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)

I did it! I did it! This was a perfect filler project while I’m waiting on the Viking’s Fabric I ordered. It should hopefully be here by Tuesday, so then I can finish that quilt top and quilt it. I might end up quilting this one tomorrow, but I do have to go to work, so it just depends on how late I work, and how tired I am. I’m still waiting to hear back on a new job that would be more of a set schedule which would be very nice, but it would be more of a time commitment. So, more money means more fabric! Yay! A little less quilting, but hey, I’ll take what I can get. I am really excited. Since the Pattern is up on Etsy, I think I might put this up there too. We’ll see. Someone seams to be mildly interested in buying it, so we’ll just have to wait and see.

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!

Final Fantasy Quilt: Emergency! I Need Advice!

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?

Final Fantasy Quilt: Picked Out A Background

I picked out a background for my first quilt block. I’m going to do 2 blocks by either 2 or 3 blocks. So I’m making either 4 or 6 of these fellahs. I’m really excited, but they are a little more work than the Mario ones, but I think I’ve got it down now with the measurements! So wish me luck!

Final Fantasy Quilt: The Mage Is Cut!

Here he is! He looks so cute! I cannot wait to put him together! The only thing is…. I need a background and to decide on what I’m doing with the rest of the quilt. I kind of want to do a Pop-Art kind of thing, and have the made in different color outfits, so purple instead of blue, and the hat to be shades of orange… or do I want to do other final fantasy characters? I’m not sure… what do you think?

My Next Project: New 8 Bit Quilt Started!

So, instead of working on my next art quilt, I decided to do another 8 bit fun quilt. It should only take me a couple of days, and it’s nice that I get instant results from making it. Sometime if a quilt takes too long I lose interest! Anyhoo! Can anyone guess what this is going to be?

Hurried Up And Finished This Today!

So… if you all recall I did the Sandstorm Quilt for Quilts of Valor. I sent it off to a longarmer I know, but she recently sent it back to me because she has had some health problems and just couldn’t do it. So I got it back, and I was going to send it to another longarmer, but after paying for shipping once I just decided to stipple it myself. So here it is. I’m giving it to the person receiving it tomorrow! I’m so happy to have finished it!
