Signature block.

If you have been sewing along on any of the Quilt Along events, you will have seen that some of the designers releasing a signature block during the event.

What is a signature block?

It is a block, that you can sew and embroider with your details on it. You can use this as your quilt label and you can send this block to the designer, who collects all of these blocks from all over the world to make into a memory quilt for themselves.

Do I have to make one?

Absolutely not. This is a special request, and is not compulsory at all. We would love to get one though, it makes such a nice memory to add into a quilt.

What do I do?

Download the pattern. Sew it up. And embroider / stencil your name, where you are from and the #FBQAL2 somewhere on the block and send it off to the address that is printed on the pattern. Easy peazy.

Fantastic Beasts Layout and Design Invitational

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.

Queen Sized Bed Quilt

Twin Sized Bed Quilt

Crib Sized Bed QuiltCrib Sized Bed Quilt


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.

Fantastic Beasts Quilt Along - Week 11

Welcome to week eleven of our Fantastic Beasts Quilt Along!

Block descriptions from text by J.K. Rowling. Learn more at Pottermore 
& from Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them.

For general information and fabric requirements, please look at the bottom of the post, below the patterns.

Block 51

Knarl - Level 3

10 x 10 inch paper pieced pattern excluding seam allowance

Designed and Tested by Vanda Chittenden

The Knarl (northern Europe and America) is usually mistaken for a hedgehog by Muggles. The two species are indeed indistinguishable except for one important behavioral difference: If food is left out in the garden for a hedgehog, it will accept and enjoy the gift; if food is offered to a Knarl, on the other hand, it will assume that the householder is attempting to lure it into a trap and will savage that householder’s garden plants or garden ornaments. Many a Muggle child has been accused of vandalism when an offended Knarl was the real culprit.

 Block 52

Bowtruckle - Level 2

10 x 10 Inch paper pieced pattern excluding seam allowance

Designed by Vanda Chittenden
Tested by Amber Lowery

The Bowtruckle is a tree-guardian creature found mainly in the west of England, southern Germany, and certain Scandinavian forests. It is immensely difficult to spot, being small (maximum eight inches in height) and apparently made of bark and twigs with two small brown eyes. The Bowtruckle, which eats insects, is a peaceable and intensely shy creature but if the tree in which it lives is threatened, it has been known to leap down upon the woodcutter or tree-surgeon attempting to harm its home and gouge at their eyes with its long, sharp fingers. An offering of woodlice will placate the Bowtruckle long enough to let a witch or wizard remove wand-wood from its tree.

Block 53

Occamy - Level 4

10 x 10 inch Paper pieced pattern excluding seam allowance

Designed and Tested by Vanda Chittenden

The Occamy is found in the Far East and India. A plumed, two-legged winged creature with a serpentine body, the Occamy may reach a length of fifteen feet. It feeds mainly on rats and birds, though has been known to carry off monkeys. The Occamy is aggressive to all who approach it, particularly in defense of its eggs, whose shells are made of the purest, softest silver.

Block 54

Demiguise - Level 4

10 x 10 inch paper pieced pattern excluding seam allowance

Designed and Tested by

The Demiguise is found in the Far East, though only with great difficulty, for this beast is able to make itself invisible when threatened, and can be seen only by wizards skilled in its capture. The Demiguise is a peaceful herbivorous beast, something like a graceful ape in appearance, with large, black, doleful eyes more often than not hidden by its hair. The whole body is covered with long, fine, silky, silvery hair. Demiguise pelts are highly valued as the hair may be spun into Invisibility Cloaks.

Block 55

Kappa - Level 4

10 x 10 Inch paper pieced pattern excluding seam allowance

Designed and Tested by Vanda Chittenden

The Kappa is a Japanese water demon that inhabits shallow ponds and rivers. Often said to look like a monkey with fish scales instead of fur, it has a hollow in the top of its head in which it carries water. The Kappa feeds on human blood but may be persuaded not to harm a person if it is thrown a cucumber with that person’s name carved into it. In confrontation, a wizard should trick the Kappa into bowing – if it does so, the water in the hollow of its head will run out, depriving it of all its strength.

Stars

Stars

2 x 2" excluding seam allowance

Paper Pieced

Designed by Vanda Chittenden

Tested by Amber Lowery

Once put together the sashing will be 2 x 10" excluding seam allowance

It is your choice where you want your stars to show up. Example below.

The layout at the end of the quilt along, allows for the stars to be on any side of each beast. 

Or just leave the stars out, it is absolutely your choice.
