Yoshi Pixel Art Quilt

This is the tale of a quilt which relies only on colour placement.  All the "pixels" are 2 and a half inch squares which were cut on my Accuquilt cutter.  First I cut strips then turned these 90 degrees and cut into squares.  Total cutting out time was about one and a half hours for 750 squares. 
The quilt was "netted" together. To do this take column two and place column one on top, chain piece from the first to last "pixel" down the column, only then cut thread.  Add all of column 3 onto column 2 - again chain piecing and so on for all the other columns.  The quilt is then turned 90 degrees and the rows stitched together (matching the seams as you go).  I found this so much easier than going row by row and getting the rows out of order......
Anyhow here is a summary of how it all went together.
