Tetris Quilt - Completed

ITS DONE!!! Granted there are still chalk lines, but its done!!!!




It only took me two years. I had to do alot of hand sewing in the blocks....and piecing together the black strips was....painful.



Im just glad it looks so good! This is my first queen sized quilt. My bed is a queen size, and it covers the top of the bed nicely.

This is a gift for my dad. He knew I was making it. It just took longer than I expected

Machine and hand sewn.

A*** This is amazing! Totally worth the effort.

I want one!

Oh my, that's definitly worth the wait! It's gorgeous!

I can tell ya sortof how I made one if you wanna try it for yourself....


Each square of the pieces are 6.5 inches in size, to make a final size of 6 inches each. I used bias tape on the sides of all the squares as the border. Got a LOT of fabric (dont remember how much) for the background. Used a bedsheet for the backing and some quilt batting for sandwiching it all together.

I used a combination of rayon and polyester thread to assemble and quilt the whole thing.

I played a game of tetris online. Screenshotted it, after deliberately making mistakes, used ms paint to make rows to make it easier to sew them all together in order.

Once everything was sewn and quilted in order, then I made a double folded quilt binding out of the funky blocky fabric you see on the edges, and sewed it all up.
