Supplemental Saturday - Disney Edition

by Kristi Lehane
tested by Lesley Diedrich
12" x 15" paper pieced
A group of our talented Fandom in Stitches designers have been conspiring on a project to supplement The Project of Doom, our Harry Potter Bookcase Quilt!

These awesome ladies have created a whole slew of Disney-themed patterns that can be used as stand-alone blocks for small projects, additions for your favorite quilt layout, or mix & match with the original 10" Project of Doom patterns to make your own fun fandom bookcase quilt.

Look for these PoD Supplements on many Saturdays to come!

Fantastic Beasts Layout and Design Invitational

blog logo.jpg

Welcome to our final week of the  Fantastic Beasts Quilt Along!

Fantastic Beasts 
& Magical Creatures
PATTERN ARCHIVE 

In this post we have the layout and the invitational blocks below. And the announcement of our winner for the invitational.

 The colors for the quilt layout is Cranberry, Blue and Gold. These are the colors for Ilvermorny, the North American wizarding school. Even though the school has 4 houses, all the students wear the same colors. Please feel free to use your own color choices. 


For the full layout instructions please click on the picture below.

Jennifer Rowles have made an example of the quilt top for me. Instead of the starred sashing she put a star in the yellow corner pieces. I really think it turned out pretty awesome.




The one thing I need to mention, is that I originally planned to make only 10 x 10" blocks. So how do you add in the 10 x 20" blocks?
First you need to add 2" background fabric to your 10 x 20" block on either end. Or 1.5" background to both ends of the block to make it fit into the space of 2 other blocks. The background fabric is filling in the space that would have been sashing in between to of the blocks.  I will show how to do this in the full layout instruction that you will be downloading.



And now for the design invitational.
Here is what some of our awesome designers have come up with for the invitational.

Signature Block Pattern.

If you've participated in events like this with us before, then you know about  the signature blocks! I'd like to invite everyone participating in the 2016 Fantastic Beasts Quilt Along to share a block for a special 2016 Signature Quilt. This quilt is my way of remembering everyone that quilted along in 2016.

You can send your signature block at any time, you do not need to finish the whole quilt first.

Hand or machine embroidery, printed fabric, fabric pen, marker, or stenciled with fabric paint/pen, etc. are all acceptable. Please, no iron-on or transfers.

You can use any scraps from your bins for this block. 


 

Starts next week!

Goblin King: A Labyrinth Quilt & Stitch Along is a collaborative event with patterns designed by many of our awesome Fandom in Stitches Designers, hosted by Jennifer Ofenstein. Patterns will post weekly January 4 through May 2017. Each week, participants will have the choice of a paper pieced or embroidered block, or mix & match as desired!

2016 has been a difficult year for Fandom. As we grieve, we'd like to invite you to honor two of our beloved lost celebrities the best way we know how: with quilts.

We invite you to participate as we remember George Michael & Carrie Fisher by designing and sharing your own themed quilt patterns to be posted on fandominstitches.com.

Any size, any design style (hand embroidered, applique, paper pieced...) is welcome. 

George Michael-inspired patterns are due on January 13 and will be posted on January 14, 2017.
Carrie Fisher-inspired patterns are due on January 20 and will be posted on January 21, 2017.

Would you like to remember another celebrity from a fandom you love? Please feel free to do so anytime and we will share your pattern as quickly as we can.


Please use the names of the respective person as the fandom represented when filling out the form.

As always, all Fandom in Stitches patterns are fan-created and free for personal & non-profit use only.

This is the end: Design Invitational patterns post tomorrow!
