There were a number of stories in our newspaper a couple of weeks ago about a new by-law banning kite fighting in one of our local parks as the strings were wreacking havoc with the wildlife in the parks and hurting adults and children in addition to being a nightmare for the workers to clean up.  I only saw a kite fight once, but it was a beautiful thing, and remembering it, I was inspired to make this quilt.

Originally, when BSP asked me what the name of the quilt was, I said "Kite Fight". 

"Fight? Fight? That doesn't seem very diva quiltish! Shouldn't it be called something more elegant?" 

This one is going to be a lovely winter quilt: the solid loden green panels are wool, the plaid inserts are upholstery weight wool, and the gold satin is, well, gold satin.  *s*

I'm thinking that this one needs some fairly straight forward quilting - but perhaps a more "accurate" quilting than I am wont to do.  On the other hand, I seem to be getting into a rut of sorts - honeycomb quilting.  Perhaps it's time to move onto something else!
