I bought this Star Wars panel 10 years ago and had good intentions of putting it in a quilt for Boy 1. When Boy 2's wife said she would like to put it together I sent her the panel along with the Yoda & Darth panels (not pictured) on the back so she could select the rest of the fabric. Well, she got busy - three kids will do that to a person. She got as far as purchasing the rest of the fabric for the quilt and I then told her I could find the time to put it together. Back it came in the mail and below you will see the results of shopping and shipping. Boy 1 loved his quilt and sent me these pictures of it.
I quilted the borders in what I call circuit board. I practiced drawing this first on paper. It's just like stippling where you don't want to work yourself into a corner. Then in the panel flames seemed appropriate I used King Tut variegated thread in red, yellow and green. I wasn't very excited about this project until I quilted it and then it came alive.
Although these photos do it little justice, any Rebel on Hoth would have rather wrapped up in this quilt than a gutted Wampa. May the force be with all your quilting adventures.
Quilting addict, I am.
