I feel like doing a victory dance today---I finished the Tetris quilt just in time for my last guild meeting, but I've been waiting to post a picture of the finished quilt until after I gave it to Katie's boyfriend, Ryan. Well, he came down yesterday to get her after her week home, and he finally got his quilt. his reaction was all I could have hoped for---he really liked the quilt a lot. In fact, he raved over it. That's a good feeling when giving any quilt, but if you followed along with me, you know that this quilt turned out to be quite a challenge. I learned so much from making this quilt---quilt making skills, but other things too. I persisted in spite of pretty significant setbacks, and that's a really good feeling. I came closer to getting the result I wanted in the finished quilt than I ever have before. It was worth all the trouble, and I'm glad I started over and kept going instead of giving up.

I know I've said this before, but I love the depth and dimension in this quilt! It just draws me back to it over and over. It just sparkles. Great job picking fabric shades to give it that extra wow factor. So glad he liked it!
ReplyDeleteThank you,Jan--I do love this quilt...more now that it's finished. ;) The more I work with solids, the more I like them.
DeleteHi Joana, I LOVE this quilt. I work for The Tetris Company. Can I share this on our official Tetris Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Tetris? I think you'll be amazed at all the reaction you'll get.
ReplyDeleteWe'll give proper credit to you. Hope to hear from you!
Of course! I would be so excited to share it. The original idea for how to make the quilt came from Quiltergeek. Thank you!
DeleteHi Joana,
ReplyDeleteI can't find a way to contact you - can you email me at asewingjournal@gmail.com? I would like to ask permission to use one of your photos.
Thank you :)
