Minecraft Quilt Letters: D-F Tutorials
Hi, everyone! Happy Weekend!
A few Instagram friends have offered to test different letter blocks for me, but I still don't have testers for all of them. So I thought, if you need any of these letters, maybe you could be my testers. :D
I'm 99.9% sure all of the measurements are correct, and would test them myself, but I don't want to end up with an entire Minecraft alphabet of letter blocks, when I only need 6 of them for my son's name. :/
So I decided to go ahead and start posting the tutorials, so if anyone else is putting a name on their Minecraft quilt front or back, or making a cushion, they could get on with it, instead of waiting for me to find testers for each letter. :D
Here are the next three Minecraft font quilt letter tutorials. If you find any errors, please let me know right away so I can correct it. I appreciate your help!

Love the quilt so far> I am making it for my grandson. Any Chance of getting letters N & T? Would love to include my grandson name. ETHAN.
The PDF link for letters D-F is not working!
Thanks!
Helen
Thank you so much for posting these on Pinterest! I was struggling with what to do with y grandsons quilt where I made a twin size Creeper but was stuck with the backing. I then saw all your patterns and decided to make it into a double sided quilt which I know he is going to just scream over. Your directions are so easy to follow and I am enjoying all these so much. Thanks again.
