Foundation paper piecing. My beginning...

My daughter loves Harry Potter among other things.(she is a Ravenclaw while I'm 100% Hufflepuff).  I kept seeing the Project of Doom bookshelf quilt on FandomInStitches.com.  So in September 2019 I started with some simple blocks, the crystal ball and books. I was hooked!!! 
I worked on the quilt top through March 2020. Sadly that is as far as I've gotten thanks to Covid-19 :(. I am hoping to get the rest of what I need so I can finish it up this summer yet.  It really grew and grew and grew and ended up much larger than I expected. But I love it and so does H!!

Here are a few of my favorite blocks. I love the pattern on the tea cup!!





And here is the finished quilt top in all of it's humungous glory!! So many things I love about this!! Working with H to decide which blocks to include, what fabrics, block placement. I learned A LOT along the way!!! The first 2 'pieces' I designed on my own are in this quilt top. An extension to Faulk's tail and the books that Hagrid's umbrella is sitting on.  They were pretty much done on the fly and I don't have them in an official pattern so we're going to leave them as one of a kind blocks.

I took some breaks in between but I'll save those for another post.  To check out these amazing patterns and so many more check out FandomInStitches.com

Adventures In Raw Edge Applique

So I tried something new, raw edge applique. In hindsight I should have started with a more simple pattern. But I loved this pattern and knew my daughter would absolutely love it. Here is a link to the first video in the series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iigK0KV3-w I loved learning this technique and will incorporate it in some projects in the future. Lisa is amazing at explaining different ways to implement this technique. I highly recommend checking out her channel!
