Haha, I love the pig. I would stitch the one little square, but I have no shame. :P

All these bands with quotes inspired me to make this one:

I'm pretty happy with how the frame came out. There was no room for the game's actual dialogue window frame, so I did a reimagining of it by hand, keeping the general style.

Edit: I realized I could get an even more accurate rendition of the in-game dialogue window if I included backstitching, so here's that version:

I like this a little better, but I'll leave the other up for anyone who doesn't like doing back stitches.

I fourth this! I think it would be cool for each of us to have a little bit different finished product that makes it our own.

Can I fifth this? I think this is a great compromise! Would we vote on the A, B and C ones?
6th? Sounds like a great compromise to make everyone happy :D
VERY WELL!
I will arrange it so that this is possible. Leave all that to me, it is my job. You lot may crack on with designs, keep 'em coming! I'm going to do a few this afternoon!

I also have no shame, which no doubt everyone here already knows! I would stitch that little square too!

Oh dear, now everyone's going to be stitching pig butt. Also, I've learned yet another euphemism today. >.>

stitchingmama - I'm eager for that TMNT band!
Aggie - there could be no other possible LoZ II band. :)
LIMH - this Portal band is ripe for personalization. :)
Arkani - MEWTWOOOOOO~~~ plus, both your bands scream "customize me!" as well.
Mostly hibernating here. Find me on Twitter @rmdcade.

I gave up on one of mine. The game (Vagrant Story) only has one iconic symbol and it's a complex one that doesn't work very well for as a band. I'm still going to try my second one but I should also work on my essay >.<
