Horntail Dragon

I must be a hyperactive quilter.  I have so many projects in the works!  My newly pinned quilt awaits, but I have set it aside for yet another new project!

Let me explain!  I belong to a Facebook group called the Project of Doom.  This group posts pictures and comments about the Harry Potter BOOKCASE quilt.  I have been working on the Harry Potter CASTLE quilt, but have been posting my pics in the PoD group.  I was politely asked not to post these pics in this group and several other groups were suggested to me as a means of sharing the castle quilt blocks.  So I stopped posting my pics.  But it was noted that "I do nice work."  Shortly after this, I received an invitation to join another group.  A PATTERN TESTING group.  This lady designed a beautiful dragon pattern and wanted people to test the pattern, identifying any errors, making note of how much fabric is used, etc.  How could I turn that down!???  Of course, I couldn't!

So!  Now I am sewing a Harry Potter Horntailed dragon!  It will fit in with my second Harry Potter bookcase quilt, so I will be able to use the block, which will measure 20" x 10" when finished.  It's a very detailed pattern, LOTS of sections, but I am very excited about it.  Here's what it will look like when it is finished:  (This is Jennifer's version.)

Here are my chosen fabrics:  

My dragon will be greenish. The colors don't show true in this picture.  The center fabric looks purple-ish here but is a brown/black batik.  The left fabric is more of a dark green/olive batik.  The bottom fabric is for the book the dragon stands on.  Brown for "leather."






I got started right away and you can see my dragon-wing here.  So far so good, not hard at all.  I think the tricky part will come when trying to join the head section together, all those seams coming to a point.  We'll see!  I'm not that far yet.  This should take me a few days (or more?)
