I'm trying a new free motion design with each quilt lately, and making these swirls felt really natural to me.

Wonky Kites Quilt
I had a lot of fun making this wonky kites quilt. It's an easy improvised block to make, and the way the kites come together is a surprise each time.
I made this baby quilt to go with my wonky zigzag pillow. They coordinate without exactly matching.
The striped binding is a Hope Valley print, and it inspired my combination of orange and purple. I added pink and gray to the mix, and as you know, the colors have been on my mind ever since. This quilt finished at 36 x 42. You can read more about the process of making it here.

I love this quilt! The quilting is just perfect ... kites need some swirly winds to get them flying.
I love it! The wonky kites mixed with the swirly quilting on the gray background....reminds me of a blustery day!
this is gorgeous! I love that pop of purples in there...
So beautiful! I really like this color combo, and I love the wonky zig zags! And I love the quilt too :) In fact, I am going to make one similar soon; my binding triangle scraps are taking over the world! Anyways, love it!
