Dr. Who tartis/Apollo 11 two sided quilt
 

I've had this quilt in my mind for a few years now but wanted our grandson to enjoy the rather difficult quilt I made for him several years ago. He is now 7 years old, fascinated in all kinds of science and wants to build a "teleporter" when he grows up so the travel from his house to ours doesn't take 14 hours!
I used two patterns: Relatively Dimensional from Hunter's Design Studio (There are directions for custom ordering the worded sections from spoonflower.com inside the pattern), and the kit Giant Stitch from Kelli Fannin Quilt Designs.
I had to add borders to the sides of the tartis, and the top and bottom of the Apollo to enable me to make them two sided and they ended up approximately 56" x 80". As seen here they are now sandwiched and ready to quilt. I'm using a flange border with navy on the tartis side, and an orange flange on the Apollo side. Since I don't want to put a label on either side I used the alphabet on my sewing machine to "write" my message of: To Eli Love Nana 2020 on one side of the binding before I attach it. I hope you enjoy.....I know he will : ) Binding picture is below in a separate post.

Precious! and beautiful!

Nice quilts! I wish the picture of the Tardis was bigger so I could see the writing more.... I'll bet your grandson will be thrilled.

Very nice quilts. Sounds like it will be perfect for him.

Love your quilts. Perfect for young people.

what a wonderful two sided quilt!! he will love it I'm sure, no matter which side is up, any young boy would love this gift made with lots of love from his gram.

Wow, that Apollo 11 is amazing!

Wow, great job. I especially love the Apollo 11!

Wow, how creative. Your teleporter story touched my heart, grands hold such a special place in our hearts. That is a perfect quilt for your story and a 7 year old boy. I can see many snuggle days ahead.

that is so special! he will love this and sure to be a keepsake. My oldest g-boy gave up his ISpy quilt in favor of a Walmart Star Wars "quilt". I asked him if it was time for a "teen" quilt(thinking denim and plaids) as he goes into Middle school (hopefully he will actually BE in MS with this dang Covid) but he was rather ho-hum--so will wait until next year or later .

Great job congratulations your grandson will enjoy it.

Fun quilt(s) for your grandson made extra special by grandma.

wonderful! I know he will love it!

That's such an awesome quilt. Your grandson is going to be "over the moon" with this one. Well done!!!

super creative.

Love the space ship side!!

The Apollo 11 quilt is a work of art! All the traditional blocks made into this daring quilt is amazing!! I love how that flying geese are made to 'blast off' into outer space. This quilt speaks volumes. Thanks for sharing these beautiful and welll made creations.

Wonderful quilt and love the idea of your label. The space ship is such nice workmanship. Your grandson is going to be so thrilled to get this quilt. I think he has a great idea for traveling to Nana's house.

This quilt is awesome! I'm sure your grandson will love it for a long time.

Great quilt!
