S will be having his birthday in April and he's been asking since I finished the last quilt if I'll make one for him. He's a HUGE star wars fan and we'll be decorating his bedroom soon. I'd like to make him a star wars quilt for his birthday present from me. So, any ideas? I did think of getting Penny/Squat Orange (Downsizer) to print some star wars pictures onto fabric squares. But I'm worried that with time, wash and wear they'll start to flake. I want this quilt to last forever! That's still an option, but I want to consider all ideas and options first before I decide how to tackle this project. Does anyone have any thoughts, suggestions, links and anything else that might prove helpful?

I was suprised when I visited just a small shop in a small town near me that they had all sorts of printed themes. For example I got Barbie doll material with all sorts of different Barbie doll figures and accessories on it That's all I can suggest - unless you make a starship enterprise out of squares, and then add squares around it with star shapes etc? _________________ Lottie the Allotment Lady Back to top Pilsbury 1 Star Club Joined: 09 Oct 2006 Posts: 314 Location: East London Posted: Tue Jan 09, 2007 8:17 pm    Post subject: lottie wrote: That's all I can suggest - unless you make a starship enterprise out of squares, and then add squares around it with star shapes etc?

Sorry but the Starship Enterprise is Star Trek not star wars, Maybe an X wing or Death Star......... OK so I am not a trekkie or whatever - but I do try and be helpful - besides Leonie is great at lateral thinking - she'll know what I mean CP Barbie for me - on no - not a pink person. My grandaughter's Christmas presentl she is Barbie 'mad'. Apron and bag - she was over the moon about it! Wore it when she used her Creativity set I bought her and is going to use the bag for her ballet 'gear'. Might make her another on in a different pattern. Or Barbie pencil case, purse - got lots left! _________________ Lottie the Allotment Lady Back to top Leonie2 5 Star Club Joined: 14 Jun 2006 Posts: 3148 Location: West Sussex Posted: Tue Jan 09, 2007 9:12 pm    Post subject: ahhhh, this is why I have you all here, I never thought of that!
