notes: back in october, my friend, robynn, was trying to pick out a quilt to make for her son's bedspread. i sent her a few options, including this one, and volunteered to make it for her since i love to quilt but don't have the budget to run out and buy a bunch of fabric right now. it was a win-win situation. so, i made up a pattern and got her a list of fabric requirements and she went out and picked out and bought the fabric and shipped it to me (fabric is much cheaper in utah than washington, plus i wanted her to pick out the fabric that she wanted). her son just got new star wars sheets, so the fabrics go with that theme, including the backing, which is an actual star wars print (of course, i forgot to get a picture of the back before sending it off).
i got the fabric at the beginning of november and had the top pieced and pinned to the back in three days. it was a really easy pattern, with lots of strip quilting. robynn still had to pick out the binding fabric but we both got sidetracked by christmas projects, so it took a while for her to get me the binding and then it took me a while to get up the desire to sew again after all of my christmas projects. i started quilting it about a week ago and spent a lot of time sewing while chatting with my mom during her visit this past weekend. i really wanted to get it done so that my mom could take it back to utah with her. my mom was kind and put on the binding for me (she is much better at machine binding than i am) and we finished it up a couple hours before she left. it means that i didn't have time to wash it before i sent it off, so the quilt didn't crinkle up before these pictures, and i forgot to measure the finished quilt and take a picture of the back.
i hope that the young jedi knight will enjoy his new quilt.
