A Wonderful World Of "Space Race" Color Blog Hop

Today is my day to hang out in Moosestash Quilting's "Wonderful World of Color" blog hop and with Joan as the hostess, this week is going to rock with amazing inspiration! Thanks, Joan!

Joan's challenge was simple: The sky is the limit. Color, world, lets face it anything fits this theme, don't you think?

I got excited about Benartex's new fabrics, "Space Race" by Painted Sky Studios, and thought they definitely fit the "world" and "color" part of this challenge. The fabrics are beautiful and the colors are bright!

"Space Encounter"
54" x 66"


My quilt back is Shadow Blush Twilight Blue in 58" wide fabric.


There are several panels available, including this one that is approximately 24" x 57".
(This was trimmed to a smaller size to fit the quilt)


Gorgeous panels to choose from!


Love the gradients and planets in these fabrics.

The spaceman's applique fabric was Cotton Shot Licorice and Cotton Shot Wedding Pearl.
It has a nice sparkly shine to it.
 

There was a space encounter with a little green guy!


A little out-of-this world church visit isn't a bad idea, especially when it's as cool as this
one at Nelsons Ghost Town. The stained glass behind the quilt is beautiful.


You can find the pattern for "Space Encounter" HERE.

This fabric really called my name with all the beautiful colors in it, so with a little leftover I made a mini quilt. I had no idea that aliens made quilts and had UFO's in their spaceship like we have in our closets. 



The photo crew was awesome!

How do you design a quilt inspired in a holiday season, what is the creative 
process and where do you get your inspiration?

  1. Beautiful colours Carol, and a much fun quilt. I think a bit of whimsy in a quilt lifts it to a different level. Thanks for broadening my whimsy smile this morning.

  3. Beautiful! My mind should have also gone to “out of this world,” as I have a space baby quilt to finish. But I went two other directions.

  4. I love how you shortened the panel and added your own "Carol" touches to it. I bet one of those monkey boys will be wanting this quilt! And that creepy Sheriff with his UFO is fun too.

  6. Such a really fun and colorful quilt, Carol! I was thinking along the same lines as Daryl, that the monkey boys will be wanting this quilt. I love the photo shoot out in the desert. Perfect for alien landings. And isn’t that fun with the curious little alien peeking down from the top! Hahaha...the aliens don’t look all that happy that you’ve discovered and exposed their secret quilting adventures. I’m sure they stole that from us on one of their midnight landings and sneaking around.

  9. You sure know how to bring it, when you design your quilts. The panel is beautiful, but that alien and astronaut are the icing on the cake! LOL!! I'm so glad you and Carla had such fun on your adventure at Nelsons and those handsome guys were there to help with your photo shoot! Fun Fun Fun!

  10. Beautiful quilt and the colors are amazing! I really like the fabrics with the stars and planets too. One of my granddaughters would love a quilt like that. If I lived close enough to you, it might just disappear, and you would know where it went! Hee, hee!

  23. What a great set of panels. I love both your additions, the space man and the little green fellow. Also love your shoot locations. The church/stained glass are amazing but the dessert background shots tie with the green guy perfectly. Also your having such a great staff of helpers is wonderful.
