Ten blocks are finished now!
I'm also keeping up with the leftovers, they're pieced together in 12.5" lengths.
I intended that these might border the Kite Tails in some way, but now I am leaning toward a quilt all their own.
Next, I pulled from my vintage stash to use this little squirrel as the focus for this month's Courthouse Baby block:

Those Kite Tails blocks are pretty amazing. Looking forward to seeing all of those worked into a final project.
ReplyDeleteLooking at all of your projects makes me anxious to get to the end of the year to see how they all turn out!
ReplyDeleteThe kite tails have such a modern look to them. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteLIKE your Kite Tails blocks AND their leftovers. VERY nice indeed!
ReplyDeleteLove the Kite Tails too. The leftovers would certain make an interesting quilt on their own, but I think bordering the main quilt with them would be fantastic too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely bunch of blocks... and leftovers to boot!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Those kite tails are delightful.
ReplyDeleteThe Kite Tails blocks look so neat swirled together like that! I love what you are doing with the leftover scraps too Heidi. Leave it to you to find another sweet vintage fabric for your courthouse steps!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting such a great stop in the Crafted Applique' Blog Hop! It was so much fun to see your post! I was really tickled that your winner Louise had already ordered the book, so of course sent her a refund. Can you imagine living aboard and boat and making wonderful quilts? What an adventurer!
You have a great collection of blocks starting to grow. I sometimes forget how good simple blocks like courthouse steps can look. Love yours.
ReplyDeleteLove all your greenery! The kite tail blocks look so cool spread out that way. The little squirrel is so cute in the middle of your block. I love Louise's boat photo. That's something I haven't tried yet. =)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for hosting the book giveaway! I was so tickled to win it. And just as she promised, since I had already purchased the book, Lara refunded my money. I'm really looking forward to trying her non-fraying applique method.
ReplyDeleteLove the spread of kite tail blocks! That's going to be a fabulous quilt someday.
ReplyDeleteYour Kite Tail blocks look incredible, Heidi! Love the photo of it. The leftovers would make a great quilt on their own, I think. The squirrel is adorable in your courthouse block.
