Kite Tails

Hello! How are you all doing? I am usually home, so this isn't new, but there is the stress of getting groceries for 10 and dealing with all that store craziness. One of my kids is out of work until this season is over.  I'm keeping things sane in my house by staying in my quilting room! Creating is a great outlet for stress relief.

This is Kite Tails, my new quilt pattern. Doesn't it make you feel like spring is here? Well it is for us in the south. My kids have been asking when they can go fly their kite. They may get their wish tomorrow as is it is supposed to be windy and sunny at the same time...finally! We've had so much rain here lately so the sun is a nice change.


Anyway, this cute pattern come in 6 sizes. I made the lap size because I was running short on the accent fabric. This fabric line is Nest by Moda and I'm starting to run low! This pattern is fat quarter friendly, but I would recommend on the smaller sizes using  more than the minimum amount. Scraps would even be good for this quilt if you had some larger pieces.  I think I cut one square of each of my fabrics to make 2 of each kind of half square triangle.


Here is the baby size in one fabric. Wouldn't this make a cute baby boy quilt? All you would have to do is cut all the squares from one fabric.

If you're needing a new pattern to cheer you up in this season of craziness, this one will do it! You can find the pattern in my shop here.

  1. What a pretty quilt! Congrats on getting the pattern written. It is a stressful time, especially grocery shopping! I never thought I'd say it, but I sure would love to go buy groceries!!

  2. Very cute pattern, and I love the name! So not fun to buy groceries for that many people - here they are limiting it to one loaf of bread, one carton of eggs, etc. Maybe they make exceptions if you're all there; I don't know.
