Quiltris!
I've been working on my latest geeky project for months now, and I'm proud to say that I finally finished the top this evening. Ladies and gentlement, I present: Quiltris!



Yes, the photo was taken in the bathroom, since the only way I could hold it up was to safety-pin it to the shower curtain rod. (No, it won't be staying in the bathroom, that was just a convenient place to hang it for a photo!) Not sure how the lens got smudged, though!


The whole thing is probably a little bit small- 50" x 70"- so I'll probably add another set of borders to make it twin size (60" x 80" or so), but I'm in no rush. I've been working a lot on it lately, and I think it's time to take a break and maybe plan a new project! I can easily add borders and start the machine quilting in a week or so; I think that for now, my quilting jones is totally satisfied... not to mention the fact that I'm dancing around like a lunatic because I actually managed to pull this off :-p

EDIT: No, I'm not a bad Tetris player... I actually had to stop myself after playing for an hour, because playing *well* didn't end up with any interesting color patterns. Once I started to suck, though, things looked better, mostly because random colored blocks look better than lots of black space ;)

That is awesome! Excellent job of getting the shading and highlights correct. It totally conveys a tetris game!

Nice work! Your attention to detail is admirable... you even created a shadow on the bottoms and left of the blocks!

As a bona-fide Tetris fan, I must say, "I want it."

Oh, also -- someone needs to change the TP roll.

That quilt came out great!!!

And I never even though about using the shower curtain to take a picture. What a good idea.

i've seen a few tetris quilts around the internet, but this one kicks all of their asses to the MOON. i'm so impressed with the dimension you managed to give all of the blocks! awesome, awesome work.

Oh man ... I bet you don't want to hear that there's a row that has blocks all the way across, and thus should have been cleared in the real game...




I'm totally pulling your leg - I hope I didn't give you a heart attack ;)

That's awesomely cool! You did a FABULOUS job! Thanks for sharing it.

And sorry again - I couldn't resist ;) I'm just trusting that you have a sense of humor ;)

Wow, that's incredibly awesome. Ooh, ooh, I can see the next move! Though I'd probably die at that point, I suck at Tetris. XD
