Harry Potter Quilt: Fluffy
You guys! I didn't even know the three-headed dog's name. I just always called it the three-headed dog. BUT..thanks to Amy W. and my 13 y.o., I now know his name is Fluffy! Meet quilty Fluffy, extra block #11 in the Harry Potter Sew Along.
I tried a few times in the beginning to draw Fluffy but just couldn't get it to work out. But the other day, I thought I'd give it a go again, and this is the result!
Fluffy uses five colors, and is really pretty simple. If you've been following along, you're probably a clipping & flipping pro by now, and I think he'll go together fairly easily.
Let's start the cutting!
