The Super Star quilt is finished!!!
Yippee!!! Yay!!!
I've made it for Gbf who kept saying he wanted a quilt of aliens, robots and alien-robots. You can tell I've had fun collecting all these spacey fabrics.
There's bits of old sheets,
How funny are those googly eyed green guys?! I found them on a site that has vintage pictures printed onto fabric.
And modern fabrics, The red Prints Charming atomic dots really add sparkle!
It even glows in the dark!!
For something different I used polar fleece on the back instead of wadding and backing. I wanted this to be his quilt that he can take when camping, or on bike riding weekends. Something easy to wash! It's cosy and soft to touch and hides my uneven quilting stitches. I was happy when I found fleecy robots!

A nice sense of achievement.
