Open Space – Star Wars Quilt: Episode I
The making of my first Star Wars quilt with my Kate’s Kwilt Studio Open Space pattern.

I thought Open Space was going to be a hard quilt to put together. Other than doing an entire section upside down, it was a lot easier to assemble than I thought. With this complete, I was onto the full-size version.

We had been collecting Star
Wars fabric for years. With the Open Space miniature test quilt
done, it was time to finally make the Star Wars quilt.

Some
of the Star Wars fabric definitely needed to be fussy cut.

Fussy cutting every single piece wasn’t
easy. The results were worth it, though.
The thing is, because the pieces were
so large, I was not fussy cutting nearly as much as I could have been.

| Sashing fabric - Northcott Fabrics |
I used an ombre fabric for the sashing. With so many different lengths of sashing, I was excited to see how the quilt would turn out.

A
22-1/2” piece of sashing was needed in and between the blocks. The blocks I made
for this pattern are that big.

It didn’t take too long for me to
near the end of my first Star Wars quilt (three are planned). All the
blocks were done. Attaching the sashing was all I had left to do before the
quilt top was complete.

The first Star Wars quilt top is done! One down, two to go.
