Mario Mini Quilt

I had so much fun with the goomba mini quilt that I decided to make a Mario one. The finished piece is about 10" square. This was much more complicated because unlike the goomba, mario is not symmetrical and as you can see below, there are more tiny pieces to deal with. I also did not do as good of a job of counting and cutting and I had to cut new pieces and alter some of the strips while I was making it. Oh well, I think it was definitely worth the effort.

Oh no! Mario fought a paper shredder and lost, wah-wah.

Goomba Mini Quilt/Trivet

I have been having a lot of fun making mini-quilts lately. If I ever keep one, I will use it as a trivet to put hot stuff on. For a geek craft swap that I am hosting, I thought an 8 bit mini-quilt would be awesome. I went with a goomba because I had this fun goomba orange spiral print that seemed perfect.


Here is what a bunch of goomba pieces look like...

This is what a goomba would look like if a bob-omb exploded it to bits.

This is a freakishly tall goomba.

And finally, here is the finished goomba mini-quilt hanging on the finger hook. I am really happy with how it turned out and kind of sad to send it away although I think my swap partner will be pleased.

Quilt Top finally done

After working on this for the last three years, the quilt-top to my epic (gonna pass it down to my grandchildren) quilt is done. It is 7' by 8', all pieced together using cotton fabric scraps and my trustee sewing machine. Now I just need to quilt it all together which I am doing by hand and which will probably take me another three years.
