The complete blanket is actually broken up into these 16 pieces which are whip-stitched together: Much as I wanted to do the whole piece in one gigantic go, I remembered how difficult that was with the Marvel Blanket and kept myself away from that.
#DIG DUG ARRANGEMENT SPRITES HOW TO#
The only real difficulty to this blanket was figuring out how to break up the pieces without making it in obvious pieces like I often do with my 4-piece and 9-piece blankets. The Dig Dug dragon spitting fire and Galaga tractor beam just felt like they needed to be in there because out how much they annoy me. you could populate the whole blanket with more mushrooms and they would fit without overlapping). Also, because I’m picky about details, I felt the need to space out the mushrooms and centipedes correctly in relation to each other (i.e. I did try to keep characters interacting within their own games, though, hence Pac-Man heading for the cherries while being pursued by the ghost, Taizo Hori preparing to shoot the Pooka, the Galaga ship shooting at the bees, and the Centipede head taking out the mushroom while running dangerously close to the spider. Naturally this meant I had to capture the stress and chaos of classic arcade games by filling the screen with relatively random sprites. The idea for this blanket was just to showcase all of the arcade games I grew up loving on a single black screen. Then I discovered corner-to-corner (C2C) crochet, and all my problems were solved. Except back then, I didn’t have a stitch that was both small enough to give me some detail while still being perfectly square.

This is the project I really had in mind when I made the Tetris Blanket.
