Star Wars – Roll Call!

 16 paper pieced LEGO characters. Done. Done. Done. Well except for their faces. Obviously.

Paper pieced LEGO Star Wars characters

Plus 8 LEGO light sabers. Original plan was for 16 of them but my sanity said no. So 8 LEGO light sabers it is.

So the latest additions are Chewbacca (or Chewbugga as my 3yo calls him):

Paper pieced LEGO Chewbacca

and Luke Skywalker, complete with daggy 80’s haircut:

So next up – removing paper from all of these blocks. Yeah that doesn’t sound like fun to me either. Then it’ll be time for the really scary part – adding the faces. Yeah wish me luck on that!

You can find almost all of these paper pieced LEGO Star Wars patterns as freebies in my Craftsy shop (will add the last few soon). You know, in case you want to go paper piecing crazy and make your own Star Wars quilt :)

    paper i'd happily help you with, faces? are you sure they need them?

    so awesome!! I completely empathize with you on the paper removal! I dread that process too. I wish there was a paper that you could use and leave on that would melt away in the wash. Maybe you could invent some!! I love how the light sabers face each other, which is my segue to wish you luck in drawing the faces! I am sure you will make them look like their real counterperson :)

    How fun. Someone is going to love that quilt silly for the rest of their lives.

    I think when my daughter was young she used to say Kookabugga instead ofKookaburra.

    So cool! I'm still in awe of your design skills. And embroidering faces is a scary thought, but it's not so bad once you get going Ali x (bizinozi01@gmail.com) www.arabesque-scissors.com

    Wow, this is looking great. I'm sure you will be fine with the faces - they are lego ones, not the proper ones so they only need to be quite simple. Looking forward to seeing the final result!
