Last year my friend Becky of Radical Geekery asked me to make a quilt for her, she had an idea of what she wanted but when I saw Nova Made's Starry Night quilt I knew she'd love it, and she did =) and so Starry Samhain Night was born.
The quilt measures 53.5" x 72". I used Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 batting and am again convinced that it is fantastic batting! Before washing the quilt was a little wobbly from all of those concentric circles, and post wash it is very relaxed and cozy. And of course the crinkle is amazing!
Becky is the one who sparked my interest/fascination/undying love of Doctor Who. When I came across the Doctor Who Along and saw their first block was a TARDIS, I knew it had to be included somehow, of course I was already working on the quilting at that point, so I creatively cut into the back corner and sewed it in. I think it turned out perfect, a little TARDIS flying through space.
Here is a closeup of the TARDIS. I am so happy with how it turned out. You can find the pattern for the block here. I'm sad to see this quilt go, but I know it is going to be well loved. Thank you Becky for letting me make something so ridiculously awesome for you!
This is awesome!! Love, love, LOVE, the quilting and the little Tardis!

OMG OMG! Seriously, I can't wait to get this quilt. The cool wind is blowing through my window and I just want to curl up in it. :)
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is amazing...Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a stunning quilt! I am sure it will be loved greatly at its new home!
ReplyDeleteSuch an amazing quilt! Loved watching your quilting progress on IG. You really did the quilt justice with that stunning spiral/circles! The Tardis on the back is the perfect touch!
ReplyDeleteIt's perfection! The quilting adds so much depth and movement. It will be well loved!
ReplyDeletewow! that is breathtakingly beautiful. will you offer a tutorial/pattern? Please!
ReplyDeleteNo pattern or tutorial because it wasn't original. I will compile a list of the star blocks I used, and maybe a general guide. =)
DeleteAnd thank you!
Love this so much!!
ReplyDeleteThis is really stunning!!
ReplyDeleteLindsey - this is simply so stunning! I love everything about it, particularly the dense circular quilting. I love it and I've pinned it to my "Quilty Goodness" board on Pinterest (with proper credit, of course!). Feel free to follow me if you'd like: http://pinterest.com/lipglass/quilty-goodness/
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I am just now finding this! I have been working on a large starry night/tardis quilt since April! Beautiful quilt, colors, quilting! How did you piece together the moon? I didn't want to buy a paper piecing pattern, so I've decided to applique it and a mini tardis (same pattern you used, but scaled up a bit) after the quilting is done.
ReplyDeleteLove this! What is the name of the back fabric? It's perfect for this!
