"My Universe" quilt

I just finished this quilt for my 5 y/o grandson who loves space. I love how it turned out but I can not wait to see his face this weekend when I give him his quilt and a much smaller replica that I made without batting for him to cover up with at nap time in preK this year.

From what I can see it looks cute and what a terrific idea to make him the smaller version for preschool ! You sound like a cool grandma. Lucky grandson.

She took the words right out of my mouth! Wow! He's going to love it. So bright!

OH my gosh I love your quilt! Do you recall the name of the fabric of space in the center? The way you made the center a circle and it looks like a planet is absolutely genius! I would really appreciate it if you can remember the collection or name of the fabric you used. Thanks so much.

Gorgeous quilt, he is going to just love it!

This was a kit called "my universe". I will get the exact names of the fabric when i get home. I did alter the borders to be piano key verus what the pattern called for. Still worked great.

jojosnana 08-01-2012 08:27 AM

Cute and colourful. Perfect.

char634w 08-01-2012 10:16 AM

Out of sight stunning. Thanks for sharing.

So bright and colorful. He will love it.

The material for the center circle is called "my universe-multi". I bought the fabric and pattern at a quilt store near my daughter's home but have seen all the fabric online. I did revise the pattern to do the borders. The pattern called for weird triangles around the edges but I did a 4.5" x 1.5 " piano key type border instead.

Cris 08-02-2012 05:36 AM

That is so cool, great job!

sylvia77 08-04-2012 05:01 PM

Love it I'd make sure you put his name on it too.

Jammin' Jane 11-01-2012 09:42 AM
