I am making the Minecraft quilt of Kelli Fannin’s Minecraft sew along. When I was planning the quilt blocks, I thought it would be fun to make a more detailed Wolf. I also found it challenging to see if I am able to make a quilt pattern wich also contains strip quilting. So I dove into the Minecraft Wiki and Google Images to find lots of Wolf images and I came up with the following pattern. I am not so gifted as Kelli, so I don’t have such a detailed scheme as she always makes for assembling the quilt blocks. But I still think my scheme will also do the trick. So here we go!
The fabrics I used are all bought at Fabrics Hemmers. Below I listed the colours and fabrics I used for this quilt block.
