Lantern Corps Wall Quilt

Here is the Etsy link to the listing.

Quilt measures 61” x 61”

This is meant to be hung on a wall as art. While it would normally also be a lap quilt, the quilted oaths are very delicate. Washing this and using this as a lap quilt will make the oaths fade. To preserve the oaths script on the wall quilt, this will need to be spot cleaned only. Again, this is meant to be wall art.

This is the ideal gift for the Lantern Corps fan in your life and would be great as a birthday, Christmas, or house-warming gift. It would also make a great hanging in a nursery or comic book store!
Also, for guilt-free shopping – the funds from this quilt are going to help pay for my grad school costs.

The Flash Baby Quilt

My sister is very good at getting me out of my comfort zone when it comes to quilt designs.  She’s not a quilter herself, but she has a great eye for detail and can think up some really fun ideas.  So when she asked me to make a baby quilt for a friend that was Flash-themed, I knew it was going to be fun.

I looked around online and found a few ideas.  Some of them were gorgeous, but I didn’t have the time to devote to them.  And then I found this minimalist poster from Andres Romero.  He’s done a bunch of them, and the simplicity was promising.

We decided that this image was perfect, and we would add in some type of full-bodied image at the bottom, maybe with the running motion.

The actual face was easy because I just appliqued the shapes on.

After that, I did the same for the running figure.  We played around with the idea of having gray gradient figures spaced out behind him, but time constraints prevented that.  So I decided that I would use a quilting design echoing behind him to get the same effect.  I like how it turned out.

I quilted over the whole thing with an homage to the lightening shown behind Flash in comics while he’s running. It does look a bit like a heartbeat, though.  Oh well.

My sister picked out a Super Friends themed fabric for the backing.

With so many angles, I decided to soften it a bit by curving the edges.  I like the overall effect!
