I did it! I did it! I pieced the block together and I love it! I mean, I really really love it! I’m so excited to do the other three! I really want to finish them tonight, but I know I’m to tired to sew straight seems or cut fabric evenly, so I’ll retire to bed soon and dream of 8 bit inspiration!
Follow the jump for pictures of it’s piecing!
You know it’s funny. I new I wanted a blue fabric for the background and I new I didn’t have any extra and I drove past the fabric store on my way home from work. I knew I should stop, but I was too lazy, and the weather started getting rough. So I ended up using a blue I had already made plans for and now I hope Joann’s will have more of it! Finger’s Crossed!
I did it! I did it! Now, to start sewing them! Oh, well, I guess I still have to pick out a background fabric. Maybe purple or blue? Not sure. Depends on what I have in my stash to be honest with you! Yeah, probably purple. I have a lot of it left over from my last project. I’m so excited to start sewing them! First though, I have to go and cook something for dinner. Maybe Italian bread pizza? I have a fresh loaf of Italian bread, and some Italian sausage! Hopefully I have cheese and pizza sauce! Wish me luck!

I did it! One more block is cut, and I have one more to do! Wish me luck! Next is my goomba trooper. He’s going to be a lot of fun! I hope everyone likes him! I don;t know why I didn;t do 8-bit blocks sooner! They are so much fun! And very quick and easy!
I figured since I already did Mario, I should everyone my Fire Flower! I just laid out the pieces. I’m cutting all of the fabric for these blocks, and then tomorrow I will sew them. I’m too lazy to sew them tonight! Next is a 1Up Mushroom! Then I’m not sure, but all I need is one more block for this throw quilt.
So I’ve decided that I did not want to start my next art quilt, and I just wanted to do a funa nd quick project that would only take a day or two, and this is it! I’m doing a quilt with 8 bit character’s from Mario Bros. Haha! I’m so excited that I am getting my nerd on. Do not worry though, by Monday I will have started my next art quilt! Enjoy this teaser for now!
It’s done! It’s done! It is officially done and I love it! I cannot wait until I snuggle up under this thing tonight! I’m so excited to cuddle under this and perhaps watch some Masterpiece Theater. It has a flannel backing, and then a 100% cotton batting. It’s going to be so warm1 I’m so excited!

Still working on a name, but I can tell everyone that currently I am designing a set of quilts to be ready for the new year. They are going to be nerd themed, and so far on the docket we have:
