Long time readers know that my dear friend Sharon comes almost every week to sew here for the day. We get a lot accomplished when we have these days, but I all too often fail to share her finishes.
In an effort to do better, I recently snapped this photo of fabrics draped over Sharon's table across the room. Those strips - 2", I think - of dotted fabrics are headed toward a really fun quilt. Both of us have a love for Kaffe Fassett fabrics, and since May Sharon has been playing with a quilt that she says is is long-term project.
Let it be known that she is playing, not working.
The inspiration quilt is from one of KF's books, Quilts in America.
When a quilter will end up with a finish that is this FUN, then of course the making must be play. She says that at home she keeps a bowl of these fabrics on her dining table, and whenever she has a spare moment, she will just stop and make a block. Impromptu sewing like this usually results in faster finishes than one realizes. Kites is just as lively, bright, and playful as can be.
Here are some of Sharon's finished blocks. These are just a few; she has a goodly sum stacking up.
I will keep you updated periodically on Sharon's version of Kites. Seeing it all come together will be fun to follow.
Remember, the word of the day is FUN! Hope you are having some!
Happy Quilting, Friends!
Love Sharon's fabrics! Just curious, are the alternate blocks going to be white or is she going to use another color? Happy stitching!
