Space dust!

The night before I flew off to sunny Ireland, I was lucky enough to attend a LMQG meet with Tula Pink.  Tula was fabulous and talked us through her design processes and had bought over a few of her quilts to show us.

When Tula showed us Space dust  I fell in love!

 Now I appreciate that is possibly the worst pic in the world, so you can see it properly here.

I bought the pattern as soon as I could get on the Internet at my Mum and Dads and started planning on the fabrics I wanted to use.  I knew that I wanted to use solids and maybe a print for the borders and then I did a little search in Flickr and saw this.

That sealed the deal for me and this is what I have plucked out of my fabric cupboard....

Mixture of Klona and Kona solids with Wordplay 13 for the background.

As the original quilt size is massive, I have decided to print the templates (all 40+) at 75% to give me a nice lap size quilt.  I am hoping to get started on this tomorrow after I have finished the last pencil case.

Right, now I have to go clean the house and make  chilli for my afternoon soiree ;-)
