This is a fabric panel from the Star Wars movies, featuring Rey & BB-8. I wanted to add a border and quilt it and then donate this to Project Linus. It sat for a long time until I decided what border to make. At first I thought of making wonky stars for the border. I made one wonky star block and didn't like it enough to make more. I think because I used tans, blues and reds in the wonky star and it would have looked too distracting around this panel. I decided to sew free form crumb style blocks using neutral tans, but I added a red center square to each for some interest. I am happy with the outcome of this quilt.
I like how Rey is a strong female in the movie and I think this will make a great Project Linus donation to a young girl.
The quilt measures 45.5" wide x 52" high.

| The back of the quilt is mostly flannel (I added strips of the blue binding fabric too as I didn't have enough of the flannel). I quilted it using a serpentine stitch on a diagonal. |
