Dear Jane - kites by ingrid01

Dear Jane - kites

These kites are the corners for the border of my Dear Jane quilt. Can you believe that together they consist of 140 pieces? The bottom left kite has the most - 66!
I'm not totally happy with the top left one, but it is what it is. I want to finish this thing. The only thing left is to connect the 108 triangles and 4 kites to the quilt.... My guess is that it will take me another 2 weeks...
I think it looks amazing. So much work, you will be thrilled with the finished product. Can't wait to see it

It has been quite an amazing project. It will feel so good to finish it. I think a โ€œregularโ€ quilt with the same pattern repeated throughout would be boring to you after this one. ๐Ÿ˜Š The corners are lovely!

This is such an accomplished piece of work. Is it the block of colour that you are not happy with in top left. Would it feel different if you removed the centre piece?

Wow, a labour of love ๐Ÿ˜

@wakelys You found the spot! But I do not really have a problem with the "chunkiness", what bothers me is that they are not even. So taking the middle one out would not really make a difference for that.
In 1863 Jane A Stickle finished an incredible quilt with 225 different blocks. Later people started to copy it and called it a "Dear Jane" quilt. I am trying to make my blocks look like Jane's, so I do not really want to change the design.
