Seriously..I think it needs stitches.: Harry Potter Quilt: Flying Key

Hello and Happy Tuesday! It's been a bit since I've posted the next block tutorial for the Harry Potter sew along page. This is extra block #25! I love doing these quilt block tutorials but I've had some other stuff going on lately. Some new patterns coming, and also a smallish health thingy that's been a bit trying at times. 😒 More on that another day. For TODAY, it's the Flying Key!

It just has two small clip & flip corners and the rest all squares and rectangles!

Here's the how-to for the Flying Key quilt block..

Fabric A (background):
(7) 1 1/2" sq. (*)

And that does it for the Flying Key quilt block tutorial! I haven't decided which one to do next.. I'll take a look and move one up to next in line.

I'll be linking the PDF *HERE*, and then linking this post to the Harry Potter sew along page, where you can find all of the block links so far. 20 blocks from the original quilt, and then all of these extras. If you make any of these blocks and post on Instagram, come find me @kellifanninquilts, and use the #s, #hpqal2019 and #harrypotterquilt. I'd love to see them! You can find links to all of the sew along info for this and also the Minecraft and Pokemon sew alongs *HERE*. If you'd like to see lots of quilts and blocks you can also come join my FB sew along group! There are lots of kind and helpful quilters there.

Thanks for popping in to read! Be back soon!

Happy Stitching!
