cross THAT one off my list

The first time I saw the "tumbling blocks" quilt pattern, I immediately thought of the 80s arcade game Q-BERT, and did a quick sketch for a Q-BERT quilt. Turns out the folks at Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories have beaten me to it, proving once again that everything's already been done. At least that's one less quilt I have to make!
