8-bit Mario Quilt

8-bt Mario Quilt

8-bt Mario Quilt
Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Functional

For: Unisex

Style: Cute, Retro / Vintage, Whimsical


Materials

Cotton fabric

What was your inspiration?

video games from my childhood.

What are you most proud of?

color choice of the background. I didn't want it to be all one fabric so I found a few different fabrics in the same colorway.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

find a character or scene you want to quilt, plan it all out carefully and by rows (for me it was easier to sew it all together in rows) and take your time.

There really isn't a pattern for the quilt. I drew out the character on an 18x28 block grid. After you draw out the character you can make the squares as large as you would like. I made mine 2.5 inches. I made an earlier one where the blocks were 3.5 inches.

I don't actually have a pattern. I just looked up a sprite sheet for the Mario character and than drew it out onto graph paper app on my iPad.
