PROJECT OF DOOM or from now on POD (but still add the echo)is a Harry Potter bookcase quilt-along designed by Jennifer over at Fandom in Stitches. The quilt is amazing, and the designs simply magical...what every Harry Potter fan needs in their life. But that's just it...I am not a huge Harry Potter fan! I mean I don't hate it and have shared the books with my kids... but if I was going to get all giddy and fan-girl it would not be over a boy wizard and his friends. Now a man in a Blue box....that would be another thing.
Being a breaker of rules but wanting to still have all fun of a shared quilt- along I have decided to make a POD mash up quilt, all of the fandom's and obsessions both myself, and my kids, had when they were little...and quite a few from now. I love the structure of the bookcase but want to fill the shelves with my memories and mementos.
Nearly all of the patterns have come from the brilliant Fandom in Stitches site. I am amazed at the creativity of the designers and their generosity in posting up their patterns for free...truly the internet at its best. My real difficulty has been what to leave out rather than what to add.
Here are a few of my blocks so far;
Looking good! I must be a bit behind!
