They form part of a mini quilt, 16" x 24 " to be exact. Just the right size for premature baby Humidicrib covers for our local hospital.
The paper plane has been defined by hand stitches using two strands of DMC colour 503 ...
... the flight plan of the paper plane has been hand stitched using 3 strands of DMC colour 898.
The mini quilt was inspired by the main background fabric by Belle and Bo "My Paper Plane", purchased from Spotlight.
I have a similar themed picked out for the little girl's house.
This time she'll be hold a string a heart balloons flying high in the sky.
These hearts are so cute ... I've done two out of three so far.
You can find this FPP pattern for free in Quiet Play's Craftsy store :)
Not sure how I'm going to quilt these two mini quilts? I think some free motion loop-da-loop would look lovely - but sadly that's still beyond my skill level. So perhaps some simple straight lines will do?
I am planning on having these little babies finished next week (but don't hold me to it!) ... They will be donated as part of the 100 Quilts for Kids drive - you can find the details from the Button on my sidebar.
Linking up with all of you busy people at WIP Wednesday kindly hosted by Freshly Pieced.

Those fabrics are so gorgeous! I think your loop the loops are ideal for kites - what a great idea.
ReplyDeleteOoh, that's brilliant! Love the paper pieced kite. You've matched the directional background fabric in really well - i thought it was appliqued until I looked closely!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely quilt, I love your idea for the girl quilt too.
ReplyDeleteI love the flight paths! I also love Kristy's patterns but have not yet tried any paper piecing - one day I will get to it!
ReplyDeleteLove how this turned out! Makes for a really sweet quilt!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristy ... couldn't have done it without your clever patterns :)
DeleteSo gorgeous and cute. I love the quilt. Stopping by from Freshly Pieced Thanks for sharing. Marie (mlismore@optusnet.com.au)
ReplyDeleteI love what you've done with Kristy's blocks! The paper aeroplane fabric is perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove your litle quilts-to-be! That paper aeroplane fabric is gorgeous and the kite is so sweet!
ReplyDeletethis is SO sew cute!!! I love that little paper airplane!

Realy lovely idea and they look great! Very creative and very pretty - they'd make a lovley present as a doll quilt too or with a name embroidered in the heart.
ReplyDeleteBoth are really stinking cute! I'm sure they will be loved and appreciated by some premie families and nurses!
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are so sweet!! I can not resist fabric with clouds on it. A little hand quilting would do with the embroidery but that is probably too time consuming so a few straight lines might be the best solution. I really like how you have taken 2pp patterns and made them 1!!!
ReplyDeleteI think you're right about the hand quilting ... might be time to get my thimble out.
DeleteHow clever! I love the house and the fabric. What a sweet quilt it will be!
ReplyDeleteThe paper airplanes are perfect with the cute little clouds. They were made for each other.
