What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I'm working on making 4 different Harry Potter quilts.  You've seen the blocks for the full Harry Potter: Project of Doom bookcase quilts that I've been working on.  I just finished paper piecing the last 4 blocks for the bookcase portion of those quilts.  Woohoo!  I do still have LOTS of embroidery left to do on those quilt blocks (lots of book titles).

Fandom in Stitches (where these blocks came from) is having a 10th Anniversary Multi-Fandom Bookcase Quilt Along. Unfortunately, they are doing all of the participation on Facebook, not on the blog.  I'm not on Facebook (and won't be).  

If you decide ...

I have 4 more blocks to paper piece.  All of these blocks will have book titles embroidered on them.  That will give me hand work for a while.

 I've been doing deep cleaning in my house, so I don't have much to show for the past week or so.  I did finish the embroidery on 4 more Harry Potter: Project of Doom blocks.

I'm pausing on making more of these blocks, since I have a few other things to make that have deadlines.  One is a baby quilt for our newest grandbaby that is due in late April.  I prepped all of ...

 Well, blogger won't let me revert back to the old style format anymore.  Why do all these techy companies seem to think that if it works, it must be changed and made more difficult.  Weren't computers supposed to make things easier for everyone, not harder and more time consuming?  Oh well.

I washed the chalk markings out on the Beyond Borders hand quilted quilt. I washed the quilt three times, treating it with OxiClean.  There are still a few faint color marks left, but I gave up washing it.
