The Ghibli Quilt

[spikesgirl58]

It's nearly finished. I just have to put the squares together, which will probably be after Halloween, considering the weekend we are facing.

Here are all the loose squares in more or less their final spots. Always starting at the top left corner

The susuwatari patch is my fave! I also just love yellow. ^-^

Amazing work as always. :)

Thanks! These are actually an earlier version of them without arms and legs from My Neighbor Totoro. I didn't want to have to fiddle with making the arms and legs. I'm lazy. :P

I like them how they are! ^-^

[spikesgirl58]

Me, too. It was much easier stitching them this way.

It's a work of art! Seriously, a very fun work of art!
I'm chuckling about the Dust Sprites.
:D

Thanks! I'm looking forward to seeing it finished.

They are responsible for running all over the place and leaving dust behind. :P

That looks like a fun quilt.

I encounter many dust sprites in my house. :)

Thanks! Yes, I, too, have many, many dust sprites! :DD

oh my god that's amazing. How much do handmade quilts go for (asking as a fellow crafter and as a consumer) :)?

[spikesgirl58]

Thanks! Best of all, they are all my own designs.

I've never sold any, so I'm the wrong person to ask. The really top-quality ones go for thousands, though.

That's SO cool. Well, if you ever DID decide to take commissions, I would pay appropriately for cost of materials and labor, because I would LOVE something like this in my life ^_^

Thanks! I wouldn't even begin to know what to charge. I just play with stuff.
