First kite done: BLC Goshen!

A bit of a struggle with this unusual shape, but it is done. I would suggest cutting the outside pieces a bit bigger/wider. My first kite! Yay! I will be doing all kites in green.

70 pieces the DJ software program says. By my count, 74 pieces.

105 blocks, 31 triangles, 1 kite, and 3223 pieces for this Jane Stickle project

No hand applique for awhile

Though I really would like to do some Dear Jane applique, especially of some simpler blocks in my 3 inch size. I also have a binding on a quilt that I need to sew down. However, my hands are in dreadful shape. With the winter temperatures and low humidity, my skin is dried out, and yes, chapped and cracked. I stopped an applique block 2 weeks ago when I noticed a touch of blood on the thread (luckily not on the fabric yet). So have done a bit of machine piecing (see previous post).
It turns out that Goshen is the triangle of the week this week! I must get the rest of the pieces ready and finish my first kite.

Change can inspire

Sometimes taking a break can refresh and inspire. Then again, the old project can be shoved into a bag and become a WIP (work in progress) - implying it's not been worked on lately. My break with the 3 inch mini blocks has been exciting - and it's got me thinking of my other Jane Stickle quilts.
So... we have here the center of my very first kite (Goshen - still needs some bits added) and Chase a myth for my pink and white Jane quilt. My skills are better and I am moving faster on my paper piecing!
