Today you get to make the TNT block! While more challenging than the other 15 main blocks, this will be good practice for the main Title Block coming up. In the TNT block you will be using 2 different sizes of squares. I urge you to try the fusible grid on this block if you haven’t been using it yet. As you can see the Cardinal squares are the standard size, and half the white blocks are standard sizes, but the center section of Black and White squares are smaller – the same size they will be in the Title Block.
Take your time and cut accurately, go slowly, and it will work out beautifully!
To make the TNT Block you will need the following Kona solids:
Cardinal
White
Black
I would love to see the progress you are making on your blocks – find me on Instagram @myrainydaydesigns and use the hashtag #MinecraftQAL.
Minecraft THT how do you attach the THT to the main piece? Seams don’t line up. What size are the minecraft blocks?
Hi Mary, see this page: https://myrainydaydesigns.com/minecraft-quilt/
The center squares are cut 1 1/4”. The sides and top and bottom are cut 2”. I did the center TNT 1 1/4” blocks first, then attached the white sides. Then the row of 2” white top and bottom, then attached the red top and bottom.
Looking at the height of the TNT..If you do 3 x 1/4” seams, from 4 x 1 1/4” blocks, the TNT ends up at 2 3/4” but a 1/4” seam off 2 x the regular 2” blocks gives you 3 3/4” or am I missing something??
The TNT block contains 2 sizes – you’ll cut and sew together the TNT letters first – those are 1 1/4″ squares. Then you’ll attach two 2″ white squares to the right and left sides of the TNT. Then you will attach the top and bottom white and red rows of 2″ squares.
