May The Force Be With You When You Quilt

Boy 1, who is my oldest son, was 7 months in the belly we went to see Star Wars. There wasn't anything like it and the sound was so loud. He was active and kicking the entire movie. The Engineer and I became instant Star Wars fans. It was natural evolution that our children all became fans and still are to this day. 
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.
