Kaleidoscope String Quilt

It's just been gifted to a charming new baby. Her parents love the bright, cheerful colors of balloon launches. So...
Suhavi's Stars - a spiderweb quilt
I pulled these scrap triangles to make stars. After several arrangements, they looked best on the diagonal.

Then it simply needed leftover strings - loads of them.

Love that you cut the kites for the background first and then added the string wedges. I've done it the other way around without nearly your kind of success!

Great baby quilt! Love the oranges. The baby will spend years finding treasures in those many fabrics.

Wow, I love the way you used multiple fabrics for the kites. Makes it much more interesting than a single solid background. I love spiderweb designs.

Julie, I drafted my own pattern and simply didn't think about adding the strings to the sides of triangles like many others. This does give the ability to move the sipderweb pieces until you like them.
