Dr. Who collectables scatter my godson's bedroom and Tardis comments pepper his conversation on a regular basis. I've never seen an entire episode
(Shh, don't tell!) but-- I can assure you, Godson has seen them ALL and he and his friends LOVE the show.
Over the years I've searched far and wide for
Dr. Who collectibles and treats, picking them up in my travels and hoping it's something he doesn't already have.
This year, I'm pretty sure his upcoming birthday will make me a bit of a hero, if I do say so myself.
This is what I made for him...
(It took a while to put together using the Relatively Dimensional quilt pattern by Hunter's Design Studio. I made the border slightly larger using Quilter's Linen Metallic-- the solids are Kona Cotton. All are from my favorite fabric store--
Sew Modern in Los Angeles.)
While working on the quilt, I tried to subtly drill Godson about specifics on the Tardis so I could quilt it as "real" as possible. That process was a bit like pulling teeth but in the end, I figured out enough to give it a go...
Late in the game I learned there is some sort of round seal so I winged it to give the very basic "idea" of where it belongs.
Spoonflower was my source for the printed panels. Info for that was included in the pattern.
I'll give the quilt wrapped with popcorn and all the goodies to go with an evening of
Dr. Who binge watching with his friends.
The quilt has been washed so it's super soft and crinkly, which I love. And it'll get even better with each washing.
Happy Birthday to my favorite
Dr. Who fan!
