{"product_id":"first-contact-quilt-pattern","title":"First Contact Quilt Pattern","description":"First Contact quilt pattern turns four little Martians into a playful crib quilt full of color, character, and outer-space charm. This intermediate alien quilt pattern finishes at 40\" x 50\" and is traditionally pieced, using mostly background fabric with bright scraps for the Martian bodies, arms, legs, eyes, teeth, rope, sign, and beam. Small details— including several 1\" x 1\" pieces for the eyes and teeth—give each alien its expressive personality while adding a fun challenge for quilters ready to sharpen their precision piecing. Optional hand embroidery on the sign lets you add a sweet “Hi!” or your own message for a personalized finish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nPerfect for nurseries, kids’ rooms, and makers who love quirky modern quilts, First Contact balances simple shapes with tiny, satisfying details. The pattern includes a crib quilt layout plus a bonus double-sized jumbo alien block that finishes at 18\" x 18\", ideal for a quicker quilt, pillow cover, wall hanging, or playful coordinating project. Because the design relies on scraps for the Martians and 1 3\/4 yards of background fabric, it’s a wonderful way to spotlight bold little fabric cuts against a dramatic backdrop. With full-colour diagrams, cutting charts, and labels to help organize your pieces, this pattern makes a memorable project for intermediate quilters who are ready for a close encounter with creativity.","brand":"Apples \u0026 Beavers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52542867570975,"sku":"ABP106","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/8105\/7055\/files\/ABP106.jpg?v=1778778700","url":"https:\/\/www.sewingpartsonline.com\/products\/first-contact-quilt-pattern","provider":"Sewing Parts Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
