1st FMQ & Harry Potter Paper Pieced Quilt finally finished
 

A few years ago I started paper-piecing, and designed my first block (Philosopher's Stone). Eventually, I decided to do a Harry Potter quilt of all original designs to represent the books. I'm thrilled to finally have finished it. It seemed like the endless project that was never going to done! But I'm really pleased with it now and happy to have a completed Harry quilt.

The Harry quilt is only my 3rd quilt that I've attempted FMQ on. The first one was the border on the Jane Stickle lap quilt. And my 2nd FMQ attempt was the 3D Pinwheel hearts and name (Emily) in the center.

I think I did a bit better this time on the Harry quilt. I regular quilted around the castle and between the columns, then used FMQ to stitch in the ditch on all of the blocks and text, and then FMQ an echo around everything. I still haven't learned any stippling yet, but maybe on some easier quilts to come.

Sorry the pictures are out of order, but couldn't figure out how to fix that.

Your quilts are great, especially the Harry Potter quilt! You did a stupendous job on it!

I just looked at your patterns. They are very intricate, you could/should probably sell them! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

SeaTea, WOW!!!! That looks like the perfect quilt for my DGD. Thank you very much!

Great job.Love your Harry Potter and so does DGD

They are all great!! The Harry Potter is wonderful. Love your FM :)

Really unique and cool. Love the quilt

only one word WOW

It came out great.

All the quilts are very nice,, but Harry is special, that one is FANTASTIC. Thanks for sharing .

great job on all of them. I love the Harry Potter one.

Wow, all the work you put in on the Harry Potter quilt is just mind boggling. How wonderful of you to develop a website and share all your PP block patterns for it. Your vision is very true to the stories. I loved the HP series and was sad when the last book came out. JK Rowling really knows how to spin a good yarn and you really know how to design a great quilt. Thank you so much for sharing.

Just terrific quilts, great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

Beautiful quilts.

Harry Potter is great. Love the castle.

You did a wonderful job on all of them and the Harry Potter quilt is fabulous.

I think you are doing great!

Your work is fabulous!! Especially love the Harry Potter quilt.

WOW! isn't enough said for Harry Potter. Enter it in some shows. I can see ribbons ribbons ribbons. Thanks for sharing.

Oh my goodness! I can't even imagine what went into the HP quilt. My grandson would love it, and as much as I love him, I'm not going to offer to do one for him. Nor will I offer to pay you what that's worth. I hope you enter it in major quilt shows.

They are all so great!!!!!

Beautiful quilts and quilting!!!

I would buy a pattern from you if they were available, my son and granddaughter love Harry Potter!!!!!

I will be adding the HP one to my list :)

They are all great, but WOW the Harry Potter one is really special.

What a work of love! I love it! I am sure you can market the Hogwarts quilt as a block of month to shops. At least package and sell as a booklet. Have you contacted any quilt book companies yet? Or self publish! Just a thought. Luann in CT

Wow that Harry Potter one is fantastic! Like the other ones as well.

They all are wonderful. I am a bi Harry Potter fan so of course I spent a long time looking at all the individual blocks, so cool.

WOW! you have been very busy

Great job on both quilts. I like the variations you did in the pinwheel quilt.

OMGoodness! Love the Harry Potter quilt-did you design any of the blocks yourself I know I've seen some of them on another website but not all of them. It is outstanding!!!!

Beautiful, and creative :)

Thanks to everyone for the nice compliments. Yes, I designed all of the Harry blocks from scratch using Quilt Assistant. Then I created the Castle layout in Electric Quilt. I've never entered a quilt into a show before, actually I've never been to a quilt show, and right now I'm just enjoying it on the bed. As far as the patterns go, they're all free to download at the site in my signature. I'll probably try and convert the patterns to PDFs eventually. Right right now I really need a break from tiny pieces. The blocks are all 5 inch squares, and the piece number per block varies from 30 something to over 100 pieces per block. I'm working on the Beach Cottages pattern I bought a while back right now. And I'll probably do some scrap quilts to clean up my stash, something quick and easy. I really get inspired seeing all the absolutely wonderful quilts on the board! I've been reading and taking lots of notes for new ideas.

Your quilts are all wonderful but that HP quilt is just all around awesome!

HP quilt is brilliant! You captured everything. This was truly a labor of love and we are all grateful that you finished it!

I loved your site too. You did a wonderful job in each of your block designs and really captured the books. Thank you

Those quilts are all.....oh, wow!

: )

Great job, love the potter quilt.

Wow, Wow and did I say Wow?

All are amazing, but the HP is jawdropping! Congrats on your fine work!
