Space Invader Quilt

[bertine]

This year for Convergence I want to enter a quilt in the Art Show . I think it would be interesting to keep track of the cost of making a quilt, both in time and in fabric costs. I would start the bidding for the quilt at the price of the fabric which I estimate to be around $170. I am not sure if anyone would buy a quilt for that much but I think it is going to look pretty awesome.

The quilt is going to have a giant space invader on it and will be about 6'5" square.




Anyways, I am doing the background in a dark gray and I was thinking about this fabric line for the space invader squares:



Each of the squares would be done in patchwork so the space invader would be even more pixelated. I am not sure about the color, I love the oranges, yellows and pinks but Zach seemed to think the orange wasn't so nice.

I wouldn't like that orange on its own, but in conjunction with the other two colours it's pretty awesome.

That is how I feel. I think the three colors together look awesome and will really pop against that dark gray background.

Agreed! And I love the concept entirely!
