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!

Quilters, Nerds, Geeks, and Sewers: I need some help choosing. I cannot decide whether to go with blue or gold. What do you guys and gals think?
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!

I did it! I finished the second Black Mage for my Pop Art Final Fantasy Quilt! Hopefully, I’ll have the pattern up by later tonight for those who want to buy it from my Etsy shop! I’m so excited to pick out fabric for my next block! Keep an eye out for it!

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!

So, as some of my readers have noticed, I’ve been doing a lot of video game themed items this past week. Well, the truth is…. I’m working on a line of quilts and quilt designs called “Quilts of Nerd-dom”. So far… I have done a few Zelda Quilts, a Mario Themed Quilt, and a I’m working currently on a Final Fantasy Art Pop themed Quilt. My goal is that at the end of February to have at least 6 of these Nerd-dom themed quilt tops made, and the patterns available. That is the goal anyways. The thing that I need from my readers is… What should I do next? You tell me what you want!
Okay, fellow quilter, nerds, sewers, anyone at all: Is the background too busy with the patterned hat and cloak? I think it might be. It’s fine if it is, because I have a few more blocks to make. So I would still use it for another block that I would use less busy fabric in the actual character. What do you all think?
I started my next Black Mage and it looks awesome! I sold 2 quilts, so starting tomorrow I’m going to cut the fabric for them. I have an equality quilt, and then one that is Viking’s themed! I’m super excited! Anyhow, here is the beginning of the piecing for the next mage block.
I’ve officially finished sewing him together! I did pick out the colors for the other ones, but unfortunately, I cannot start the next right tonight. I have sold a quilt on Etsy and have to start work on that which is really exciting! It’s going to be an equality quilt and I’m looking forward to making it!
Quick Update: He’s coming together and he is looking fabulous! At first I thought the patterned blue was a bit much, but I really dig the way it ended up coming out! I love the texture of him! Once I finish sewing this block together, I can work on the next one. I should pick out some fabrics! Yay!
