Mail's Here Monday!

This week we got more fun blocks!  I love seeing the purples that come in.  (just in case you're wondering - we're going to shelve them in gradients, allowing for a subtle ombre to happen in the background!)

AIR's multifandom update

So life happened, and I find myself rushing now to get my ducks in a row - Here's more of AIR's quilt for Christmas.

One of the first non-Harry related pieces.  I wasn't as attentive to the exact nature needed to line things up properly, but it came together.

"Every adventure requires a first step. Trite, but true, even here" ~Cheshire Cat

Jack Sparrow is another of those pay attention patterns!  (see that left cheek where it meets the hair?  Yeah I actually went back and fixed it after assembling this whole block - I'll have to find the fix it picture)

Homage to Sherlock

Another Amazing pattern made by Michelle Thompson for this project!  Isn't she amazing!  The original pattern just has her sitting on her broom, so I drew in the block below (which was pretty easy).  

Totoro - Another Michelle Thompson Pattern - He is everything wonderful!  

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.

The original PoD

So my first ever piecing quilt.  Please forgive the awful photos.
