Hey y'all look, a Tetris quilt! (Also, a blog called QuilterGeek? How did I miss this one up til now?)

Beautimus excellencis. It really looks like Tetris. I'm so jealous of your use of variegated thread... I meant to try it, but chickened out. Worried about getting it snarled with all the adjustments it seemed the machine wanted. Isn't freehand stitching fun? I didn't have the white, grippy gloves that some suggest, so horsing around a huge quilt wasn't the easiest thing. I'm going to buy those gloves now that this reminds me.

The border is catchy and nice.

Is this for you or a gift for someone else? Nah, who would deserve it... :)

Oh no, I didn't make this one! Sorry if I gave that impression. I wish I *had* made it, it's really cool. I just always put pictures of things like that over here because this crowd always seems to enjoy them. But anyway, yeah, I do like quilting freehand, a lot. It's one of my favorite parts of the process. (I need to finish putting together the current one so I can do that!) I just started using variegated thread fairly recently, but I really haven't had any problems with it. I've used it on my last several quilts.

(And I haven't gotten around to trying gloves yet, either. I keep meaning to.)

I misread the entry! Yikes! Well, go make one, then :)

Is it wrong that my first thought upon seeing this was "Wow, what a crappy Tetris player"? Real bad board fill, there.

(Uh, but it *is* a gorgeous quilt!)

If you had to move around yards of fabric as the tiles were falling, your results might be similar.

The 3D effect on the pieces was awesome.
