Star Wars Themed Quilt Cover for a Bench
This quilt cover project has been on my to-do list since 2022! I decided to just bite the bullet and start it last January. I thought I could finish it in two to three weeks, but no, it stretched to almost six weeks. I got busy doing other home projects.
The design is quite simple, but making twelve pieces of 4x4 squares took awhile to make. I also decided to use the QAYG technique since the main quilt cover measures 58" x 44". I basically made a blanket with flaps. I left the flap open since the bench doubles as storage space. It's where I keep things that need to be further sorted (haha).
Here's how I made the quilted cover:
Materials:
fabric with design (I used a Star Wars themed fabric which I got from Spotlight in Singapore)
four solid colors fabric (orange, yellow, blue, green)
black fabric (for sashing and binding)
backing fabric
Design:
Size:
Main Cover - 58" x 44"
Flaps: 20" x 12"
