Paper Piecing Party – Rapunzel

“Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!”



It’s Gina’s month for Wombat Stew and she chose “Fairy tales” as her theme. Rapunzel is my absolute favourite so had to feature in my block.



I used my favourite Color Weave for her hair – gives a nice bit of texture! She doesn’t have a face though – I’ll leave that up to Gina if she wants one on her or not!! Color Weave in cream is also the basis of most of the tower.



I couldn’t resist a bit of fussy cut text when I saw this line on one of the prints (I –think- it’s Madrona Road? Can’t remember!).

G loves ladybugs, so I fussy cut a little one down the bottom of the block. It looks like it’s ready to climb onto Rapunzel’s hair!



And I used a vine print to kind of represent the vines climbing up the towers. Not sure how successfully that worked but that was my intention!

She was a bit fiddly to put together – probably took nearly 3 hours but happy to say, not too much unpicking. Whew! Hope you like your block G!



So that’s my paper piecing adventures for today! Next up will be more Star Wars characters more likely!
