Emily with The Darling Dogwood gave us our final border prompt assignment. She chose the Kite block. I drafted two different Kite blocks in EQ8 and then got to sewing! I made 8 larger 4″ fussy cut kite blocks using my Joel Dewberry Owls fabric and then 24 smaller kites that used Kona Pickle as the kite, Kona Cyan to define the kites, and my background fabric, Kona Zucchini, to frame the 2″ kites. The quilt top is now 65″ square including the outside Zucchini border. There are four more Owl corner blocks in my final pieced border, but left and right borders are hanging off the bed and don’t show in the photo below.
As a reminder, I saved my four Triangle log cabin blocks from SAHRR 2025: Round 5 to include in this final pieced border. Today I will sew together two large pieces of a Kate Spain Northwoods fabric for the back of the quilt, and I hope to get it sent off to Cara at Sew Colorado Quilting later on today. I’ve corresponded with her, and she’s going to try to get it quilted and returned to me in time for the quilt parade on March 24th.
Linking up to The Darling Dogwood: SAHRR 2025 Round 6.
Quilting is in my Blood 
This is just wonderful. All the rounds play nicely together.

Mary you have made such a beautiful quilt! I like how you used the different sizes of kites. Everything nicely frames that pretty center block, and it sure made a nice sized quilt!
