I would love to see your Title Block! Please find me on Instagram and share it using the hashtag #MinecraftQAL. To create the Minecraft Title Block you will need the following Kona solids: Welcome to the Minecraft Title Block! To create this block I STRONGLY suggest you use fusible grid, even if you haven’t used it on the other blocks! It will help in keeping the small squares more stable. I would love to hear if the fusible grid worked as well for you as it did for me, and share your blocks with me – find me on Instagram and use the hashtag #MinecraftQAL. But it’s done, it’s solid, and it looks great! Repeat this process until all rows are complete:Īs you can see with this finished Minecraft Cow quilt block, the squares line up nicely, even if sewing it together using the fusible grid wasn’t the fastest method, or even the easiest. Step 12: Cut off just the fold and iron seam open: Iron flat and sew 1/4″ to combine these two rows: Rotate the block and fold the top row down over the second row: Repeat this process for the remaining columns. Sew another 1/4″ seam and cut off just the fold. Step 5: Sew 1/4″ seam to connect these 2 columns:Ĭut off just the edge of the fold, just enough to allow you to iron the seam open:įold the next column over and iron flat, column 7 folded over column 6: I have found that the grid is a little slippery when sewing, so it is helpful to have a quilting glove on the left hand while I sew the 1/4″ seam to help guide the fabric through uniform and straight. column 8 folded over onto column 7 and iron flat, like this: Step 4: Fold one row or column over, i.e. That happened to me at least once every block, just make sure to iron that piece back into place and be careful moving the block back and forth to your sewing machine, ironing board and cutting table. The glue isn’t that strong and the pieces may fall off before you are done sewing every row. Iron all the squares in place on the fusible grid – glue side up, grid side down – hot iron, no steam.
Take your time to cut your 2″ squares exactly and you should be okay. It should be close to the grid lines on the fusible fabric, but it may not be exact.
(There wasn’t much left on the bolt so they sent it home with me, it was folded double on the bolt).Īssemble the block squares on the grid, edge to edge. What I found at my local quilt shop was QuiltFuse 2″ fusible grid HTC-3240-White, 48″ wide:Ĭut out the squares for the block, and the piece of fusible grid you are going to use – just cut on the grid lines and make sure you are only cutting through one layer. So here is my method of using fusible grid to make the Minecraft Quilt Blocks. The white background helps the outer squares blend together, but you can see in the beak and tongue areas they don’t always line up exactly in the mug rug using the fusible grid below it turned out much better. The second is the quilt block using fusible grid. Take a look at these 2 images: The top image is my Minecraft Chicken Mug Rug top, sewn together without using fusible grid (and slightly smaller squares). The reason is because it provides a solid, stable base when sewing the small squares together in rows, and sewing the squares together separately (standard piecing) the bias from the fabric comes into play, even though they are cut as a square – they are very small! The answer is no, it is not necessary, but the results do turn out better in the end. Some of you may be wondering what this fusible grid is that I keep referring to (and have listed in the supply list and patterns), or asking if it’s necessary to use when you could just sew the small squares together. | Minecraft, Quilts, Tutorials | 0 comments
