I am almost halfway done with the top! I did a lot of the piecing before, so I only really have to sew in the new squares and the sew the strips together! Never buying from an Ebay buyer again. From now on I am sticking to very reputable online fabric shops. Ugh!
I just got my fabric! So excited to pump out this quilt later tonight! Then I have a job interview tomorrow! Wish me luck!!!
I did it! I finished the quilt! I’m just in love with it! Too bad I’m not going to keep it, otherwise I would already be snuggling up to it. I decided to give it to someone who sort of got me into arts and crafts as a kid. I really hope she likes it! I’m so glad I went with the blue thread. It looks like tiny ice crystals all over the quilt. I didn’t do a very tight stipple because I didn’t want the blue to override the black fabric and make the red look purple. I’m happy with he way it turned out! I just hope she likes it! And don;t forget! You can make this quilt too! The pattern for both the Throw Size and the Queen Size are in my Etsy Shop!

Okay, so I chose blue thread. People kept telling me to go with grey, but I really wanted some blue! I’m so glad I chose blue! It looks like little bits of ice are scatted through the quilt with the stitching! I just adore it! Cannot wait to finish and put on the binding! This top was made about 6 months ago and just now being quilted. I feel so far behind! Haha! One of these days I’ll catch up to myself!
Since the weather has delayed my fabric shipment, I think I’ll quilt this later tonight. I was just going to stipple it, but I’m not completely set on a color of thread yet. Should I do Grey, Red, or Blue? I’m leaning towards blue, but we’ll see once I start! Wish me luck!

I’ve decided to throw my Tumblr into the mix! For better odds for winning a quilt, You can follow me on Tumblr!
I did it! I quilted and bound it! I ended up using a stipple, and before nerds attack me for it, let me explain why. A lot of people told me to stitch in the ditch to keep the blockiness of it, but I did the stipple because I think when they first made the character for the video game, they didn’t intend for him to look pixelated. They wanted him to look like something that was curved and didn’t have corners, so love it or hate it, that was my logic. I love the way it turned out. I ended up using a bright blue tonal binding because I thought it really framed it and brought out the colors from the inside. Anyone have any constructive criticism? I also just uploaded it to my Etsy Shop! (Click Here)

Since I have to wait until tomorrow for my fabric shipment, I have decided to pin this quilt tonight, and start the quilting! Hopefully I’ll finish it in the next few hours and have pics posted in the morning. I’m just stitching in the ditch on it to accent the blockiness of the 8-bit, but I kind of still want to stipple to round the edges a bit. I’m not sure. Haha. I guess I’ll figure it out soon though! Wish me luck!
Since the mail was halted because of the snow, I’m stuck starting another sewing project instead of doing the Viking’s Quilt. So while I’m going through my fabric looking for something to jump out at me, you guys can listen to what I am listening to.
