I have finished a charity quilt! My first finish for this year. Yippeeeee!
It was a kit from our guild, since this quilt will go to our Quilts from the Heart progrram. 30, 8.5inch blocks featuring a Harry Potter fabric. Looks easy, right - just sew the patches together and quilt it. Not! The patches were all different sizes, so I had to cut them down to 8.25inches. Then, as I was sewing them together, I discovered a yellow patch that was only 8 x 6 inches. I put everything away for a while so that I could think about this dilemma. That yellow fabric looked familiar. So I searched and searched through my stash and then my scraps. And eventually I found a small piece! I said a little prayer, ironed it and was able to cut an 8.25in. block from it. I am glad it is finished.

I'm glad you were able to come up with some yellow to make a new block...otherwise you would have been extra-frustrated!!! It looks nice all finished....good job!
You are making some child very happy!
What a lovely HP quilt! How things that seem easy can turn so difficult sometimes.
