In September, I posted about starting a new art quilt of the planet Saturn.
I put this aside while I was working on other projects. I returned to it in December, and quilted the planet and the rings to the felt, then attached them to the background with zigzag stitching. I quilted the starry space background with a very dark purple thread. The finished size is 18″ x 41″.
My plan is to create more art quilts based on planets of the Solar System. The next one will be Neptune, featuring a multitude of blue fabrics and a similar batik fabric for the background.

Thanks for stopping by.
I’m linking up with Nina-Marie’s Off the Wall Friday, where you’ll find many other creative and inspirational projects.

Love this… gives a real sense of floating in space. Looking forward to the next one!
