Come back next weekend to make Hagrid! I've been looking forward to that one, too! Can't wait!



If you post your pics on social media, don't forget to tag them with #hpqal2019 and #harrypotterquilt and head over to @sewfreshquilts to see which block is being released there this week. Also if you haven't joined the sew along's FB group yet, come on over and join to see how people are tweaking and editing their own blocks, and coming up with their own additions. I love it! I've seen "9 3/4", Dobby, Luna, and maybe one or two more that I can't remember right now. It's so much fun! You're all so creative! I can't believe we are almost done with 20 blocks!

See you next week! Happy Stitching!

xoxo
