Bebe and AIR quilt Update - Final squares

So a few final blocks to finish up and I'm trying to figure out the right layout for all the blocks before I sew it all together.  I've decided to try quilting as you go to bind it following THIS youtube demo.
AIR's quilt would not be complete without something with a nod to The Phantom of The Opera.  Designed by Michelle Thompson for this project





The Cornish Pixie came out right before I had gotten to the end.  I love how this one turned out, but learned the lesson in needing to differentiate with more contrast because my colors really blended too much.

My first (and only to date) pattern.  Try as I might i could not find any polar bear patterns, so I printed off a picture I found via google, and made this little guy.  He was so sad and woebegone I just love him.

Sherlock's violin (which was handy since she loves Sherlock and she plays violin, and more paint tubes.

Bebe's Multifandom quilt

So - progress on Bebe's quilt.....Here's the first 10

I borrowed the fishbowl from THIS pattern, and then replaced the fish with Dory  (sized down) since it made more sense for Bebe.  I didn't get the water lined up exact, but I don't think it was an issue at all.  I started with the fish (drawing the water line around it since the original pattern didn't really have any lines) and then incorporated that central piece (you can kind of see it in the picture) into the fishbowl pattern.



I incorporated two Beauty and the Beast references on her quilt - Chip (the teacup) and the Rose under cloche.  Both from FiS


Alice in Wonderland's cat Dinah was always a fascinating cat!  Bebe has a real affinity for cats in general so it doubles in meaning for her.  I need to do the stitching still.



Minions Minions Minions - Can I say I love that she's still not too old to enjoy these minions?  Sewed pattern as is in size, and then propped him on a box to fill the square a bit.  The felix felicis vial is also an extra HP pattern from the FiS site.

Probably one of the hardest patterns to date - this Mandrake takes a LOT of time and patience.  Sewn as is on pattern - there is no pot, so the pot here is added by yours truly. Pattern from the Fis extras.
