Default Considering an Ambitious Project

I'm not sure if anyone on this forum is familiar with the video game Journey that's recently come out for the PS3. It's honestly quite an experience. I'm considering making a quilt for myself featuring a simplified version of the game's characters and setting. In the game, they often view murals of the past in this art style, so it would be a very fitting tribute.

It would be an ambitious project. To mimic the pixel-style of the art, I would want to do each square individually. That would be a little over 1800 2" squares (finished size 1-1/2"). All that black? More squares. A sea of squares. Eek.

Here's a mock-up of what I'm considering in EQ7. All those seams are going to take a ton of fabric, but... if it works out? It would be really spectacular.

I also probably wouldn't use true solids. I'd find blenders and the like that would work with the setting.

Has anyone tackled a project similar to this? Or, I dunno, a postage stamp quilt or something of the sort? Any advice? I'm still a beginner, but this is something I feel very inspired to do. Words of wisdom before I even go out and look at fabric would be welcome.
