I've never been a fan of the Harry Potter franchise, primarily because I don't care for anything that depicts cruelty toward children as entertainment. Magic in any way shape or form isn't plausible to me. The humor in this franchise seems rather heartless to me, too. Thus the very last kind of fabric I want to use is Harry Potter fabric, so of coure I got a yard of it in my junk shop fabric bag.
All tragic fabric can still be used, even when you don't like it. It works perfectly as foundation fabric for crazy quilt patchwork.
I covered the Harry Potter fabric block with some scrap batting, leaving a wide margin all the way around (this is so I can sew the edges to a backing fabric without having to change to a walking foot on my machine.)
Here I'm using scraps from the baby quilt I'm working on to cover the piece. Always keep your scraps handy and reuse them if you can.
The finished patchwork.
Here's the block with the backing fabric sewn on. You can't see a hint of the Harry Potter fabric, but it still helped me make this. I'll use this as a stitch practice piece, and then I'll probably use it in place of bubble wrap when I send a package to someone.
