Default Darth Vader

Good Morning,
I think I first saw this quilt on this forum but can't remember. Went to Pinterest and they have many "pearlized beads" patterns. You know those beads you put together and melt with an iron. So I made this quilt from one of those patterns. It turned out quite large since I used 2.5" squares. I used a paperpieced pattern from Craftsy to make the label. 71" by 81" Now to gift it to the young man who loves Star Wars. Now let's see if these pictures will be upright and not sideways.

That is cool! Great quilt.

My son in law is also a Star Wars fan. He loves the stormtroopers, so I'm making him a sampler quilt with stormtrooper fabric for his birthday in October. I actually had the Boom group do it. I sent in stormtrooper fabric to everyone in the Boom block swap. Made about 10 additional blocks myself.

Perfect for the Star Wars fan. Clever of you to convert a pattern for those beads into quilting!

Great looking quilt. Wonderful idea to use a bead pattern -- have used a bead pattern once to do a plains Indian quilt for a friend since I could not find fabric that worked. One bead = one square and you are off and running. Great job.
