Minecraft, for the uninitiated, is computer game - a bit like 3D Lego that my DGS loves. DD thought I could make a quilt as it's "all squares" (non quilter, lol).
Not so easy - as you will see on my previous post here and SlightyOffQuilter responded to my plea by creating a pattern on her EQ7.
It was a challenge, I can tell you, particularly the two that have 256 1" squares............ You should be able to spot the blocks I made first as the points become more 'off', the longer I did it and the more I lost the will to live, lol.
Anyway - here it is. Thanks for looking!

My darling great NIECE is a Minecraft fanatic! Her older brother got her into it and I am thrilled as the game teaches so many great skills and she has really improved her computer skills and knowledge! I would love to make this for her!
I loved the way you organized your pieces.
Where did you get the safety pin/numbers? They are really neat!
I will have to start collecting the fabric for this. What are the dimensions of your quilt, if I may ask? Thank you

WOW this is awesome!!
I have Minecraft quilts on my Christmas 'to-do' list - my niece & nephew are totally obsessed with the game. I'm planning much simpler quilts than yours though, I'm just doing one big creeper face on each with random green squares behind it. (Creeper is the green guy in the top left corner of Knitette's quilt, for those of you not familiar with the game).
Your quilt is really making me re-think that plan, though, I like yours so much better than what I am planning! But I have to make 2 of them in twin size, plus about four other quilts for Christmas that I haven't even started yet. (eep) Maybe I'll stick to the simple quilts and make them pickaxe pillows for their birthdays or something! LOL
Really really well done, and it IS too bad this pattern can't be sold!
