I have never quilted before so there are plenty of flaws. I tried to keep the quilt as accurate as possible! The only blocks I personally changed were the top right tiny square, which I changed to a fox for Grace, and the green square in the middle left, which I changed for my dog who sadly passed after battling cancer and I wanted to dedicate this quilt to her. 💖🌈

I started this in the beginning of June and worked on it whenever I had the time! Fair warning my proportions are not exact to the quilt (I tried my best and was inspired by others but with no flat photos of the whole finished quilt there's just no way 😭). The border is also different due to the difficulty in finding the same patterns. There is a lot I had to fix and add as I went. I will list my supplies below! 💕

Supplies:

• ☆ Heat Sensitive Pens (for sketching)
• ☆ Fabric Markers (Artisto and Betem)
• ☆ Fabric Paint (Mont Marte)
• ☆ Embroidery Floss
• ☆ Lots of thread
• ☆ Lots of Satin fabric
• ☆ Lots of Cotton fabric
• ☆ Fabric Scissors ☆ Pinking Shears (helps prevent fraying)
• ☆ Rotary Cutter
• ☆ Cutting Mat
• ☆ Fabric Glue
• ☆ Elmer's Glue Stick
• ☆ Iron
• ☆ Sewing Machine
• ☆ Walking Foot
• ☆ Free Motion Quilting Foot
• ☆ Sewing Clips
• ☆ Tear Away Interface
• ☆ Batting (I used 80/20 cotton/polyester)
• ☆ Stuffing (I used a little bit of stuffing in a few blocks to give them that "poof")
• ☆ Backing (I used a polyester queen size sheet but you can use any fabric you like)

It was a lot of suffering but also a lot of fun! If anyone is inspired to make the quilt I wish you the best of luck and happy quilting! 🕺🎉

(p.s. Satin is a nightmare to work with... I used a tear away interface to help stabilize, but please be aware that it loves to fray and loves to move, so if you want to skip satin please go ahead lmao)

from Parks and Rec.

Eva Stratt is such an amazing character who has amazing depth. But I also like drawing goofy memes, so I have to draw this because this is basically what she did during that chapter.

Obviously her appearance is based off the movie!

I'll paint Grace's face when the clay completely hardens. Shaping them was a complete chaos.

They didn't turn out as how I imagined but I'm happy they look cute. (I was so unsure about where to add Rocky's blue things that I had to do it randomly)

The baby Eridian is made with the clay left from Grace's hair😔

I crocheted a little Rocky out of embroidery floss! He's even a little poseable! Next step is making him a xenonite ball...

Love how it came out! Used glitter and baby oil

My favorite design practice exercise, take characters you like and make em anthro. It really helps you hone your silhouette work.

I’m reading the book rn hehe, loving it so far.

Originally thought of making Grace a golden retriever, but I wanted to reference his favorite sweater, and the fact he’s the type to run away feels more fox like than dog like. Still kept his more bulky look, as he’s described as buff in the book.

Happy to share with that I finally managed to pre-order the steelbook with the 3 discs in France (hoping that we too in FR we have the 1:43 on the 3rd disc)

Was practicing human proportions (using Ryland as the model cause obviously) and ended up drawing this and now Im sad LOL... Think I did good on the anatomy though? Wanted it to look like hes laying down...

He looks funny without his glasses but its okay cause theyre broken next to his head so he still has em :) (I cant draw glasses to save my soul sorry everyone who wears some)

Yall *please* listen to Punish by Ethel Cain, was my inspo music for this and ugh its been on repeat

Anyways sad Ryland, still got ways to go anatomy wise but relatively happy with how it turned out since it was supposed to just be a little sketch!!
