Throne Thursdays: Tully

Just one block to share today.  Best laid schemes, and all that.  :)

I managed to get Tully tested, and it went together well.  I'm working on getting Baelish redone in this grey, since I like it so much, and I'm hoping to have enough to do Arryn as well.  Here's this week's block:

House Tully.

This block makes me think of home, which becomes more important as we are now a month out from our move.  Salmon are one of those things you think of when you think of stereotypical Seattle, and this sigil makes me think of a salmon.  (It's probably not; I probably just embarrassed myself massively.  But you have to remember, I'm not the giant GoT fan in this house.)  This grey is so much better than the polka dotted silver I used on the Baelish sigil last time, and I adore this blue tonal.  I'm not sure why I had bought it, especially so much of it, but it was sitting in my stash unused.

I know it's probably not technically a salmon, but it is to me!

I'd rate this about a 2/5 for difficulty.  Easy to piece, and the sections go together fairly easily, with only a few points that have to match up.  You can download the Tully pattern here.

My goals for the next two weeks are Tyrell and Baratheon.  I should actually have a lot more time after Monday once the kids are out of school, but to be honest, the PoD has been calling my name while I have this embroidery machine.  I've been pretty focused on getting a lot of that done.  I am more than a third of the way done with this quilt, though, putting me in a good spot for Christmas gift-giving!

Throne Thursdays: Martell

Hey, it's still technically Thursday!  That means I can rest easy in the knowledge that I squeaked in under my personally imposed deadline.  We might actually get this quilt finished by Christmas!  Today's installment of my Game of Thrones quilt is the Martell sigil.

We were out tonight enjoying our eldest daughter's performance in her school talent show and having celebratory ice cream afterwards, so I started working on this block late this evening.  That would explain the one terrible picture, but it's documented so we'll call it good.  This was a really easy pattern to draft, which made it kind of fun to stitch up as well.

I would rate the difficulty at about a 2/5.  Very few sections that are easy to piece, and there are only a couple spots where points need to line up.  Here's the finished product:

The real deal!

In real life, the colors are a lot more vibrant than this.  I tried to avoid getting garish colors so it didn't end up looking like McDonalds threw up on the quilt, and I love the three colors I found.  They are all tonals, and the orange is a beautiful burnt orange.  I think it will look great in the final product.

You can find the pattern here and on Craftsy.
