Top - Saturn; bottom left - Venus, bottom right - Jupiter
I'll create the planets and insert a layer of batting to work as trapunto and give them a little fullness, then I think I'll applique them by machine as invisibly as possible, but I'm undecided just yet, so am having an early night while I mull it over..
Top, L-R: Neptune, Uranus, Moon (commercial print)
Bottom, L-R: Earth, Mars (over-painted commercial print), Mercury
Bottom, L-R: Earth, Mars (over-painted commercial print), Mercury
After that, there are just a few details to add before quilting - at which stage I'll be adding a lot more details. I want to add in some of Jupiter's moons, a pair of green martians, the ISS, Saturn's rings, a comet and tail, the Southern Cross....

What about FMQing the land shapes with green thread onto the earth before appliquing it to the quilt, to add a bit of texture, but not taking away from the trapunto look?
