For now, this picture will have to suffice. But you can see the blocks are sashed. I know – the light sabers aren’t there yet. But they are on the finished quilt. The big final reveal will be delayed for purposes of finding an awesome backdrop for the photos. My boring backyard photos just aren’t going to cut it. I mean, this is an epic quilt considering each block took 2-3 hours. Yeah, each. So I’m not just hanging this baby on the clothesline for photos. I’ll have to get creative.
And I’m sure you’ve all been waiting with bated breath for this announcement… all the LEGO Star Wars blocks have now been listed in my Craftsy shop. For free. Have fun and may the force be with you and all that.
Oh there is one more… but he hasn’t been tested yet. Had a special request for another baddie in the form of General Grevious. Hands up if you want to test him! Then he’ll be available too. THEN all the characters will be listed. AND THEN I’m calling it quits on LEGO Star Wars patterns. I don’t think I have it in me to make any more LEGO Star Wars patterns at this time!
For a break from all this LEGO Star Wars nonsense… I have made something on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. How about a very pink (as in ALL pink according to Miss 3’s
So that’s where I’m up to. Progress happening, new projects started and yet more patterns. Busy busy busy.
That is a truly epic quilt. I would have loved to have my mum make me that! Are you travelling to a galaxy far far away to photograph it? :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the final quilt Kristy. I think you will be relieved when it is all finished :-)
ReplyDeleteEpic doesn't even begin to describe it Kristy!! This one goes way beyond epic!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the final finish!
And does it get any better than pink unicorns? I think not!
What?!?! Basting?! And unicorns?! My my my, aren't you a delight today!
ReplyDeleteGeneral Grevious just looks sooo evil. Well done!!
ReplyDeleteThis is simply amazing.
ReplyDeleteThat red sashing is perfect! Thanks for giving us a teaser to hold us over!
ReplyDeleteEpic Star Wars, very pink, magical unicorns never a dull day at Quiet Play!!! I think you chose the perfect color of sashing; it really enhances the blocks and makes tem pop. Great work my friend!!
ReplyDeleteYour som will LOVE his qwuilt - the force is strong in that one!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous, can't wait to see the fully finished article. I have only managed to make 3 blocks so far so I am a very long way behind. Thank you so much for these patterns. May the force be with you.

ReplyDeleteGeneral Grevious is one of my son's fave characters so I would be more than happy to test his pattern for you. I'm planning to do the rest of them too and give him the quilt for Christmas :)

Will you put into etsy the pink unicorn? My 5-year old daughter would love it (probably for Christmas). She is totally into horses, ponies and unicorns (she does not even play with any kind of dolls...) and definitely pink on pink (sometimes purple).

lol, agreed, star wars to pink unicorns is a stretch! One I'm going with though. :) Very cool, I love the red.
ReplyDeleteI love the red sashing - really sets off the blocks and very SW too. As for the unicorn, I may turn into Agnes "Unicorns I love them, unicorns I love them!"
ReplyDeleteEpic it is; impressed am I!
ReplyDeleteGeneral Grievous??? Seriously - you are amazing. wow. awesome.
ReplyDeleteKristy your (J's) Star Wars quilt is absolutely wonderful! I can't believe that you've put it together so quickly. My kiddos had their Book Week dress up day today so I have spent the last few days sewing a Qui-Gon Jinn costume for my Star Wars fanatic. Mr 3 spied someone in a unicorn costume at school - love your unicorn!
ReplyDeleteYour Star Wars blocks are so fab ~ someone is going to be very happy with this quilt! You really are an amazing pattern maker ~ so impressed!
ReplyDeleteJust A-M-A-Z-I-N-G¡¡¡¡¡
ReplyDeleteA.DOR.A.BLE !!! Love your little pink unicorn! Your daughter has style already!!
ReplyDeleteSusie
Have you seen that Star Wars fabric made by Camelot Cottons, with the names of the characters? I just saw some here: http://www.fashionablefabrics.com/camelot-cottons.aspx
ReplyDeleteErmahgerd is it too late to test general grievous? His laugh is the email tone on my phone ahha! Thank you so much for being so freaking awesome about these lego star wars patterns! I have never not ever quilted, but I just finished my first pieced paper square (Green Lantern) and it's SO good! I cannot wait to incorporate these Star Wars bad boys into my sewing!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt, cannot WAIT for the finished pictures. Seriously. You are ROCKIN!
