In September, I posted about starting a new art quilt of the planet Saturn<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I put this aside while I was working on other projects. I returned to it in December, and quilted the planet and the rings to the felt, then attached them to the background with zigzag stitching. I quilted the starry space background with a very dark purple thread. The finished size is 18″ x 41″. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My plan is to create more art quilts based on planets of the Solar System. The next one will be Neptune, featuring a multitude of blue fabrics and a similar batik fabric for the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
