LSU Pixel Quilt

This one was super fun to make! We have some friends who are HUGE LSU fans, and dog-gonnit, they needed an LSU quilt. So I set to work using the LSU tiger eye. I took the image over to a free online cross stitch generator. This is the image it generated:

I took this and drew out a grid so I could calculate out my strips. I used 1-1/2 inch cut strips in 3 different purple batiks, 2 yellow batiks and one white batik. All the batiks were purchased in Indonesia. Once I had the tiger eye complete, I added strips to the top and bottom to frame out the quilt and add length. Here’s the finished quilt.

To get the illusion of a 1 inch by 1 inch grid, I quilted in the ditch vertically and horizontally. This makes the quilt appear to be individual squares, but it is actually strips. Here’s a close-up of that beautiful tiger eye.

Here you can see how the stitches really create the grid effect.

I also wanted the grid to really come through on the back of the quilt. I used a flat black backing and light grey thread. The grid really pops.

The batiks here in Indonesia are absolutely stunning! I’ve managed to collect quite a stash over the last two years. Hand finished binding was a must.

  1. Absolutely beautiful work, Liz. You certainly got the “creative” gene from Grandma Pluto!
    She IS smiling on you from up above for sure!
    Love ya’ll!

  2. That quilt is truly stunning! That is an amazing gift. My MIL quilts, I wonder if I could convince her to make me one. 🙂

  3. I couldn’t get my MIL to make me a quilt, so I ended up painting it on a canvas. I was going to post the photo, but didn’t see where I could do that. Thanks for the inspiration!

  4. Thanks for giving your ideas. The first thing is that pupils have an alternative between federal government student loan and a private education loan where it can be easier to select student loan debt consolidation reduction than with the federal education loan.

  5. Good day! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this article to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Many thanks for sharing!

  6. One more thing I would like to talk about is that as opposed to trying to fit all your online degree classes on days of the week that you end work (because most people are exhausted when they return), try to have most of your classes on the saturdays and sundays and only 1 or 2 courses in weekdays, even if it means a little time off your saturdays. This is beneficial because on the week-ends, you will be a lot more rested along with concentrated with school work. Thanks a bunch for the different recommendations I have learned from your web site.

  7. Hey there! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this page to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!

  8. I’ve learned newer and more effective things through your blog post. Also a thing to I have seen is that in many instances, FSBO sellers are going to reject you actually. Remember, they would prefer to never use your providers. But if a person maintain a steady, professional partnership, offering aid and being in contact for about four to five weeks, you will usually have the capacity to win a meeting. From there, a listing follows. Many thanks

  9. Thanks for the concepts you are giving on this blog site. Another thing I’d really like to say is that getting hold of some copies of your credit history in order to examine accuracy of any detail is one first motion you have to carry out in fixing credit. You are looking to thoroughly clean your credit profile from destructive details errors that ruin your credit score.

  11. I’m really loving the theme/design of your website. Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility issues? A handful of my blog readers have complained about my blog not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera. Do you have any ideas to help fix this issue?

  12. My brother advised I might such as this blog. He was the moment entirely correct. This put up really produced my day. You could not envision only how a lot time I’d invested for this info! Thanks!

  13. Amazing! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a completelydifferent subject but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Outstanding choice of colors!

  14. Thanks for ones marvelous posting! I really enjoyed reading it, you are a great author.I will be sure to bookmark your blog and will often come back someday.I want to encourage one to continue your great job, have a nice evening!

  15. After I initially commented I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there a way you can remove me from that service? Cheers!

  16. I was just searching for this information for a while. After six hours of continuous Googleing, at last I got it in your site. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that don’t rank this type of informative websites in top of the list. Normally the top sites are full of garbage.
