How are the blocks coming along? Any questions, or photos to share before we get to the next block, Mooshroom?
Today is Mooshroom Day! I love the bright red in this block, alongside the Black, White and Grey.
To make the Mooshroom block you will need the following Kona solids: Cardinal White Black Shadow
Remember to save any extra squares you cut for future blocks, or see if you have any leftovers from previous blocks. Don’t toss any until you are done with the blocks!
Please share your progress with me using the Instagram hashtag #MinecraftQAL and find me @myrainydaydesigns. Back soon with the Pig!
It’s time to go minimalistic with Black, White and Grey. The Ghost is the first of two in this color scheme and should be quick and easy to put together!
For the Ghast block you will need the following Kona solids: White Shadow Black
Since you have used these three colors in previous blocks, see how many squares you have left over and use them for this block. And share your progress with me using the Instagram hashtag #MinecraftQAL and find me @myrainydaydesigns.
I haven’t played the game and I don’t know just how villainous Enderman is, but who doesn’t love a good villain? Maleficent is my personal favorite villain, and one of my son’s soccer teams was the Ender Dragons – but back to Minecraft! Enderman was my favorite to make not only because he is mostly black squares (all but 6) but I just love that pop of Cerise and Mulberry. I liked it so much that I made an apron to wear to the Birthday Party:
I didn’t get a shot of me in it, but I threw it together that morning, literally at the last minute. All the math calculations I had previously done went out the window. If I did it again I wouldn’t have made it as wide, but it was really nice to be able to have my phone and other little party gadgets I needed right there for me.
To make the Enderman Block you will need the following Kona solids: Black Cerise Mulberry
I hope the first three quilt blocks have gone well for you. Today I have block number 4 – the Minecraft Dirt Block to share with you. After you complete this block (and the other three) you will have a whole row of the quilt completed – just 3 more rows and the Title Block to go!
Remember to keep any extra squares left over from previous blocks to use on later blocks. Most of the blocks have the same colors used more than one, and some many times. The exceptions are minimal, such as Chicken and Enderman.
To create the Dirt Block you will need the following Kona solids: Earth Sour Apple Raffia Jungle White
And please share your progress with me on Instagram! You can find me @myrainydaydesigns and use the hashtag #MinecraftQAL.
Have you started the Chicken or Cow yet? I’m here to share one of the most popular characters now – the Creeper! This block was really fun to select colors for, and I think he turned out really well – I love how well the black squares lined up!
Kona solids for the Creeper: Black Kiwi Sour Apple Jungle Mint
I would love for you to share your progress with me on Instagram. You can find me @myrainydaydesigns and use the hashtag #MinecraftQAL.
Have you taken a look at the first Minecraft Quilt Block yet, the Chicken? I will also be posting a tutorial soon on my method of using fusible grid to create the quilt blocks, be sure to look out for that if you have any questions about using fusible grid.
Now I can share the Minecraft Cow block with you. At the last minute this block when through a design change; my son saw me working on the patterns to try and finish and post them, and he came running over “We have to change the Cow I will help you!!!”. So we reworked the design, added in some Kona Steel, and I quickly created a new block:
Kona fabrics for the Cow Block: Coffee White Steel Shadow Black
I hope you enjoy creating the Minecraft Cow – I’ll be back soon with the Creeper!
