Harry Potter nine patch

I love how this quilt turned out!  (I think that about a lot of the quilts.  But nevertheless, this one is no exception.)

The pattern is Urban Nine Patch on Point by Jenny Pedigo of Sew Kind of Wonderful.  The colors correspond to the different house colors in Harry Potter.  (There are several different links with slightly different colors, but I used this one.)  I didn't want the quilt to scream Harry Potter though, so I put the colors in the blocks and mixed up the houses.

I used the following Kona colors:

background: steel
inner background: dove
Gryffindor: Chinese Red and Papaya
Slytherin: Shale and Holly
Ravenclaw: Pacific and Gold
Hufflepuff: Citrus and Black

I went a bit crazy on the quilting.  In the background it's a star stipple - pretty easy.  In the nine patch, the corner colors have a tiny stipple and the other color has some curved lines (using a ruler).  The thread color always matched the fabric color.

Where the blocks met I did some more curves with the ruler, still matching the color of the triangle the curve went through.  If I had to do it again, I'd change this part.  I think it was a lot of extra work for not a lot of coolness...although it does make an interesting pattern and I'm still happy with how it turned out.

Update Oct '21

Well, it's been a very while since I've done a progress update, again.  But the kids are back in school now and I have a bit more time.  I know these aren't super exciting, but they help a ton in keeping me organized.

1. Blue facets.  This just needs a few more threads tied and the binding put on.  It is creating a lot of little fluffies right now since it was cut to size, so I didn't open it up for the picture.

2. Harry Potter-esque.  This has been a bit more fun to piece than I was expecting.  Three blocks down, seven in-progress, and eight not started.

3. Scrap quilt. I found some similar grey thread to finish this up, but it hasn't gotten back on the quilter yet.

4. Fabric from Christmas.  Threads need to be buried and a binding added.  I'm close!

5. Trying to fit in - left over triangles. The top was finished!  I then put it away and forgot about it.  The quilter just opened up though, so maybe this would be a nice short one to put on.

6. Scrap bee blocks 2017: All finished, just needs pictures.  Still.  Wow.  It still needed pictures with my last update.  I really need to get on taking finishing pictures.

7. Black scrap quilt.  This needs pictures.

8. Winter quilt.  After much debate, I think I decided it was good as-is and doesn't need any borders.  I'll probably re-evaluate that though, since I can't remember for sure now.  

9. Temperature quilt.  I need to quilt this.  It's from 2017, so it's rather low on the priority list.

Well, I'm pretty happy with nine items on this list.  After some lists with 22 items it feels rather skimpy.
