Star Wars Quilt...Finished!

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away I started this Star Wars quilt.
Okay, so it was only three years ago and not that far away, but now it is finished...yay!

I even practiced free motion quilting on it (don't look too close) with King Tut thread.

The "crew" was out to help me and tried to hang it on this bridge piece, but it wouldn't stay there.
It's a piece of a bridge that came down during a flood in 2005.

The quilt is a birthday gift for a Star Wars/Sci Fi kind of guy.

Star Wars Quilt And King Tut Thread

King Tut meets Star Wars!

Quilting thread and quilt, I mean.

I love the huge glass canning jar my sister gave me and Superior Threads gorgeous 

variegated King Tut thread colors look amazing showing through the glass.

None of the threads in the jar were "perfect" so the three-year-old Monkey Boy and

I headed off to Superior Threads to look around. I love that store and of course, found what I needed!

I think the guy with the tape gun closing up boxes for shipping got Monkey Boy's attention more 

than all those humongous rows of threads. Wowzers! There is so much thread in that store!

The Star Wars quilt is sandwiched and ready to quilt thanks to Monkey Boy #2.

He's such a big help with my projects...I don't want him to go home tomorrow!

I'm sure his mom and dad want him back, so I guess he'll have to go. Darn!
