Charity Quilt(s) 2013

I just want to check before I sign up and get started: is this picture all right for the quilt? I think it is, but I feel the need to make sure.



It's from Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Treasure of Tarmin (also known as Minotaur) for the Intellivision.

Sure. That looks fine to me.

That Minotaur square looks good to me!

I have another question for you all. What's more important? That the square we stitch is 6"x6", or that it is 96x96 stitches? I used pic2pat to turn a Spyro screenshot into a pattern, but when I asked for a 6"x6" square on 16ct aida, it gave me a 94x94 stitch pattern. :/

Now, the fabric I bought is actually a little biggish, so 94x94 stitches comes out to about 5 15/16 of an inch. Were I to stitch an extra row along the bottom and the left side, it would be a little over 6"x6".

My question is: should I just stitch the pattern as is and have it sit juuuuuust under 6"x6"? Or should I stitch an extra row along the bottom and one side so it can completely fill the square? OR, should I ditch it and make a new pattern that is actually 96x96 stitches?

[EDIT: I discovered that this question has been asked a couple times already. I believe my solution should be to add a 1px border around the entire piece, bringing it to 96x96 stitches. Is that right?]

Yes, that's right. It should be fine measurement-wise once done. Don't forget that it will be washed etc before going in to the quilt, and Toni knows what she's doing

These are gonna be some awesome quilts!

[tnitnetny]

Hopefully I know what I am doing.

It will be 6x6 or close to it after I wash them, so you are correct, make sure it is 96x96.

[Hylian Shadow]

Sure. That looks fine to me.

Awesome. Time for a Joann's run so I can get started.

So, here is WIP:

The lighting isn't ideal, but you get the idea.
And as a reminder, here is what my square will look like (thanks again to BMH:)
