Time for the fourth block of the NES Sampler Quilt a Long, Metroid. To remind you, this is what the entire NES Sampler Quilt will look like. The NES Sampler quilt will have a finished size of 51" by 67". For those not familiar with a Quilt a Long we will be releasing the pattern for one block each month on the 1st. You then have the entire month to make the block. Don't feel rushed though. The patterns will always be free and available in the forums so you can join and catch up at any time. You can pick and choose which blocks to make and in what order you would like to arrange them on the quilt. You just don't get the instructions for the next block in the series until the following month. This quilt can be made by experienced quilters, or those new to quilting. You only need to know how to use a sewing machine and a rotary cutter. New quilting tips will be highlighted so experienced quilters can skip over them. You can find the pattern to Metroid here.Please let us know if there is anything in the patterns that are confusing or need to be explained further. If the the NES quilt is successful then we plan on releasing our own line of patterns for you!

Oh that's cool! I love that purple fabric. It's a batik right? I think I have the same one and haven't been able to figure out what to use it for. It looks great in the Metroid!!

Yep! I am new to working with batiks, and this one was particularly difficult to tell the front from the back. Do you have any tips?

There is actually no front and back! Batiks are made by a special dying process that saturates the color throughout. One of the reasons I love working with Batiks so much is that there isn't a wrong side. They are a dream for applique.
