Let's GO Fly a Kite

The new AccuQuilt dies are being released this week at Spring Market. They sent me a few of them!

20140511-113445.jpgI definitely squealed with glee when I saw the kite die!! It's a shape I love, but hate to rotary cut. It's tedious and hard to cut accurately. This one has the clipped corners that mean no flags once you make the block. Nice!

20140511-113756.jpgI also appreciate that the shapes are situated on the die so that your cut pieces have the grain running the right way. Double nice!!

20140511-114042.jpgSo I picked some fabrics to immediately cut something!

20140511-114151.jpgTwenty minutes later I had this! And about half that time was picking my arrangement! I didn't cut half the background because I think I want to switch to a darker fabric for the outer edge. It's going to be a pillow!
