I love paper piecing. I do not do it nearly enough to be really good at it but this project should absolutely resolve that issue.
I am not a Harry Potter fan but I am not opposed to little guy either. I think it was a combination of things really. My son was too old to just sit and let me read to him but he wasn't old enough to take the books and read them himself. And then when the movies came out we were seriously watching every single penny and movies were never in our budget. Now he is almost seventeen and Harry Potter is sooo not cool. I may actually go online and see if there is a way to watch all the movies just so I can get a better feel for this project, we'll see.
Anyway, I have always had a love of books and libraries. I spent many, many, many days as a kid at our local library. I even picked the house we purchased a few years ago because of the built in bookcases in the formal living room. So, this project is right up my alley in that vein. I was not happy last night when I was finishing this block as I thought it was much too busy. But a quick text to Shirley for some constructive criticism proved to be just the ticket. She gave me some sound advice, which I followed, and now I am very happy with the finished product.
So without further a due (Insert drum roll here) I present block number one in the 2015 Project of Doom.
