    Looks like 14 blocks across, plus 2 borders about the same size as the blocks. 65"/16 = 4", so you would cut your squares 4.5"

    What size squares do you think these are? Any thoughts?
    My guess would be that it was made with 5" blocks - maybe a charm pack - finishing at 4 1/2" each. It is 14 across and 16 down. If you start with 6" blocks (5 1/2" finished) it will be 77" x 99" plus your border, so 81" x 103". This will give you a drop of approximately 14" on each side. You could always make a 4" border if you want more of a drop on the sides and take off one row from the bottom so that you have a drop of 14" at the foot of the bed. (Don't take one off if you are going to go over the pillow, with a tuck, with the quilt.) Ann

    Oh, this is cute, I might have to borrow this idea! My niece & nephew are both obsessed with this game. Would be a cute gift for them!

    I also know kids that are obsessed with Minecraft. I never thought of doing quilts for them (duh). Thanks for this thread - something else for my never-ending list!

    Another question. How many total yards do you think this will take for a full size? The one in the pix posted from above website? Thanks everyone for your help!!!

    Oh, I'd be interested, too. My 13 year old grandson is a huge Minecraft Creeper fan. I made him a Creeper (out of green fleece), a Steve (blue, brown, white fleece), and a ....hmmm, I've forgotten the name, but it's a villain, long armed and long legged, out of black fleece. He loves them all. I know he'd love a quilt, too.

    I couldn't open this page with my daughter in the room

    I plan to use a cross stitch pattern and do simple blocks. I want to pull all of the floss colors and take them to select the fabric colors.

    I'm in no rush to start it...

    If i make one, there will be about 4 other kids asking too. So i keep debating what to do. I might just make a bunch of bags so everyone gets something.
