Tumbling Blocks

This one is for all you quilters out there. You may recognize the title, as “tumbling blocks” is a standard quilting pattern.

For those of you not in the quilting world, here is the tumbling blocks pattern:

For those of us who grew up playing video games in the ’80s, that pattern evokes memories quite different from quilts.

Behold, Qbert!

I was going to propose that Q*bert would be a good quilt to make, but then I decided to make sure it wasn’t already on the internet.

Of course, it was already on the internet. Go visit the Quiltbert site to see an actual example of a Qbert quilt.

So there went my idea for a blog post.

See that you make them by the pattern for them, which was shown to you on the mountain.
