star field cargo blanket

i made, what i imagined to be, a future version of a basic cargo blanket. one that my space trucker might find in the cargo bay of his ship. i thought this would be an interesting background for a star field quilt. i'm projecting an image of ancient, white dwarf stars in the milky way onto it and machine quilting stars into it.

he also makes amazing jewelry. check it out: alexander pakis

got all the pieces of the "sandwich" put together and have started quilting the pillars of creation quilt. i also moved into a new studio space this week and it's more than double the size of my old one! even though it's still kind of a wreck in there, the quilting hoop was the first thing to go up, so i didn't have to wait to get started.

Last quarter

finally got the bottom right corner all stitched together.
