Yesterday I took a break from the pineapple blocks and started something new. These kite blocks are made using the 12" cube from Accuquilt. Each kite makes a six inch block and when you put four together it makes a twelve inch block. This makes a fast quilt.
The die has the dog ears cut off which makes for very accurate sewing.
After picking the background of navy(which photographed as black) with multi colored dots I chose the kite colors. Shape 14 and 15 from the Companion Angles twelve inch cube make up these blocks.

ReplyDeleteThose blocks are so cute. Love your navy multi-color!
ReplyDeleteThose are fun blocks, especially with that dark dotted background. The colors are so pretty too!
ReplyDeleteI've got the accuquilt die for that pattern and it is one I've used more than once. Do you bring a bit of fabric with you when you travel for the winter or buy as you get there
ReplyDeleteLooks colorful and fun, Vicki!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty start, Vicki! I love the background fabric. How would you cut those if you didn't have an Accuquilt?
ReplyDeleteGreat start on the kite blocks, Vicki. Such fun fabrics you are working with too. It was a blustery day here yesterday- it would have been a good day to fly a kite. LOL. Have a great weekend. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific start, Vicki! I love your background fabric choice. --TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteThe kite blocks look like fun. They will make a nice quilt.
ReplyDeleteThat is going to be a fun one. it looks pretty complicated - glad the die makes it easy to fit the pieces
ReplyDeleteThose blocks make me think of the pyrotechnic displays you get to see each year. Fun!
ReplyDeleteLove polka dots! Especially the background one. Make sure to come back and link up your finish with Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday.
