Quilts for my boys for Christmas

I bought that outer space panel at a lqs and was really disappointed at how thin it was. I was worried it wouldn't hold up in a quilt. Did you do something special to prepare it for the quilt to give it some more substance somehow? My son was terribly disappointed when I told him that I wouldn't or shouldn't use it in a quilt and that I'd make a wall hanging from it.
Your quilts look fabulous too I might add!
And that train fabric is awesome!!! I would have been all over that if I had found it!

The train fabric was from a quilt shop in Pike Place Market in Seattle, bought in the summer of '09. My oldest son is very analytical, logical . . . thinks like an engineer. So the engine blueprints were perfect for him. His favorite color is yellow, thus the yellow border and binding.
I hope that over the years these quilts get used until they're worn out and falling apart. They're lap size, but since Christmas have taken up residence on the beds and their other bed quilts have been pushed aside. LOL.
You might want to give the space panel a try. I hope it works for you. It's a pretty cool piece of fabric and would make a fun wall-hanging too. Thanks also for the compliments on my quilts!
