Thank you Harry Potter

Jack 1

The pattern for this quilt can be found here (Jack's Blocks pattern)


This quilt was designed and created for one of my little nephews.  His sister received her quilt over a month ago and I hear he has been patiently waiting for his.  (which reminds me… I never photographed his sister’s quilt.) 

My sis-in-law chose the fabrics (love them!) and found an inspiration quilt for me to use.  I really love how this quilt turned out.  I hope Jack does!

And why did I title this post “Thank you Harry Potter” you ask?  Because this quilt has been waiting for it’s binding for a few weeks.  I had the binding machine stitched to the front of the quilt but I didn’t have the time to sit and do the hand stitching to the back…  that is until my son decided to re-watch all of the Harry Potter movies.  We are eagerly awaiting the final movie and I thought his Harry Potter movie festival idea was a good one.  So I sat and finished this binding while watching The Sorcerer’s Stone. 

Thank you Harry Potter.  I have a feeling you will be helping me finish several quilt bindings in the next week.

  1. wow I love this one! the colours just work with the balance of the squares! I find working with browns really difficult at times but they work really well with the light greens and aqua tones in your quilt.

  2. I agree with you about the color brown. Not usually one of my favorite colors to work with, but it is great in this quilt.
