When the specs for round 6 was released, I spent my morning in EQ, playing with options for the new round. It just made this quilt far too big. I already have several queen size tops to quilt and finish. So I stayed with my first thought of using Round 6 for my corner blocks to round 5. I love how it finished because my border on round 5 just looked to me like a finishing frame to this quilt.
I used the kite block times 4 for each corner. I used an accuquilt die (thank you very much) to cut these pieces. My biggest problem came where the 4 blocks join together in the center...too many points which needs a hammer to make it flat. Each kite block only finishes at 3 inches making the 4-patch unit finish to 6 inches.
This is not a good photo. DH could not hold up the entire top since it measures something like 72 x 78? I hope to get a better photo this Sunday with help from others to hold it up.

What a lovely quilt--good idea to use the kite blocks in the corners they seem to finish it off so well...a lot of seam crossings make me "cross"!!! hahaha--you did a great job there...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteYour SAHRR is looking so good, Kat! It really has gotten big. Your kite blocks are perfect in the corners!
ReplyDeleteI love your SAHRR quilt and the corners are perfect with these small blocks! I love how you made the squares with insert too, very clever to use three colors. Thank you for sharing and linking up!
