Stitching for Charity 2012

[tnitnetny]

Definitely. After I get the quilts made I will ask for the games and creators to fill them in. I would live you to make them again.

They look great! So happy to be at this point in the process again! It's looking real!

[amneufeld]

My only (small) suggestion would be swapping Q2-2 and Q2-13 (looks like a lot of red in that second to last row?). I'm partially c/b so correct me if I'm wrong XD

Wow, both quilts will be wonderful !!! well done, Tritnetny ! (even if you move a couple of squares in between times)
This debate is fascinating, too bad my english isn't good enough to participate more ^^ but roughly I agree with BMH's points, understanding both Kuja and Gamerwolff points of view... (by the way, I was persuaded you were an guy, Gamerwolff... I learn everyday lol)

Hahahahahaha! Nope def a woman! I made the same mistake last year with my swappie in the mini swap! I thought they were a guy! It was so embarrassing! But it all worked out!

[gamerwolff]

Oh, I started an argument! Awesome!
Everyone makes some valid points and debate is encouraged. I myself signed up for several, not anticipating a wrist injury, bronchitis and a number of personal matters that needed my attention (as well as a ton of other crafting and Sprite Stitch duties).
gamerwolff makes the point that she completed all her squares - there were a number of others that did so. However, signing up for one or two at a time should not be a problem for those people in any way because you will most likely be done quickly and therefore still have access to your top choices.
kuja.girl's point about becoming discouraged because your favourite stuff might already be taken is a good one - in a project as large as this motivation is key and everyone should have fair access to their top choices. That said, there are some rather popular games so some people will inevitably be disappointed. (This doesn't apply to me really because I have a million choices that nobody would really ever consider! )

I still think that going ahead with sign ups for one or two at a time may be more productive in terms of participants and number of squares. But perhaps the idea can be refined some more. I'll get my thinking Hat on. I want things to be fair for everyone!


On to other things:

@tnitnetny: Both my squares are in Quilt 1. They are #1 and #14 I don't mind if you want to keep them there, though. But if you were going to move one, I'd say swap #1 with something from Quilt 2 - don't ask me which one!
Also, Servotron's 2 squares are also both in Quilt 1. They are #7 and #12.


@gamerwolff: Yeah, you did 2 Kirby squares but they are different enough! What I was on about was more like (and I hope you'll forgive me for the example) Kingdom Hearts, where the games tend to have the same aesthetic style and a lot of titles to work with. Same with stuff like Pokémon, Sonic, Mario, older FF's, that sort of thing. I'm just kinda saying, let's not have say, 6 people all doing Series Y, but different titles from that series, because there are some people who don't know which game is which and will just think they are all the same game. If that makes sense. It's early and I'm only on my 2nd cup of tea
Oh and we should totally combine our forces sometime!


EDIT: And I've paypal'd you a donation tnitnetny, hope it helps

not an argument per se lol

BMH wanna team up for next years? we can PM and see which serie(s) we want to do! I do think that with a very popular game it would make as much if not more that the misc. square quilts.

And I do agree that as fast as I stitch I'd probably get most of my choices if we limit it to 2 per sign up with completed posts.

[gamerwolff]

OMG that bubble bobble square is awesome. If that ones disappears and doesn't show up in the quilt, I lost it. Really.

Glad to see the Bubble Bobble square made it into the layout!

In quilt one, maybe we could swap the positions of squares 10 and 19 so that there's a darker square next to the white Sprite Stitch one? In quilt two, maybe we could swap the positions of squares 12 and 17 to break up the green and maroon squares at the bottom a little bit? Otherwise I think they look pretty good!

My squares are in both quilts! I'm still on the fence about whether to use Ebay or the auction...

My squares are evenly dispersed tnitnetny.

I Agree with the breakup of the green and maroon squares!

Sure, as long as I don't have a billion things to do it should be fine
PM me and we'll have a chat about it! ^^

The green squares were already broken up. I will switch the maroon ones tonight and take new pics.

It was a discussion, not an argument! After all we were all civil with each other :D (I was totally playing Devil's Advocate a bit too).

My only (small) suggestion would be swapping Q2-2 and Q2-13 (looks like a lot of red in that second to last row?). I'm partially c/b so correct me if I'm wrong XD

I noticed it too :)
Otherwise they are looking really great and I'm excited to see what color fabric will be used.
