Description
This is a quilted wallhanging I made which took a first place at the Minnesota State Fair. Adding together the time spent thinking about and designing this quilt, finding the fabrics and actually making it, the 43 1/2" square wallhanging took one year to complete.*EDIT: November 5th 2006: I'm happily surprised to have this quilt featured as a DD.
Many thanks to ~MN-Vixen for suggesting it and to `dedredhed for featuring it.

This is beautiful. I love your fabric choices. My mom quilts. Alas I dont have the patience myself for sewing, though the fractal like ness of quilt patterns do intregue me. Congrats on wining with this one. It was well deserved and worth it.

This isn't only an image... it's a QUILT?!? You stitched all this together?!
I am in awe. No, I am flat-out flabbergasted.
I can believe it took a full year to complete! And think it not only merited first place at the state fair, it should've gotten grand prize.

Yeah...thanks for that. I'm proud of this quilt: it hangs over my couch all the time. Too bad I found fractals, though...I'm not quilting at all now.

Not surprising, as I'm sure creating fractals does not involve repeatedly getting stuck by pins and needles...

Interesting that you said this quilt is like looking into the galaxy. The name came about because I thought it looked like snapshots of space, something you'd bring home to show the family after a trip to the edge of the galaxy. Nice catch on the imagery.
Thanks for the great comment and the fav. It's appreciated.

Gorgeous quilt! The colors are so vibrant and eye-catching!
I love fabrics and have a huge collection. I wish I could feel the fabrics in this. They look so rich!
I love to sew, but I have nowhere near the talent shown in this quilt!
