Maine artists Shawna, Patrick (and their turtle named Bruce) from Potatocraft crafted this machine-pieced patchwork quilt from numerous individual squares of colored fabric to create giant pixels.

Measuring in at 36″ x 66″, the $75 quilt is perfect for a twin-sized bed or as a wall hanging. You can find this one, along with a smaller Mario baby quilt ($50) perfect for budding gamers over in their Etsy shop.

I can’t decide if I like the Boombox or the Walkman better.

I love how the artist even made a little pair of headphones and some cassettes to go with the portable tape player.

All were lovingly handcrafted by Israel’s VeryNiceDolls. While you’re off ogling their Flickr photostream, be sure to check out their other plush creations, including a cool toaster (complete with buttered toast), a reel-to-reel tape player and a pair of sneakers.
