Want to add a whimsical touch to your next quilt? You absolutely have to try the Go Fly a Kite quilt block! This fun, spring-inspired pattern from Hey Let’s Make Stuff is a fantastic way to play with fabric gradients. The best part? You’ll learn the Quilt As You Go (QAYG) technique, which means you quilt each layer as you assemble, making the whole process much easier and quicker.
You’ll start with a 13 by 13-inch backing and batting, then add colorful fabric strips to create a dynamic kite design. The finished block measures 12.5 inches square. Since this is more about technique than rigid measurements, you can easily adjust the fabric strip sizes and overall block dimensions. You can even add a cute little bow to complete the kite look! This creative QAYG kite block is perfect for a spring quilt, a cheerful baby blanket, or a decorative wall hanging.
