Ron Weasley's blanket/quilt

 I finished the Ron Weasley Blanket-inspired quilt.  Here are some up close pictures of my really awful quilting...I followed designs that I printed up from online pictures, mixed with free motion waves.  I have never been great at free motion quilting and tracing these patterns with my long arm was just as bad.  However, I am happy with the quilt.  It is going to be a great sofa quilt.

  

I think Ron and Harry would approve.  

I did very little crochet this weekend but am plugging along...

Blue/bright granny square will be a lap blanket.  The granny rectangle will be another lap blanket and the square is one for the Ron Weasley crochet blanket.  

Very happy to have had the long weekend to work on this quilt and have a finish.  So many more to go...

Mischief Managed

 

I got the Ron Weasley Blanket-inspired quilt top put together.  Then I searched and searched for a piece of flannel that I KNOW I HAVE- white with the HP characters on it.  Can't find it anywhere!!!

I have other HP fabrics I could use but I really wanted flannel...I know I will find it-after I finish this quilt probably!

Here's some more views...

Here is the next project I cut out so that it can eventually serve as another leader and ender- simple Irish chain so once I have the 3 square units made with strip sets, I can sew them as L&E.  

Much accomplished for a Sunday, though I have ignored many chores that need to be done...

Weekend sewing- Friday Night with Friends

 

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to sew on Friday night as planned- nothing is working as planned so far for the New Year...

I did get some time yesterday though.

I started a spur of the moment idea for a leader's and enders project.  Tested these and will finish getting it cut out today, hopefully.  I am putting lots of UFOs together so need Leaders and Enders for between rows etc.  

I love bees and have quite a collection of bee fabric.  Two other bee quilts in the works.

I got two more Weasley Blanket blocks crocheted on Thursday.  

I did go purchase more yarn a few days ago so that I would have enough variety of accurate colors.  

These one color blocks take just a few minutes and I love doing them.  They are relaxing and I feel like I am making progress.  

I hope I will have a quilt top to show by the end of today, as well as a new outlook for the New Year.  Focusing on recentering and reorganizing from the crazy start I have had to 2022.  

Happy sewing!
