how to do a chain stitch.  I used colors at random from my grandma's embroidery floss tin.

This is what the quilt looks like...

 Kite Girl started as part of one of my Rainbow Scrap Challenges (RSC) in 2014 (I think).  The block is made from 2" squares.  The block pattern can be found at Q is for Quilter blog.  I then started to learn to do the chain stitch for the kite strings and stems in May of 2017.  In enjoyed finding things that fit easily into my school bag that made me feel productive vs. doing cross stitch projects where I had to focus on counting and couldn't keep a good eye on students in study hall.  I randomly stitched kite strings with pieces of floss from my grandma's tin.

For some reason the blocks sat idol until I made the last one in orange in 2017.  But idol no more.  :)

This quilt does not have a specific recipient in mind yet.
