This is my second entry for the Blogger's Quilt Festival, to see my first entry please click here.
My second entry for the blogger's quilt festival is for the modern quilts category.
I wanted to enter my Space Invader's quilt.
I loved making this quilt so much. It took me quite a while, but every time I completed an invader I did a little dance....and named them. :)
It was amazing, to me, to see it all come together.
For the front (the invaders) I used 2 inch finished squares.
For the back (my favorite part) I used 1.5 inch finished squares.
The quilt finishes at 58x64. I machine pieced the quilt, and machine quilted it (on my home machine) with an all over boxy pattern.
I gave it to my nephew for Christmas and he will not (according to my sister) sleep without it.
I have Elizabeth Hartman to thank for the inspiration. She made a space invaders quilt on her blog Oh, Fransson! way back in 2012.
Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteThat back is awesome! Great work - and I love the touch of the tank shooting at the invader!
ReplyDeleteDropping by from BQF, what an amazing quilt and how fun - hardly surprising your nephew won't go to sleep without it! :D

ReplyDeleteI've yet to make a pixel quilt, though with my two little guys loving super mario i see one or two in the future!
The back cracks me up. Great work!
