- daridave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17That's a sprite form Super Mario Bros. 3, fool. Press down and hide under your hat, now !
- djSyndrome, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Why does it have to be for a boy? My three-year-old daughter loves Mario and would love one of these.
- BlackCow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Oh please if your kid is a girl don't raise your kid any different. Just raise ur kid a geek regardless of sex.
- Rayor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9"Best mother ever" is a more accurate statement, considering the child hasn't done anything yet.
- trib4lmaniac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Why does it have to be for a baby? *I* would love one of these!
- pr0vidence, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7My mother made both of these quilts. The pictures do them no justice, they look great.
- banjokazooie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Wow, nothing would make me feel safer. Looks a little thin, however.
- iheartruiner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Rayor - Thanks for the best Mom Ever comment. ;)
banjokazooie - It's much thicker than it looks. Very nice quality. And I'm not saying that because I'm partial. - Seidoger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4And to think that the first mario game this kid will play will probably be Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii (or a sequel perhaps)!
Daddy, why are there not big giant squares? - jasper976, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3is there a pattern available anywhere?
- VitaminK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Has she made any other gaming ones? Would love to see some more pics if she has, and if she feels like making one for me I'll send you my address.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4It's Mario's world. We just live in it.
- pr0vidence, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@yournamehere: Here are links to pics of both blankets

@jasper, sorry I don't think there's a pattern. I gave her the pixel maps of the characters and she put the rest together from scratch. - revwolfwood, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Oh wow. If my next kiddo is a boy, I would love to have that for him.
- ruiner9, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Oh, don't worry... when we're on the couch playing Mario Galaxy, I'll tell him all about how we used to play video games where Mario looked just like the quilt that hangs on his bedroom wall.
And the "Best KID ever" comment was from his mom (and my wife) LOL :) - rockefeller, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I guess when they say 8-bit, they mean it comes from the NES era.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yoshi Island/PiT babies = cuter.
- mcflynnthm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I was thinking the same. Over the holidays, I am totally coming up with a design and raiding the fabric store :D
- yournamehere, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1grr, stupid surfcontrol at work. anyone have a link that isn't on a well known site?
- paOol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1can you ask your mother to make some more? i'll buy them.
- wushu18t, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1nice looking quilt. i just wish i had my old blankie :( but my mom makes quilts...time to give her an idea.

- galactus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is totally off-topic: but GOD I hate Kotaku's layout
as for the blanket: I'd love one of those - mastersquirrel3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Everyone loves a good blanket.
- Sethwm2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I like this I think it does look a little thin. That would be cool if it was a blanket something heavy. This is a good idea though
- sewgoodmama, on 04/08/2009, -0/+0Very nice!
http://www.crazycreekquilts.com - mfawcett, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I suck

- iheartruiner, on 10/12/2007, -9/+5Best KID ever. ;)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1FAKE
Obviously a picture of NES Super Mario Brothers enhanced in Photoshop and put onto a picture of a blanket. - Tordenflesk, on 10/12/2007, -13/+28-bit? i call that low-res
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -16/+3we are all stuck in super mario world.
