Mario is FINISHED!

So, one of these blocks takes a good three hours to piece.  I hope to get Luigi done tomorrow and then from now on, I'll do the block for the week on Monday to keep from getting behind.  I'll to cut out all of the color when it comes up each week.  I have baggies of the 1.5" blocks in the colors that were in Mario.
Here of some fun pictures of the progression to Mario :)

All of Mario one way.

Sweet Mario completed.
He is 18x18 of 1.5" blocks.
Oh the joy in my heart that he is sewn up!
I'm going to make Luigi facing the other direction :)
Angela over at Cuttopieces.blogspot.com is a block MASTER!  I am so happy she is doing this QAL!

    So fun to watch him take shape! I have Mario done and I'm working on a piranha plant (based on another quilt found in the Flickr group for the QAL), but I'll be falling way behind soon because of other sewing projects. I'm seeing squares in my sleep!

    Working with 1.5 inch pieces is challenging, but rewarding. Your block looks great!

    OMG... I'm going backwards as usual and saw Luigi first... so they're blocks, I'm stunned! That's a lot of work for one block, what have you got yourself into, Marion? :)))
