I am however halfway through the blocks. That does make me happy. I have 11/16 people blocks done and 5/16 lightsabers done. I need to work a bit more on those lightsabers and get that number up. I hate making the same block over and over so I think that’s where I’m struggling a bit. But I’ll get there. I know I can. I know I can.
I don’t know why that pic went blurry. Sorry. Too tired to go take another one!
While having a Game of Thrones marathon (finally started watching it so I could see what all the fuss was about!) I managed to get four new blocks added to the list.
The most difficult of all the LEGO Star Wars blocks – Ahsoka Tano.
I won’t lie. There was
Yoda himself. Faceless he is. Faceless he may stay. Yoda face is hard.
Previously unmentioned, this block is Padme Amidala. The cool fighter Padme, not the weird get-up Senator Padme (could you imagine piecing that?!). See what my Star Wars kid is doing to me?! I didn’t even know there was more than one version of Padme til my J came along with his obsession.
And Han Solo. I’m not sure I got his hair colour right. I wanted a different brown to Padme and Leia. Interesting fact I learnt from my friend Jane – the LEGO Han Solo minifigure has his own unique hair colour. Perhaps that’s where the pressure came from to make his hair right!
Padme and Han Solo patterns are in my Craftsy shop for free – I am gradually adding the patterns as they get tested. Expect some more to be added soon.
So there you have it. 16 blocks. Halfway there. I can do this. I still have 7 weeks to go before the big birthday!
Well done! It's hard when you hit the middle - I go for mini goals to keep me interested (if I can - some times I just flake out :-)) I think one more light sabre in each colour would be a good start!
ReplyDeleteHan Solo. Mmmmmmm. He deserves his own hair colour. Yes he does.
These look amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteWhoop whoop! Just picture that little face lighting up at the sight of all these familiar friends ;)
ReplyDeleteAlso - I laughed out loud when you wrote that Ahsoka is the toughest block. I went pretty slowly but now I'm just hoping it'll go faster as a chain piecing process, otherwise this might be the beginning of the end for my Warhol project!
May the force stay with you (so you don't run out of steam!) Yoda is pretty wrinkly so I can see why he may remain faceless.
ReplyDeleteLove them! All of your blocks Kristy! I can imagine the frustration with Ahsoka Tano....
ReplyDeleteWill there be a Star Wars themw for the birthday too or will that be the straw that might break the camel's back?
ReplyDeleteYou are doing a fantastic job on these blocks.
Impressed, I am, by your progress :)
ReplyDeleteThe whole world is watching, keep going! lol We'll get you through. Is there some special thing those guys say in SW? You know something like: I'll be back! he he
ReplyDeleteJust brilliant!
ReplyDeletego, Kristy, go!! I know you can do it too!! you have accomplished half the blocks in 3 weeks or so??? and you are getting the more difficult ones out of the way so the rest will be a breeze. This quilt is so awesome!!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING!! What a quilt this is going to be. I'm happy to send you a chocolate 'oomph' pack if you think it will help you get through the second half!
ReplyDeleteyou are amazing :-)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, they are. Patient, you must be. Impressed, I am. Bit tricky to get the punctuation right in Yoda-speak.
ReplyDeleteThey're fabulous! Way to go! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are looking amazing Kirsty! I totally get what you mean about the boredom of making the same block over and over- hang in there!
ReplyDeleteI am sure you can do what you planned! You did a great yobs already! I love the idea/design and I love the blocs! Wel done adn go on!
ReplyDeleteGo Kristy!! These are all so amazing, you can do it! Off to get Han!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing! These blocks are amazing!
ReplyDeleteyou are doing so well! I have to admit, I have no idea who half of these characters are (I have heard of Yoda!), despite having seen 4/6 of the star wars films! Clearly I wasn't paying enough attention...
ReplyDeleteyour Star Wars blocks are brilliant! I haven't seen all the movies as yet ~ guess I'm going to have to now to know who these characters are!
ReplyDeleteAmazing job Kristy!! You are plugging away quite briskly here girl!
ReplyDeleteOoooh my gosh, this is the cutest thing, I had better not tell my girls that this is even possible! Lol
ReplyDeleteI am stopping by from the WIP hop, my post is here if you have time to stop by :) http://domesticdeficitdisorder.blogspot.com/2013/07/wip-july-17th-edition.html
I showed this to my kids and they think it's so cool!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing, I love all the Star Wars patterns. I showed Princess Leia to my daughters and guess what, they want a quilt with all the figures, they grew up with Star Wars so I guess that will tell how old they are and they still love the figures.
ReplyDeleteI love them too and will get to work on them soon. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Star Wars love. You are ploughing through. Game of Thrones pp next for all those middle aged men?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these - they are AMAZING!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is very nice :-)
ReplyDeleteajka
This is looking fantastic, Kristy! I know what you mean about those light sabers...I go crazy when I'm doing the same block over & over too!
ReplyDeleteSo cool. This is worth it! Keep going... and going... and going!
