It's time for a day of kite flying!

 Begin with your kite, of course. I'm sure no-one else in the park will have a kite quite like this one.

Put on a spring vest to stay warm in the kite-flying winds.

And pack a picnic lunch to eat on your kite-inspired picnic quilt! "Let's go fly a kite, Up to the highest height..." (I'm sure I'm not the only one who's been singing that song all week!)

Total fabric used: 10 yards

I had a little trouble with this weeks theme. It was a great theme I just could not come up with any ideas. Then one night I jumped into the shower and it came to me. Our shower curtain is terrible. So the Let's Go Fly A Kite bathroom was born. First the shower curtain:

I have an enourmous amount of window curtain lining that worked great for this.

I also had a little of this red and aqua fabric left but I did actually end up purchasing more cause I love the ruffles.

I think the kites are soo cute.

I also added some quick ruffles to some towels. My whole bathroom is getting a makeover thanks to this project and I could not be happier!


My total fabric used was 4 yards.
