Kite Girl is on the Frame

Kite Girl is being quilted this week using my Circle Lord Baptist Fan giant template board.  I'm using a tan thread that seems to look great with it and the tan backing.

I'm starting to run out of large pieces of fabric for the backs.  Somehow I misplaced my box of panels.  I see a lot of pieced backs in my future.  I'm at the point where the neutrals need to be seriously separated into specific categories... all one color of white/beige, fun neutrals, pastels, and so on.  Maybe the kid will do that for me this week.  LOL.  He does love sorting them when he is in the mood.  My last day is May 29th!  Come on summer vacation!!!!!


 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.  :)
