Doctor Who Quilt Update #9

OK, so maybe I won't do a wide section with appliqued Gallifreyan images like I described in Update #8. I was having trouble visualizing and liking the design. Maybe, instead, I'll make another strip of squares-in-squares to match the strip of bowties on the left. Yeah, I think that's it.

I've already added a top strip to bring the bowtie count to eleven for the 11th Doctor, with two Gallifreyan images to complete the strip.


Top row added above the TARDIS.
 
Today, I finally printed the rest of the Gallifreyan text images. They're ready to be cut out (5-inch squares) and made into a strip.

Instead of the blue star fabric surrounding the bowties, the text images will be surrounded by solid red, the same color as the bowties themselves. I have twelve images right now, plenty to create a strip on the right as well as at the bottom. 
 
I had hoped to finish the quilt for the 50th Anniversary on November 23, 2013. But, on second thought, suppose there are images or short quotations from the anniversary episode or the Christmas special that I want to include? I realized yesterday that it might be best NOT to finish it off in time for the 50th!
