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.
