I Made 3 Pixel Art Quilts with Amazing Results.

link: www.merrymabelmarket.com/quil...
We have several ways that you can turn pixel art into quilts. Our new patterns were made after we commissioned work from a pixel artist. (For full disclosure - he is a "good guy" relative.) It was fun to realize that if we wanted a specific pattern we could tell him what we wanted and he would make us a piece of pixel art. (Art using only squares.) We then spent some fun hours making that art into a quilt pattern to make beautiful Pixel Art Quilts. (3 of them!)
In the video, we demonstrate putting one of them together with the steps we took. We also show the other two quilts that we commissioned. They are all patterns for sale on our website.
We also tell you how to create your own pixel art so that you can make up your own patterns if you want to. It's such a fun, creative way to play with fabric, color, and design.
If you want to contact "Artindi" to order a pixel art piece you can contact him at this email: artindigames@gmail.com

    I love these!! So so cute! The jellyfish is my favorite. Years ago my granddaughter was learning how to stay in the lines when she colored and learning numbers. I had found coloring books at the Dollar General that were pixelated just like your patterns. I kept the books because I thought they might come in handy someday. I had always thought that it might be able to make a quilt. So glad I kept them!!

    This is just the cutest EVER! Thanks so much for sharing and for showing some unconventional methods for quick and easy joining of those long rows of tiny blocks. My favorite thing is that you emphasize that the seam doesn't have to be anything BUT consistent - too many speak to only ONE way of doing things and that stifles creativity and engagement.

    Good afternoon flower, I LOVE Toby Turtle, he is so beautiful done in the colours you have, against the sea. Sorry Oscar the Orca, you are lovely to,, as well as Jenny Jellyfish in her beautiful colours. THank you to your wonderful friend and his creativity in colouring Toby, Oscar and Jenny, they worked out stunningly. Making them a tiny bit bigger, would that make them baby cot bed size? It would definitely make them originals. THank you flower for sharing your wonderful creations with us, sending crafty hugs from Norah, Glenochil, Scotland

    Pixel art always looks best smaller. But on our patterns, I did add the information for how big the quilts will be if you use 2.5 inch squares instead of 2 inch squares.
