The Force Quilt – Pattern Launch
January 17th, 2018 by Camelot Fabrics
This fall Camelot teamed up with Julie Herman of Jaybird Quilts to create The Force Quilt pattern, which Julie sewed for us in our new Star Wars: The Last Jedi collection. We revealed the quilt at Fall Quilt Market in Houston, and we were blown away by Star Wars fans’ positive response!
The Force Quilt is made with the letter block patterns from Alphabet Soup by Jaybird Quilts. Julie offers a free pdf extension on her website, showing how to make The Force Quilt with the letter blocks from the book. Be sure to visit our website for the project’s yardage requirements. Fabrics are from The Last Jedi cotton collection, which is in stores right now.
Read on for quilt specs, links, and details on The Force Quilt fabric Giveaway.

My son would flip for this quilt, his whole room is Star Wars! I have always identified with Princess Leia because of her sass and determination. She was never afraid to put Han Solo in his place and follow through with her plans!

I saw the original Star Wars in a theater in New York that tells you how old I am. I would make this for a young girl at church. I think she is a Princess Lea. Tough and sassy and cute.

Han Solo without Leia isn’t Han Solo. Love their relationship 😉 So if I really have to choose I’d say Princess Leia

Leia.
She could have had the easy live as a princess or let others save her but she decided to save herself and her friends. She works within in the system but bends and breaks the rules to make things better

I can’t answr that question Bc I’ve never seen ANY of the movies!! I’m going to wait until this trilogy is on DVD and binge watch.

Princess Leia! She is an amazingly strong woman who has always kept freedom for all people firmly in her sights. Plus my fiance and I are getting married next year on Star Wars Day so this would rock for our wedding quilt!
