Ninja Star Quilt

I made this quilt for Dad.

 
I just loved the pattern when I saw it online. I got the idea that it looked like ninja stars, and then I found the awesome black and red Asian fabric at Joann's and it just fit perfect. The quilt is a throw size. He loves it... so mission accomplished!

The planets

Jackson has been learning about planets. He came home today and told me all about them and sang the song they learned to remember their names. Jackson just asked me to come and look at what he did. He had cars set out in a circle. He told me the name of each car. Each car was a planet and the color of the car matched the planet. It was really cool! All from memory. Earth was blue, mars was red, he even told me that Jupiter has a red spot... and he had a yellow car with red tinted windows for Jupiter. The windows were the "red spot". I didn't get a picture, but next time. He has been carrying his planet cars around all afternoon :)
