This mini quilt was made for my very first MQG Swap as a part of QuiltCon 2020. My swap partner was Sue Mueller (@susnquiltinaotr on Instagram). Sue said that she liked Ruby Star Society fabric, bright colors, and geometric designs. I also found out that she liked Star Trek which led me to this galaxy design. This mini was designed in Adobe Illustrator, foundation paper pieced, and composed of 400 HSTs!
For the fabric pull, I thought that Ruby Star Society’s Speckled fabric by Rashida Coleman-Hale would create the perfect illusion of a star dotted galaxy. This fabric line is also one of my favorites and they keep adding more colors! I used a little help from my mom, who is also a Star Trek fan, to come up with a name for it. Find more information about the title, here.
Sue and I swapped a little early at QuiltCon in Austin because Sue was on her way to becoming a Super Volunteer for the event, so we met in the lecture hall to swap our minis. I received this fantastic triangle shaped mini that features fabric from Anna Maria Horner. I love when Sue posts pictures of her sewing space and I can spot my mini on her wall!
