Summer Sampler 2019 :: Summer Kites

Half-rectangle triangles have always been a bit of an enigma for me. I mean I've done them, but trimming has always held some uncertainty. Things became alot clearer thanks to Katie/swim bike quilt's Summer Sampler block, Summer Kites.



AFTER finishing the block, taking photos, and putting the block up on the design wall to admire.... I realized I had inadvertently flipped the smaller kite strips so the center background 'star' design didn't come through. There's a slim chance I may 'fix' it, but chances are I won't, but rather consider it an unintentional design decision. Besides, just one more block to go!
