Now however, because of some strange surfing I found inspiration. Well actually I would not call it that so much but something I want to do. A template of sorts only I am going to take it to the next level. Not only am I going to make a Donkey Kong Quilt but I am gonna move on up and make a pac-man quilt too!

It looks to me like I could do the Donkey Kong quilt on graph paper and each square will represent a square of quilt as a guide. I am not really good at this but it seemed a good first try because it is not only something that interests me but it is all patchwork, sewing together squares and I do nto think I am at all ready for anything fancier than that.

 

If I succeed in the donkey Kong I will move on to my own pac-man quilt and then I think I will make a Tetris one for my mother. So mom if you are not reading this like you are supposed to! Oops! Shame on you! You will get to think until Christmas I forgot about you!nt to make one for each person in my family including my mother in law who is much forgotten living all the way up there in Pennsylvania! I only wish they visited more!

I will post pictures when this venture gets closer to completion. For now is is just my plan for those hot summer months! (I guess living in GA I should have picked ice sculpture!)
