The Harry Potter Quilt
Now that this quilt has been gifted I can finally post about it. Harry Potter holds a spot in our hearts in this family. Both my children were avid fans, and we give credit to the first book for turning my son into a reader. I bought the book and started reading a chapter a night to the kids, but after 3 or 4 chapters my son was too impatient to wait until bedtime and picked up the book to finish it himself. My daughter has incorporated the Harry Potter theme into a memorial tattoo for her brother. So when I ran across these Harry Potter themed fabrics at Lens Mill I immediately started thinking about how I could incorporate them into a quilt for Daughter. I ended up choosing 5 prints; one with the Hogwarts crest, one with the individual house crests, a Marauder's Map one, one with various Potter themed items and one of the Daily Prophet, the HP newspaper. I used the same basic layout as I did for Algonquin and Dragonflies ; 25 patch squares alternating with themed squares
