While the daytime is warm and summery around these parts, it doesn’t stop me from catching the occasional chill at bedtime. So what better way to keep warm but with a Space Invaders quilt?

Emily from Carolina Patchworks is at it again with another one of her pixel-y good video game quilts, this time with those pesky monochrome 8-bit invaders coming in for a landing…

These sweet pixelated Dig Dug pillows are completely rocking this couch! Talk about a fruit bonus.

Dig Dug was one of the first games I mastered, so if anyone wants to make these for me, feel free. In fact, seeing these inspired me to fire up my Firenes app and check out how accurately these pillows were rendered. Of course, I ended up playing a few rounds. The verdict: I am no longer a master…

This retro arcade quilt makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. The throw features the pixel-y likenesses of Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man and all of their ghostly pals (along with some delicious 8-bit cherries).

Posted by s0choice over on the Craftster forums, the handmade quilt is one of my favorites in a long time…

Back in the day, Pole Position was one of my all-time favorite arcade games. Not only was it the first full-color POV racing game, it had some of the most groundbreaking graphics in its time. With today’s photorealistic racing games like the Gran Turismo and PGR series, it’s amazing how far we’ve come…

If you’ve got a serious Mario addiction, you might just have to break open your piggy bank for this. This fun quilt features the likenesses of Mario and his foes in the context of the NES platformer that really put the little Italian plumber on the map.

It looks like Mario just hopped out of his green drain pipe, only to have to face a tough decision…

Video games and quilting sound like they should mix about as well as oil and water, but lately, they seem more like the delicious blend of chocolate and peanut butter. First we had the Q*Bert quilt, followed by the Galaga quilt and more recently the Legend of Zelda quilt. The latest mash-up between games and sewing features a fun Super Mario theme…

If you’re a fan of the NES Legend of Zelda games, you’ll love this pixelated quilt inspired by the classic 8-bit games.

Created by CarolinaPatchworks, the same video game fanatics who brought us the Galaga quilt, it features a stitched scene of a blue Octorok and a Leever on the attack, while Link makes his way towards a Darknut in his Underworld dungeon…

On a cold winter’s day, what better way to enjoy a gaming session than from under this toasty quilt featuring the 80s arcade classic Galaga?

Handcrafted by North Carolina artist CarolinaPatchworks, the quilt offers up a giant (18:1 scale) interpretation of the bitmapped icons from arguably the best top-down shooter of all time.

The 60-inch square quilt can be found over on Etsy for $475…
