I found a site with tons of free paper pieced Harry Potter designs...my daughter is a huge fan...I would like to make her a quilt but don't know enough about the series...can you all look at this site and tell me what blocks you would want in a quilt if you were getting a Harry Potter quilt? Thank you all...Donna

Great patterns. I've read and enjoyed all the books.
I 'd start with these:
1. Hedwig
2. Harry's Glasses
3. Hagrid's hut
4. The Sorting Hat
I liked the HP and Snitch one as well.
The 4 House Crests are kinda neat.

Thanks...and thanks for the suggestions...I appreciate the help! As far as it being a lot of work..I plan on enlarging the blocks to at least 6"...maybe even 8"....I think if I plan on a 8" block every 2 or 3 nights, then I can get this done...!!! Thanks...Donna

thank you for the link. I have all of the books and have seen all of the movies. my friend and I are in our late 50's but we just love Harry. Gotta make me a Harry Potter wall hanging. (love that the patterns are paper pieced as this is my new quilting obsession).
