HP for HB

 Miss H is reading Harry Potter in her class and I found a 5 pack of fat quarter Harry Potter fabric at WalMart.  I bought the 4 fat quarter packs that were at the store and used my go to pattern Turning Twenty from Tricia Cribbs to make the quilt.  The quilt finished at 71" x 86".  It is backed with a cuddle flannel.  Its not an heirloom quilt but it is meant to be used and loved.  Perhaps while reading the book.

Finished at 71" x 86"

HP (what Miss H calls Harry Potter)
The backing is a much darker red than the photo shows.

Under Sedona Stars

 I saw the Desert Oasis fabric line & knew I had to purchased some and make something with it.  The fabrics reminded me so much of our trip to Sedona Arizona several years ago.  Desert Oasis is by Laura Muir of Create Joy Project for Moda & I had purchased the layer cake from Sunflower Quilt Co. & some yardage from Jordan Fabrics.  The background fabric is Universe by Adrian Chesterman & Northcott Studio (KDP24860-54) https://northcott.com/product-detail.aspx?fbid=18&colid=2850&colorid=3844.  I had some fabric in my stash that I had purchased from The Stitching Room in Utah that worked for the backing. I cut the stripe fabric (Desert Oasis Spruce) on the bias for the binding and love the way it looks on the quilt!

The pattern was Brightly by Cluck Cluck Sew which I had just used for the last quilt & wanted to use the pattern again in a different fabric line.  I am very happy with the way this one turned out.  I added 3 borders to the pattern, you know I love borders!  The quilt ended up being approximately 80" x 93". I named it "Under Sedona Stars".

I hope you are all enjoying this mild autumn weather (at least here in central Utah) and are thinking about all those wonderful gifts you want to make for those special people in your lives for Christmas.

Until we meet again, Find Joy in Your Journey.
