Sunday Quilt Inspiration: S P A C E

Watch out for the aliens! This week's inspiration: space. Especially those fun 1970s and '80s science book pictures. Wouldn't they make perfect fabric? I'd have so much fun designing a science/space themed fabric line with these pics as inspiration. And the quilt! Hold on, they are coming!
Cover from “Stars” a Golden Nature guide 1951:

Space Alphabet:

All About the Stars by Anne Terry White, illustrated by Marvin Bileck (1954).:

From the Earth to the Moon (1958):

Science Fiction 1970's:

The Walt Disney Story of Our Friend the Atom:

Here they are! As promised. Are they some pretty amazing quilts. Imagine these in a room for a little boy. And a few of them would make great sofa quilts for a big boy scientist. 

Sampaguita Quilts: Solar System / Space quilt If I ever actually learn how to quilt/embroider:

Space quilt I made for little Nic:

glaxy with 2 1/2 inch strips and many stars Sampaguita Quilts:

How awesome does this look!! Solar System Quilt - looks a little tricky but not as time-consuming as hundreds of tiny pieces - sew planets and stars onto the blue base, then quilt in circles/a spiral. Pinned for Kidfolio, the parenting mobile app that makes sharing a snap.:

Deep Space Baby Quilt | The Land of Nod | "Pluto (not a planet, but still our friend)":

Similar, but not quite it. less "stars", more planets, less noticeable background (maybe embroider some stars with shimmery silver thread?):
