Hasta La Gadget!

Mario is always on the hunt for his Princess, but she always seems to be in another castle. But it turns out she might actually be taking up residence in your castle thanks to this lovely Princess Peach quilt.

This pixel art quilt was created by Megan “8bit” Healey, and is made from cotton and has a warm fleece backing. It measures 60″ x 78″, so it’s a good size for a twin bed or lounging around on the couch while you wait for Super Mario 3D World to be released.

So punch open some question mark blocks, save up your gold coins and once you have $200 worth, head on over to Etsy and buy this quilt. If Peach isn’t your thing, you can also find Mega Man, Bowser, Tanooki Mario and other fun quilts in her shop.

In all honesty, it’s been a while since I dusted off my original NES copy of The Legend of Zelda, but it’s still one of the all time classic video games, IMHO. But even if you don’t play the game regularly, you could have a daily reminder of Link’s adventures thanks to this awesome Legend of Zelda quilt.

Every time you lie down on the couch to take a nap, you could snuggle up under this hand-pieced quilt by artist Kelly Jaworski. It features a detailed pixel art image of Link, and is surrounded by triangular pieces of fabric, shaped like Triforces.

The small version of the quilt measures about 3.5 x 4.5 ft and sells for $199 (USD), while the queen-size (5.5 x 7.5 ft) version goes for $299. I wonder how many rupees that is.

Each one is backed with soft flannel to help keep you warm during long quests through Hyrule.

Apple fanboys and fangirls, looking for something to keep you warm and toasty this winter? Why not go for an iPhone quilt, loaded up with all your your favorite apps?

This detailed “iQuilt” was made by Heidi Hendrix, and actually won two awards at the Maryland State Fair because it’s just that awesome. Each of its 20 home screen apps is intricately appliquéd, and include favorites like Angry Birds, Skype, Pandora and Facebook. She was also kind enough to leave the iOS6 Apple Maps app off, so you don’t have to be reminded of that while you curl up underneath it. And yes, we see that the home button isn’t round, but we’ll forgive Heidi.

The quilt measures 61″ x 86″, making it big enough to use on a twin-sized bed with a good amount of overhang on the edges. But if your bed is too big for it, you could always use it to cover up and keep warm while chilling on the couch. The iQuilt can be yours for $375(USD) over on Etsy. Sure, that’s more expensive than a 32GB iPhone 5, but at least you won’t have to worry about a 2-year contract with this one.

If you are a Doctor Who fan and are getting married, I hope you have a friend like graverobbergirl who created this TARDIS-themed quilt for her friend’s wedding present. She is a very good friend, indeed.

It features an swirling TARDIS surrounded by a whole mess of Daleks. Plus there’s a star field border on the outside. This queen-sized quilt measures 92″ x 92″ and is done in a pieced Irish Chain pattern. It was hand-quilted and machine-quilted, along with hand-applique and hand-embroidery.

The lucky couple will sleep just fine at night with this quilt keeping them warm. No doubt they will dream of Daleks and adventures on far away worlds. He will be the Doctor and she the companion. May they be happy for many years.
