Patchwork Kites Quilt Pattern by Fig Tree
I feel like flying a kite in the summer is one of those iconic activities of childhood. Somehow as adults most of us grow out of that activity and I thought it would be only right to re-introduce it via fabric!
I think using a couple charm packs makes the process of our kite building so much faster and more entertaining and I sure hope you come fly a quilted kite with me this summer!
This project assumes the use of 2 CHARM PACKS of the ROSIE collection by Fig Tree for MODA. You can of course use other CHARM PACKS or choose yardage instead. You can also use 2 different CHARM PACKS if you prefer.
