Final Fantasy Quilt: Three Down, One To Go

After a long day of sewing, and possibly a nap, I have finished the third black mage. this time he is wearing a gold robe and a pink hat. I think it cntrasts nicely with the other two blocks I have done. Now I’m already picking out fabric for last block of this quilt. I’m thinking something red!

Final Fantasy Quilt: Next Block Cut

Since I finished the last block, I’ve been pretty motivated to keep going, so I started the next block. I already had the background left over from the last block I did where I switched the background to green to balance it out more. I went with a purple and blue batik for the cape, and then some or orange tonal and a yellow/green/pink batik for the hat. I decided to do green eyes and hand vs orange, because I did orange for the hat. I think he looks cute! Only one more block after this!

Final Fantasy Quilt: Black Mage Number 2

Since I finished getting all of the pieces cut for that Vikings’ Quilt and I am now just waiting on fabric, I have moved onto another project. It is my Black Mage Pop Art piece. I redid the background on this one, and I’m piecing it now! I love the way he looks! After this one, I still have either 2 or 4 more to go, and I cannot wait to see the way it looks when it all comes together!

Vikings Quilt: First Blocks Are Done

I just finished the first blocks of the quilt, and I’m glad I added the tonal fabric to just kind of mix things up. I have 72 blocks to make, so I’m 3 down and 69 to go. I’m still waiting on a second Viking’s themed fabric to help mix things up. It has the actual Viking’s head instead of the helmet. I feel so Minnesotan right now!

Vikings Quilt: It Has Begun!

So, everyone knows I’m a big bright shiny star, and now that I have finished one quilt today, I have to start the next one! It’s going to be a Minnesota Viking’s themed quilt and it makes me feel like I am back in Minnesota! I cannot wait to start cutting tonight! If you want one yourself, here is the listing for a Throw Size on Etsy!
