riffclown 2,297 Report post Posted July 11, 2018 Latest Icarex buy included a lot of random color scraps Much smaller pieces this time. I Started laying out another new kite today.. This one is truly eclectic.. Colors without rhyme or reason and all over the place spectrum wise.. Introducing Crazy Quilt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riffclown 2,297 Report post Posted July 12, 2018 1st panel basted and backlit.. Still a touch Stripey on the outside edge but I think it will look nice in the air.. Color mix was 100% determined by the size of the scrap and not by spectrum order or placement. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
