I finished making the quiltop this weekend. I will start handquilting in a few days. 
This Star Trek–inspired baby quilt top is a modern, graphic celebration of exploration and imagination. Framed by a wide black border, the design features a bold grid of colorful geometric blocks in yellow, teal, turquoise, light blue, blush pink, and charcoal gray. Black sashing between the blocks creates strong contrast and gives the quilt a clean, structured, mid-century modern feel.
At the center of the quilt is a white panel showcasing a black appliquéd silhouette of the USS Enterprise. The simple, iconic shape stands out clearly against the surrounding colors, making it instantly recognizable to Star Trek fans while remaining visually engaging for a child’s space. The layout evokes illuminated panels or windows, subtly echoing a space-age aesthetic.
Designed as a baby quilt that can grow with its recipient, this quilt top blends fandom with timeless modern quilting. It is intended to be lovingly finished as a hand-quilted keepsake—offering warmth, comfort, and a sense of wonder for a new little explorer.
