"Milky Way" by Kelli

What a fun quilt.  Start with a Friendship star block, then add 4 patch units to the corners, to make it "Milky Way".  Piece with Monsters vs Robots fabric

Now add this great border, and quilt with the Monsters Pantograph.  Oh, did I mention that not only does the white background fabric glow in the dark, but so does the thread?  Sadly, my camera won't pick up either, but trust me, this is going to be a glorious quilt for some lucky kiddo!

"Mouse and Moon" by Xande

 To begin with I truly admire people who do paper piecing.  I am able to do it, but have other techniques I prefer.  Secondly, Xande designed the whole quit by herself.  Found a design idea that she liked, then figured out how to make it a paper pieced quilt top.  Wow.

 I am pretty certain that the background fabric glows in the dark, as does the thread.  Swirly design in the moon face,

 and 2 new quilting designs "discovered" for this quilt.  "Constellation" in the background, and an as yet unnamed border design.  Suggestions?

Some flames in the belly of the mouse to give him some texture, and continuous curves in the star to emphasize it.

"More Miles than You" by me

Joe is my middle brother, and biking buddy. I've know for how long that his birthday is in October, and yet still didn't get his quilt to him until November.

 For those of you who may not have had the pleasure of seeing Joe in his full cycling "glory", here's a shot of him in a some of his more tame attire.  So if you see this guy on the street, please just point and laugh.  That's what we do.

Quilted with leaves in the outer red border, and bike fabric for the inner border.

The fabric for the bike applique is something I found specifically for this specifically for Joe.  I call the color "Make Your Eyes Bleed" green.  Then I was having issues with my usual sewing machine.  I stitched the whole applique down with glow in the dark thread, but after quilting it, found out that a good chunk of the applique stitches were coming undone.  Mom, and her sewing machine to the rescue, and I restitched around all of the applique, again with glow in the dark thread.  Actually, it turned out better this way, and now the bike really glows.  Kind of like Joe.

A tight background fill throughout the black.

"Dragon Fire" by me.

 In 2015, we, brother Joe, friends Xande, and I rode on Cycle Oregon.  I had an intuition as we went through Weiser,  Idaho that there was a quilt shop nearby, and I was right!  Due to a forest fire, our route was changed, and we got to back through Weiser, when the shop was open!  I found a coordinating print that goes with this panel, and had to have it.  Then found the panel!  What fun!

 The sorcerer is directing his dragons to "go outside and play!"  I had so much fun quilting the panel!  Lots of quilting in the "grout" of the castle between the stones, and around the fields in the background.

 Although you can't tell in these photos, I used a really fun thread that glows in the dark!  It's kind of greenish blue on the cone, but glows green in the dark.  And, the stars in the border and binding fabrics also glow! 

 I even quilted some of the scales on the blue dragon's belly, so they look really cool in the dark!

 This quilt went to Officer Tori for the police.  I only wish I could see the look on the kiddo's face that gets this when they realize that the quilt glows.  So much fun!

Okay, so my photography skills are limited.  I really tried to get a shot of the thread glowing, but it just didn't work out. You'll have to take my word for it.
