I have a ton of this Riley Blake Rocket Age by October Afternoon Fabric. This darling novelty fabric is of a boy making space rockets, robots, and going on space adventures with his Teddy Bear companion. It has a 1950s-1960s vibe. I have used it in many quilts. My family has expanded in the past 5 years. I include “boy” fabrics in girl quilts. I’m picky when I purchase novelty fabrics. I subtly encourage science, math, nature & reading in my children’s quilts. When I’m using the same fabric, I get to use some design skills. I have included videos that have tutorials of the blocks. I quilt by check aka I have a long arm quilter quilt my quilts. Do you tend to use the same fabric or design?
DK Quilt Guild: A place for quilters to gather, share ideas, projects, and to make the world a better place, one quilt at a time. Join us and share your thoughts, projects, questions, and tips. Quilters here are at many different levels of skill. Beginners and non-quilters are welcome, too.
We NEED diarists!
Your diary can be elaborate and full of photos, a simple story of your own quilting history or that of someone you love, a discussion of a current project or a technique you're learning, new adventures... You could post quilt retreat-day recipes (things like crockpot meals, so food appears without much attention from you)...
We could do show and tell or open thread, also, but either way, we need diarists to host. It is EASY if you're willing to take the chance.

This sawtooth star block was the first time I used the Astronaut Boy fabric. I submitted it to the NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg’s Starblock Challenge Block for the 2014 International Quilt Festival in Houston.
