I actually have no idea all that I want to do in the new year, but I do know that I want to finish writing a Pac Man quilt pattern.

 

Hand Piecing: I want to finish this Tula Sunrise quilt; however, I’m not going to do the triangle border. I also did it in batiks because I hoard my Tula Pink fabric. 

After that I’m not sure.

For machine quilting: I do have an Elizabeth Hartman: Awesome Ocean, to finish. I haven’t finished it yet because I ran out of gray and had to wait until last summer so I could buy more while in the US.  I think I’d also like to do this Kinship Pattern and this Elizabeth Hartman: Rapid City.

For hand piecing I would like to begin working on Tula Nova. I have two small pieces done, but took a break to work on the Tula Sunrise with a friend. I want to hang this in my quilting room, so I am using my favorite Tula Pink fabrics. 

For knitting and crochet: I must finish at least 5 scarves and one blanket. I bought this yarn when in Leh, Ladakh. It is from Ganga.

 

I made this space invader quilt pattern early in my career and used fabric that I would never use if I tried it today. I didn’t realize you should only use cotton and couldn’t find bright neon cotton in Chennai, India, so I bought what I could find. It turned out to be a polyester type fabric that was difficult to sew with and sometimes looks wrinkled.

Even though I don’t like the fabric I used, I love the pattern.  If you are looking to make a quilt for someone who is nostalgic, simply loves the 80’s, or is difficult to shop for, this quilt pattern could be the ticket.

This pattern consists of four different blocks: the Squid, the Crab, the Octopus, and an Explosion block. Each block is made from 1 3/4″ x 1 3/4″ squares in order to make the more pixelated design in keeping with the original game.

Finished product- Throw Quilt 57 1/2″ x 48″
