This time I'm showing my Tetris quilt.
It was the first QAL that I've done (with Happy Quilting) and I had such a fun time making it! I also met several new friends while along the way. The border is made of the pieces that I used in the quilt, in order. Since they're not on the top or bottom I think it gives the quilt a downward feel, like Tetris.
The back is how my Tetris game would have played out if rows were deleted like an actual game of Tetris
I quilted a double echo around all of the Tetris pieces in matching thread, which had the wonderful effect of giving them a slightly 3D look. The grey border was left unquilted, and the outer boarder was quilted only on the black part with squares and rectangles.
The back shows the quilting a little better, although you might need to enlarge the picture.
And finally, here is the quilt trying to climb a tree. (Curious about why? Check out the original story.)

ReplyDeleteLove this! I nominated it as my favorite group quilt. You can see my entry here http://helpinglittlehands.blogspot.com/2012/10/bloggers-quilt-festival-entry-jigsaw.html
ReplyDeleteI had no idea there was a QAL for this. It's fabulous. I LOVE the little tetris pieces in the border.
ReplyDeleteI think, technically, the group or bee category means that more than one person worked on the quilt, but this one also fits in the ROYGBIV category.
Love seeing your Tetris quilt again. It was a fun QAL. You did such a great job with yours.
