Happy Wednesday! I'm back with another Harry Potter extra block today ~ this time it's Alastor Moody, aka Mad Eye Moody! He wasn't the easiest to configure but I'm happy with how he came out. 




He has just a few corner flips but mostly simple straight seams. Here's how he goes together. You'll need 13 colors. I think this is a record! Mad Eye has a lot of parts.




Part 1:

Right Lower Clip & Flip

1. Place square at lower end or right lower corner of rectangle or larger square, right sides together.
2. Stitch from right upper to left lower corner.
3. Clip, flip & press.




~Using above method, 1 1/2" sq. of Fabric B, and 3 1/2 x 4 1/2" rect. of Fabric A-long edge at the top, make one right lower corner clip & flip unit.




Left Lower Clip & Flip

1. Place square at lower end or left lower corner of rectangle or larger square, right sides together.
2. Stitch from left upper to right lower corner.
3. Clip, flip & press.




~Using above method, 1 1/2" sq. of Fabric B, and 3 1/2 x 6 1/2" rect. of Fabric A-long edge at the top, make one left lower corner clip & flip unit.




Double Upper Corners

1. Place a square at the left end or left upper corner of a rectangle or larger square, right sides together.
2. Stitch from right upper to left lower corner.
3. Clip, flip & press.
4. Place a square at the right end or right upper corner of a rectangle or larger square, right sides together.
5. Stitch from left upper corner to right lower corner.
6. Clip, flip & press.



~Using above method, (2) 1 1/2" sq. of Fabric A, and a 3 1/2 x 4 1/2" rect. of Fabric B-long edge at the top, make one double upper corner clip & flip unit. *Repeat for total of two of these units.




Assemble as shown below. Label as Part 1 and set aside.




Part 2:

~Using the right lower clip & flip method from Part 1 above, a 1 1/2" sq. of Fabric B, and a 3 1/2 x 4 1/2" rect. of Fabric A-short edge at the top, make one unit.

~Repeat using 1 1/2" sq. of Fabric C, and a 2 1/2 x 4 1/2" rect. of Fabric A-short edge at the top to make one unit.





Assemble as shown below. Label as Part 2 and set aside.

Block Assembly: Assemble block according to the diagram below. You will have an 18 1/2" (18" finished) Mad Eye Moody Block!








I feel like he was kind of complicated. But hopefully you don't find him too difficult or discouraging. He was definitely a bit difficult to draw and then get into an 18" block. He went through several variations. When I googled his characteristics, it said he had gray hair, but he just looked better with blonde hair and it looked blondish in the movies. So I guess your hair color will depend on whether you're a book purist, or are going by the movies.📚🎥

I hope you enjoy piecing him together! If you post any pics of your Mad Eye blocks on IG, be sure to tag them with #hpqal2019 (even though it's almost 2020-ha!) and #harrypotterquilt, or tag me @kellifanninquilts, so we can all find them! It's so much fun to see different versions of the same block. If you're just finding these blocks, you can find all of the Harry Potter blocks/tutorials (40 now!) on the sew along page *HERE*, or by clicking on the Harry Potter Sew Along button over in the right side bar. You can also see lots of blocks and finished quilts popping up in the facebook sew along group *HERE*. Come join us! 

I'll be back soon with another National Days Scrap Blocks tutorial.. there are some fun days coming up! Here's a clue➣🍋🍬 Can you guess? :D It has to do with family childhood memories so it's a fun addition to my scrap quilt.

Thanks for stopping by to meet Mad Eye! Hope you're having a great week! 

Happy Stitching!
