Mirroring Suzy Bee Sews - Life So Strange It Should Be Fiction

A quick catchup on the Mario quilt - 9 blocks down, 4 to go! I'm really pushing to get this done at the moment as it's meant to be one of my Son's christmas presents! Still not sure on how I'm going to quilt it, I'm thinking about stitching in the ditch around each character and then free motion quilting the aqua background - Anyone have any ideas?

All finished! The details; All material is Prima quilting cotton from Spotlight and the wadding is low loft Bamboo also from Spotlight. The blocks are from Cut to Pieces Mario quilt-along and I constructed them using a thin interfacing method from here . Quilting is an allover loopy free motion stitch using a light grey cotton thread. I found it pretty painstaking, cutting the interfacing apart so I could iron the seams open and flat took forever! But I am really happy with how it looks and I have all the materials to make another one for me.....maybe next year sometime! Its an early Christmas present for my son who is a huge Mario fan (gets it from me, I still have the original Super Nintendo and games from the 1990's and the only computer game I play now is the Mario galaxy games :)

I did a big push this week to get all the blocks done, just have to add sashing and the front it completed. Its going to end up a big quilt, about 2mx2m finished! A lot bigger than I thought when I started.
