I used Quilt as you go method, but I made this a balanced creative quilt back.

A Spacey Quilt
This quilt will be enjoyed by a six year old boy, Denver Bonertz received his quilt for Christmas. He was thrilled.
This quilt was inspired by: Painted rocket blocks helping to make a theme for a boys quilt. Then I brain stormed - Rockets, Stars, Planets, and Spaces.
The rocket blocks dictated the color of the background and joining strips.
I prayed for enough material in these colors to carry this through.
My friend Sarah brought me a bag of material just the right colors, and just as I was about to start this quilt.
