A very successful fabric shopping adventure yielded a wide array of Star Wars themed fabrics.
I started by making 9.5" framed blocks of the characters using white scraps (can you spot the couple of places where Kona Snow was accidentally used instead of Kona White...oh well, my buddy won't notice). I then cut some 9.5" squares of the larger scale prints, made a few four patch blocks and a few on-point blocks.
This is a busy quilt! I think he will enjoy searching through all the blocks for characters and scenes from his (and his father's!) favorite movie franchise!
Linking up with Lorna's Let's Bee Social and Amanda Jean's finish it up Friday parties!

Fabulous!! My boys would love this!! I love your combination of blocks ~ excellent work (as usual :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, Kathy! What a fabulous finish! I love the variety of blocks used. Adds a lot of interest! This quilt keeps the eyes moving. You have given me some inspiration. I have a bundle of Spider Man fabric that would work in a setting like this!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great job you did with the "audience" fabric! I need to kick myself into gear on an audience oriented quilt too. Its just hard with so many pretties. :D
ReplyDeleteNice work! Yes sometimes you must please your audience. I love that there are so many different things to look at. And the Kona white vs Snow only adds character!
ReplyDeleteI am not a kid but I LOVE Star Wars. This is just awesome and really made me smile!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Especially how your design makes all these very busy fabric work together in harmony.
ReplyDeleteI end up putting aside the lovely designer cottons often in favor of pop culture novelties like these... after all, it's all about how happy it makes the recipient!
Oh Wow! I also know several men in my family that would love this one! Good choice of fabrics, and pattern!
ReplyDeleteI think this is awesome. I know it will be loved. Your layout really works well with the busy fabric.
ReplyDeleteThat is a LOT of Star Wars! It really looks great.
ReplyDeletethis is so amazing. Both my boys would love a quilt like this. I really need to source some Star Wars fabric!
ReplyDeleteThis came out so cool! Love all the cartoons!
ReplyDeleteThis is so fun and sure to be well loved!!!
ReplyDeleteTimes like this makes me happy my nephew doesn't look at quilting blogs! He'd be begging for something like this. It looks terrific!
ReplyDeleteI just love this one... all of those block styles, the prints and the calming white really adds up to a great top!
