Virtual Quilt

ZenGum • Dec 8, 2008 11:52 pm
Inspired by Monster's Cellar Quilt idea, I suggest that we also do a virtual quilt.

Contributors produce a standard sized digital image, maybe using MS paint or some similar standard format. Say, 400x400 pixels or something.
It could be fun to make quasi-heraldric references to your user title: Undertoad could have a giant toad of course, Sundae Girl could have a cherry, etc.
The could be based on photos or purely virtual.

There are lots of technical details to determine: size, shape, format, borders, whether any themes are appropriate, etc etc. We can argue about these.

Any thoughts?

And you could have a big crow, while I enjoy another bent banana. Ducks can have a sombrero or something to signify her mexican status. :)

Are you going to do the putting together etc?

Straight for the hard question, Eh, mate?
I guess I could, not that I've ever done such a thing before. I should have spare time in January which would give folks plenty of time to come up with their squares.

Sounds fun. I could get much more elaborate on a virtual block ...

Oh crud. Here I go having ideas ... consider the possibilities of getting the virtual blocks printed on fabric squares and make them into the quilt?

Get the whole thing done as a single image, then get them made up as t-shirts on cafepress. Or coffeemugs, etc.

UT and LJ already have zazzle.com accounts set up for such things ...

Good to go, then.

I'll give this a go (if'n someone'll tell me how'n'all).
Pie • Dec 9, 2008 4:11 pm
So, everyone post your 400x400 pixel virtual squares here!

Pie, is that pie plate available from a commercial source? I think I need one of those.

I didn't read the thread very well, and it seems like the squares are supposed to represent you or something....so here's another one:
Pie • Dec 11, 2008 12:51 pm
Nice! ;)
I will replace your last one.
