Comic Book Quilt

I have one last(ish) post for this years Pregnancy Care Centre Sew Along.

(I have to admit that I have another quilt top ready to go....but we shall see if I finish it this time along!)

In the box of fabric that the Fat Quarter Shop sent us, there was a number of pieces of Batman fabric.

I am generally not a fan of the 'superheroes' but I thought it'd be a good challenge to put together a quilt and it is always a fun challenge to use what is available either in my stash or what has been donated!

 

 

So, before I went to the quilt retreat, I had cut out the main pieces along with most of the sashing.

At the quilt retreat, I pieced the whole top (and pieced the next top.)

 

This is the result.

I am all comic-booked out! ha!

 

 

For the back, I used the last pieces that were the width-of-fabric, pieced with some more black I had in my stash.

The binding was also donated by the Fat Quarter Shop.

And, the batting is again a piece of flannelette that was donated.

 

 

Oh, and a funny story--I cannot keep the super heroes straight. At. all.

My son told me that this is Batman, (not Superman) since it has the bats.

I forgot what he called it and ended up referring to it as Spiderman (he at least exists, right?!)

And, I needed to be corrected again by a friend.

After which my sons (both this time) were so excited that I was cutting up Batman....

Sigh...where do they learn these things?

And, why do I not know these things?!

 

Maybe because I prefer comics like Donald Duck or Calvin and Hobbes...
