All The Blocks are Done For My Mario Quilt!

Here is the last one! The Goomba is all ready and marching on! Now to piece them all together and then make the pillow sham that matches! Hopefully I’ll finish everything by tomorrow, so it can be mailed out on Monday!

Follow the jump for pictures of all of the completed blocks! Continue reading

Starting The Goomba!

It’s all cut and ready to get sewed. First, I think I’ll eat lunch! Then onto the sewing! I just love this brown fabric! It’s just one of my favorites, and I think it adds so much texture! What do you guys think?

3 Blocks Down… 3 To Go… Oh, And A Pillow Sham

Well, three blocks down, and three to go, and a pillow sham! I’m so excited! I was thinking about putting up pillow shams on Etsy. What do you guys and gals think? I mean, they are easier than a quilt, and I could move more of them. Just something to keep on the back burner I guess.

One Mushroom Down, One To Go!

The Green 1-up Mushroom is finished! Between it and the fireflower, I am one third of the way done on these blocks! You know, I’ve always wanted a 1-up tattoo on my shoulder blade. Perhaps that is where my next Mario Quilt commission money will go to! Well, time for me to get to work on the Red Mushroom! Wish me luck!

Blooming Bias Quilt… Out Of The Washer

Well, I quilted it, and just took it out of the washer! I’m in love with it! I really am! In fact, I already drove to work to hang it up! I love the way the bias came out! I did a double stitch over it because I was worried about it falling off, but it looks pretty secure!  I guess we’ll see after I wash it a couple of times!
