Tetris Quilt
It's finally finished, after six months of off-and-on piecing and a year and a half sitting in the closet, waiting for the sandwich to be finished:
"Quiltris," in a "Tetris DS/ Tetris Worlds" color scheme.
I'm really happy with the way this turned out. It's far from perfect, but the overall effect is really great, especially with the 3-d shading.
I'm still practicing my machine quilting, but I really like this freehand design. I approached it like a curvy meander, but turned 90-degree angles instead. I was a bit wary of using the variegated thread, since any wonky quilting would show up very clearly on the back fabric, but I really like the way it turned out.
Since the quilt's gotten such a positive response, I'll probably be putting together an instruction sheet in the near future. While I doubt I'd be able to actually publish it, I'd like to share with other geek quilters out there!
