so pleased

i finished up my robot quilt today. i just love how he turned out.

the quilting made such a hugh difference and burying all those strings was not painful at all. it did take a couple of hours but i could do it while watching tv. thanks again kathy for the tip. if i ever make a robot like this again i will probably do a bit more quilting on the robot itself. but i do love him as he is.

here is close up of the head and some of the quilting.

here is the back. i love how you can see the robot in the quilting.

7 - I just stumbled across you blog (I can't remember how) and am very inspired!

I love this robot quilt. Did you applique the finished robot onto the background, or piece him into it?

Thanks-

8 - ginger,
the robot was pieced together, it wasn't to painful, really. i sketched him out on graph paper giving me an approx size for each piece, then got started piecing him together one bodypart at a time. my goal was to have him a bit wonky and scrappy so i didn't need to do to much measuring or fuss with it too much.
