Superheroes

So it's about time for a new craft.  Well, not really a totally new craft, but a new way of making a quilt.  My four year old daughter is watching Superhero cartoons on Netflix.  She really only likes the ones with the girls, so we're watching X-men (lots of girls) and we flip through episodes of Justice League until we find one where Wonder Woman is the "focus" of the episode.

Well.. I decided to make a Superhero logo quilt.  I decided on about a 7 inch long or wide logo.  Some logos are wider than they are long, so 7 inches wide and whatever height for scale.  So I picked up 2 yards of white fabric for the quilt top, which is 72 inches.    So, 72 inches... divided by 8 inches (7 inch logo, plus an inch between logos), that's 9 rows of logos, and 42 inches across divided by 8 is 5 logos.  So, 9 times 5 is.. FORTY FIVE?  I'm making a quilt with 45 logos?  What was I thinking?

So I made up a document of heros that have logos.  The first ones are easy, Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman... but near the end I'm scraping for logos.  Hit Girl, Greatest American Hero... So I wanted them dispersed through the quilt.  I used random.org to give me a random sequence of 1-45 and out them in a spreadsheet.  

I am using Gimp to draw all the logos, because I need the colors separate.  It's a slow go, but I'm making progress.  I'll explain later how I'm actually doing all the work (tracing and heat-n-bond light), but for right now, I completed the first logo, and it is Wonder Woman.  Center, top of the quilt.
