I thought I'd give you all a quick update on the progress of the Mario Mushroom Blanket I'm trying to make for my son's birthday. I've finally started joining the squares together... and his birthday is next month so I do hope I get it finished in time!!
I decided to go with a blue background in the end. It seems rather fitting, especially since that is the colour of the sky in the Mario games. The blue is going to be around the whole mushroom eventually.
Can't wait to finish it and show you what it looks like!
