In the pantheon of classic NES games, Excitebike holds an underrated position. Besides the fantastic rhyming name, the gameplay of riding an off-road motorcycle across a stunt track was just plain cool (or at least cool for that time period). It was 8 bit extreme. Well quilting may not be too extreme but Candy Coated Quilts (of Sheldon Cooper Quilt fame) has made it cool with this sweetass retro Excitebike Quilt, featuring the iconically geeky imagery from the game cartridge and box cover.

7500 Pixels in this Sheldon Cooper Pixel Quilt
Check out this amazing Big Bang Theory craft from Candy Coated Quilts. It’s everyone’s favorite TV geek Sheldon Cooper made up of 7500 “pixels” of quilt patches. Each of those pieces of fabric measures 1.5″ square.
She calls this a pixelquilt. You’re probably thinking that it takes a long time to cut and sew this many squares into a quilt. And you’d be correct. This big Sheldon was started in July and only completed six months later in January. Well at least it was finished in time for some cold weather. Bazinga! Bazinga indeed, sir. (hat tip)
