The first block was published earlier this week, and just so happens to be a Tardis - so the birthday present is made. It's only three months late ;o)
The dark blue is Quilters Linen in midnight, the lighter blue is a sketch fabric and the background is a print from Tula Pink's The Birds and The Bees collection. I deliberately chose the background to give a sense of movement. It's simply quilted in the ditch using Aurifil thread (50wt in 2740) with some straight lines radiating out from the centre in a lighter blue (Aurifil 50wt 50060). It measures 12.5" square - so a big mug rug I guess.
Hope everyone is having a great week!

Oh my gosh that is awesome!! I have to admit I am a Dr Who junkie, I think I need to make myself one.
Awesome! Love it and the show. :)
Ah, better late than never! All will be forgiven I'm sure! It's fabulous! Some of those pieces would be really tiny.....
that ROCKS!!!!!
So cool!
hahahaha, awesome. In all my geekery, I never really got into Dr. Who, but know plenty who have and would fall over each other for this! The swirly whirly fabric is a perfect choice. :)
Ahhh how did I miss this sew along? I have to learn how to paper piece first, lol. But I'll be looking. Your TARDIS looks good enough to fly away in!
Brilliant Jess he should be very happy - the background works so well!
You didn't fancy this one then

Wow! Love it :)
You did an awesome job showing movement from the lantern with the cloth choice and color. The stitches added more emphasis to the movement making the whole an incredible work of art. Your friend is very lucky!

My brother also wants the large Tardis quilt. If you find a tutorial please let me know or else I will spend a LOT of time trying to get the dimensions right on my own with my trusty graph paper :)
And I'm sure your partner agrees it was worth the wait!
Oh oh oh!! I am going to HAVE to jump on board later in the year! I am a Whovian and just am amazed by this. I'll be following along with the QAL. :-)
Fantastic TARDIS!
That is FanTasTic!!! I love the background fabric, yours is definitely moving ;D
I'm looking forward to this QAL!
That is amazing! I plan to make one for a gift too. I LOVE your choice of background fabric!!! Perfect!
AWESOME!! The background is just perfect too :-)
Oh my goodness I wish I'd never seen this - now I'm going to have to make one for my husband; I tried to ignore your post but felt too guilty!!! Maybe if you hadn't made it look quite so good?! :)
Oh I love it! Another to add to the list for my son (who at the moment really only like Doctor Who when it very occasionally has dinosaurs in it!)
Just awesome, and great choice on the background!
Love it, especially the background choice, although I now have the theme song stuck in my head :o/
amazing..really cool!
That's amazing, and the background fabric is perfect. I'm off to follow the link xxx
Awesome!!! And I love how you've used that print to show the movement of the tardis through time and space! So clever! So cool :)
LOL, this is doing the rounds of facebook at the moment and I shared with my adult daughter who is a mad Dr Who fan! Thanks so much :).
Cheers, Robyn
Dang that's great! You would like this tardis sewing kit a friend made me http://www.flickr.com/photos/luckyduckdreams/7946003516/in/set-72157628690040641
Combining Dr Who and Quilting, would could be better?
OMG! This is freaking awesome. :) I'm just getting caught up on about a week's worth of blog posts and this just jumped out at me from my feed. So fun! Love this Jess!
Woah, that background is just trippy-ly perfect!!
