pac-man quilt is driving me crazy

Diese retro Arcadesteppdecke läßt mich ganz warmes und flockiges Innere glauben. Der Throw kennzeichnet die Pixel-y Gleichheiten des Pac-Mannes, des Ms Pac-Pac-Man und der aller ihre gespenstischen Kumpel (zusammen mit einigen köstlichen 8-bit Kirschen).


This retro arcade quilt makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. The throw features the pixel-y likenesses of Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man and all of their ghostly pals (along with some delicious 8-bit cherries).

Pac-Man Quilt by s0choice

Posted by s0choice over on the Craftster forums, the handmade quilt is one of my favorites in a long time. While she didn’t have the patience make each pixel out of individual fabric squares, the four month project is still an impressive feat of retro-gaming art.

Pac-Man Quilt by s0choice

Does Ms. Pac-Man have a beauty mark? For some reason, I never noticed that until now. I guess I was distracted by her luscious lips and sexy hair bow.

Can I have one of these on my bed? Please?
