Wow…that first one is just phenomenal…I need to recalibrate my geekometer after seeing that. ---

Wow. That crafter achieved _terminal geekosity._ A great idea, but the most butt-ugly quilt I’ve ever seen. ---

That’s pretty awesomely geeky stuff. I kinda want a Tetris quilt, but I worry that it would keep me up all night playing imaginary Tetris. 🙂 Of course, no thread on geeky crafts could possibly be complete without a mention of the [Knitted Princess Leia Wig](http://bleuarts.blogspot.com/2006/09/knit-pattern-leia-hat.html). ---

Those are fantastic! But the Tetris one is right, if you consider that those are the remains of complete blocks that were used to finish a line. She even left at least one black square in every line. It looks like a game a n00b would play, but at least it’s a possible game. ---

Luckily you said that before I put together a quilt with whole pieces that fit togther perfectly–which of course would be lines that would disappear. I guess a quilt of an expert player’s game would be pretty boring. :smack: ---

She even left at least one black square in every line. It looks like a game a n00b would play, but at least it’s a possible game. That occurred to me, and immediately bugged me. I couldn’t have that quilt on my bed, I’d be worried about losing the game any moment now! But it would have bugged me more if the quilt were wrong. ---
