Today, I loaded my Harry Potter bookcase quilt onto the quilt machine. It was rather a brave thing to do since it already had some quilting done on it and I am not great with free motion. But this quilt has been in the works for YEARS! I want it finished! For those of you who are not familiar with the Pattern. It can be found at Fandom in Stitches and it is all free.

I am rather happy with my meandering and my pages of the books.

I wanted the background to look like bricks or stone, but I ended up making my bricks too large I think and the thread matches too well. You can’t really see them.

Love the wavy grid on the “Carpet”.

And, when I took it off the longarm, I saw that I had forgotten to do the cauldron and potion. I had big plans, but it was not worth loading it on the longarm again so plain boring quilting will have to do…I did a serpentine stitch in the potion and just some basic outlines on the cauldron.
