Okay, I finally figured out a square to do! Yaaay!

Does this meet the requirements? The game is an NES game called Circus (sometimes Circus Charlie) - I don't know how popular it was but I spent wayyy too much of my childhood playing it.

I'm just a layman, but I think you're good to go! :grin: These were the rules, though, just in case...

* You must use 16 count white/off-white/cream aida (NO colored Aida!)
* at least 15" x 15" total canvas size (it will be cut down before quilting, but there must be extra to cut)
* 96x96 stitch working space (6" x 6")
* Every square within your 96x96 must be stitched. This is for a quilt so there can not be any open unstitched squares.
* This is fun and for charity. No negativity.

Your choice of what to stitch
* Must be a scene from a video game, no original creations or just logos. It can be an opening or closing shot, the scene doesn't have to be within the game.
* Once you know your scene, sign up on the spreadsheet so there are no repeats. Feel free to make more then one square, just put them all on the spreadsheet.

I finally finished my square! I tired blocking it out but I really don't have the right equipment for it :/
Anyhow it's done and I'm happy with it even though it made me want to tear my hair out a few times!
complete!
complete!

The browns aren't quiet right but I did what I could.

edit: I'm trying to track down high quality screen shots from the original Spyro the Dragon series (PS1) but there are not many of them available. I've found a few and will attempt to make a workable pattern but I may need help from those more experienced in making non-sprite art into workable patterns :)
