Ta da....secret project revealed

Well, I can now finally show what I was working on so diligently last weekend. I get these crazy ideas, and it is always last minute. After all was said and done, I probably spent over 24 hours on this little brain storm. The reason I had to wait so long, Candice got hers on Wednesday, but Catie didn't get hers until today.
At my last quilt club, the leader (my friend Colleen) showed us these adorable paper pieced blocks that she got off of a free site. So, I got the idea to make them for my girls and put them on a bag, for trick or treating, for carrying things or just for enjoying....
I went on the site, which is Freequiltpatterns.info and went to the paper pieced patterns and low and behold, there was an entire Harry Potter array of quilt blocks. That decided it, because my girls are not just Harry Potter fans, but Harry Potter freaks and have been at bookstores on more than one occasion at midnight to get the new releases. Catie's house dressed up last fall for the incoming freshman as Harry Potter, complete with glasses, ties, and brooms.
So, in the course of three days, I made these blocks and sewed them on to canvas bags:
I put this "HP" symbol with the snitch on one side of the bags.
This was so obviously for Catie. She is a Hedwig fan and loves owls.
This is Trevor the toad, Neville Longbottom's magical creature, and is on Candice's bag. She is a huge Neville fan.
By the way, Chuck picked these out for the girls because they are united in their mutual HP admiration. I just executed the idea.
I also included mucho candy, an adorable pair of Witch socks, a homemade card and these disasters:
They are supposed to be brooms and the idea was a good one, but the chocolate and the peanut butter chips did not cooperate in their melting. Candice said as soon as her roommate saw the cookies, she thought they were brooms, so maybe not a total disaster.
Stay tuned for my Halloween costume for tonight's monthly Bunco game.
