Project of Doom Week 30, Final Block!

[ofenjen]

This is it! I can hardly believe it.

On January 12 of this year, we embarked on a journey together. You gave me your time and attention and rode out the rough patches in the beginning as we worked through sizing and printing issues. You posted your photos to flickr and participating in a friending meme. The experienced quilters in our group adopted those less experienced and in need of fabric. We made friends. We laughed. We waited for Deathly Hallows part 2 together. With the generosity of your donations, I mailed out 7 monthly prizes to lucky winners and was thrilled at each of their responses.

We, in short, lived the last eight months together, meeting twice a week; once for sharing, and once for the excitement of a new pattern. It has been my great honor to share The Project of Doom with you. hp_paperpiecing will continue to exist, but as I have said in the past, the PoD is my last big HP quilting project.

I dedicate every block of this project to you. Every hour of planning. Every moment of scrutinizing lines until my eyes watered to make sure each block was as perfect as I could make it.

This is for us, so we remember what it was like to be a Harry Potter fan, right here, right now.

Always.

Reminder: If you DO NOT want to see the block before you make the pattern in order to keep it a mystery, please do not click on the cut! If you leave a comment, you will be taken behind the cut and will see the block...just FYI!





I'm not exactly sure what made me choose this block for Week 30. Perhaps it's the very Harry Potter-ish-ness of it. When I think of Bertie Bott's, I think of Harry's first train ride to Hogwarts, of sharing his sweets with Ron and of a friendship that would last, not just through seven books, but a lifetime.

Just like Bertie Bott's, life is, to some degree, all about risk. To paraphrase my favorite Marauder, the risk is what makes it fun. Just try to avoid the ear wax flavored beans...
