72 kite pieces, that is!
I have finished my first "Heirloom 2012 Quilt" block!
It is based on the hand pieced "Jazz Hands" block
in Material Obsessions 2.
The finished block is 12 inches across.

| It looks a little wonky because there are paper pieces still in the outside edge! |
I spent many travelling hours getting this one to the finish line,
but that's okay - it's not a race, is it?
I love the accuracy of English Paper Piecing...
and the portability too!
I have learnt a bit about the design process while constructing this block too.
I probably wouldn't put the pink floral in the outside position- I think this
point requires something stronger.
So with that knowledge under my belt, its on to No. 2!
Happy sewing!
