I bought the Pixel Skull pattern by Simpson Designs Studio last year and finally have it done!
The pattern recommends a black skull on a white background, but I am all about color. I decided a hot pink skull on a yellow background would be my favorite combination. I used up some of my scraps and bought some material to fill in what I needed.
Cutting the material for this took me several hours each day for a few days. After having it cut I had other projects to get back to, so had it set aside for a some months.
I pieced it into blocks, the blocks then into strips horizontally. This way if I was off a little I could center the design and the shape of the skull would hide it. I was really happy with myself because I wasn’t off on it and it lined up well!
Here the top is done. I skipped the border the pattern calls for and opted to keep it patchworked to the binding.
I hand quilt and have been binding my quilts before I finish them. The hand tension doesn’t warp them and the binding keeps the edges nice and avoids it fraying a bunch.
Finished!
