Design wall Monday




I have 10 of the 12 blocks completed for the Super Mario Qal. I think it's looking like a quilt. There are 324 little 1.5 inch squares sewn to make each block. No wonder it is taking me a few hours each block! The latest block was the red mushroom.

I am so happy that my sewing machine is working well, all I needed to do was replace the needle and get some nice thread in it. I was frustrated because I was worried I broke it when I shattered two needles in it last week. Whew, I  was missing it. The old Singer Touch and sew is nice but... well it isn't the Husquavarna.

We have been getting ready for wrestling season for our Son. Senior pictures, ordered grad announcements and cap/gown all happened this past week.  I think now I can concentrate on Thanksgiving!

I have to commend anyone that is attempting this quilt. I read yesterday about all of the itty bitty squares required and have a new found respect for those who have made it. It looks great!

Love this quilt. Brings back so many fun memories playing Mario growing up. And I really love all those little squares, the smallest ones I have used in a quilt are 2.5 inches.

That looks like a lot of piecing! Yours looks really great.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting! Your quilt looks great so far. That's a lot of tiny squares to cut and piece ~ I'm very impressed :)
