Scrappy Kites - The Quilt



Scrappy Kites

(this is the last of my 2014-2015 RSC quilt projects)

Free motion quilting by Chris Ballard

(you can read the flimsy reveal post HERE)





I am in love with the texture of these all over free motion swirls . . .





I am also in awe, yet again, of the power of our scraps . . .

This quilt was pieced using die cut 
leftover 2014 and 2015 RSC strata and made-fabrics
and a mixture of scrappy black-white prints 
from the resource boxes.
(pieces 1/3 yard or less but larger than a charm square)

Only the borders/back were cut from yardage in the stash.





Maybe next week I'll have some new RSC scrappiness to share,
but for now I am too busy enjoying this newly-finished quilt.

On Saturday, I'll be linking up with The Rainbow Scrap Challenge
where the newly-announced color for February is brown.

On Sunday, I'll also be linking this post with

Scrappy but controlled. The black and white prints help with the control. I just love this!

A beauty!! The quilting design really suits the kite pattern.

I love it! I got a kite ruler for Christmas - you're making me want to run down right now and use it. (It's midnight - I should be going to bed, not starting a mad new quilt project... How sensible should I be?)

It's so cool that something can look scrappy but also deliberate and controlled and balanced all at the same time. You are so good at getting that balance spot on.

LOVE your Scrappy Kites. It's a wonderful balance of color and b/w. The swirls are definitely right for it, like swirling wind. Congrats. Also, the barn wall hanging from your friend was so thoughtful. A very special one for you.

I always love your combination of color and b/w in quilts.
