This was my third Mario so there was no difficulty with the pattern.

I followed my Craftsy lesson and pixelated my own Happy Face photo and then created the grid. The method they teach uses strips of the various colours that are stitched together and then cut into the smaller squares. I like the technique as it gives the piece the pixelated look without as much quilting.

These were gifts for Dylan and Taylor, but they haven’t decided if they will hang on the wall or be used as table toppers.
