I recreated Grace's quilt from Project Hail Mary

I have never quilted before so there are plenty of flaws. I tried to keep the quilt as accurate as possible! The only blocks I personally changed were the top right tiny square, which I changed to a fox for Grace, and the green square in the middle left, which I changed for my dog who sadly passed after battling cancer and I wanted to dedicate this quilt to her. 💖🌈

I started this in the beginning of June and worked on it whenever I had the time! Fair warning my proportions are not exact to the quilt (I tried my best and was inspired by others but with no flat photos of the whole finished quilt there's just no way 😭). The border is also different due to the difficulty in finding the same patterns. There is a lot I had to fix and add as I went. I will list my supplies below! 💕

Supplies:

  • ☆ Heat Sensitive Pens (for sketching)
  • ☆ Fabric Markers (Artisto and Betem)
  • ☆ Fabric Paint (Mont Marte)
  • ☆ Embroidery Floss
  • ☆ Lots of thread
  • ☆ Lots of Satin fabric
  • ☆ Lots of Cotton fabric
  • ☆ Fabric Scissors ☆ Pinking Shears (helps prevent fraying)
  • ☆ Rotary Cutter
  • ☆ Cutting Mat
  • ☆ Fabric Glue
  • ☆ Elmer's Glue Stick
  • ☆ Iron
  • ☆ Sewing Machine
  • ☆ Walking Foot
  • ☆ Free Motion Quilting Foot
  • ☆ Sewing Clips
  • ☆ Tear Away Interface
  • ☆ Batting (I used 80/20 cotton/polyester)
  • ☆ Stuffing (I used a little bit of stuffing in a few blocks to give them that "poof")
  • ☆ Backing (I used a polyester queen size sheet but you can use any fabric you like)

It was a lot of suffering but also a lot of fun! If anyone is inspired to make the quilt I wish you the best of luck and happy quilting! 🕺🎉

(p.s. Satin is a nightmare to work with... I used a tear away interface to help stabilize, but please be aware that it loves to fray and loves to move, so if you want to skip satin please go ahead lmao)
