Sweet Dreams Kirby Quilt - Desert Bus 2023

I wanted to mix it up from my usual FPP (foundational paper piecing) shenanigans, so I went off into the land of pixel quilting. But, I still had to have a little madness in it, so instead of small and detailed I went big and pink!!

This quilt is 100 x 105 inches, so slightly over a king sizeish and was made from about 10 200 1 inch squares. It would've been a nice even 10 000, but I accidently miscounted my columns in google sheets and added 2 extra ones to the far right side. Oops. But yeah, I filled cells in google sheets to make the design, often while waiting for simulations at work (don't tell my bosses) and then I matched the colours to my trusty kona colour card and we ended up here! It has something like 13 different shades of pink, which is great, because I love pink and I love Kirby.

I had to get this bad boy long armed too, as there was no way I was going to be able to get this through my domestic at home. It was the right choice the pale pink thread and quilting motifs are just so perfect.

Parting with this quilt was SO hard, I really loved it, but I hope this quilt is well loved in their new home too.

I finished the quilt I’m gifting to my daughter. She is having her first baby., I have not washed this yet. It still has chaulk lines. I am pleased how this turned out.
