Sometimes fabrics will inspire a quilt design – this was definitely the case for my fairy tale themed quilts. One tree fabric led to another and several sketches later, I had a collection.
When I saw this fabric, I instantly thought of doing a silhouette design of Rapunzel and the prince climbing her hair. I used a Grunge black fabric for the design and quilted the bricks and singles on the tower for added texture.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair
I did create two Rapunzel quilts – not identical but similar. I’m sharing this one first because it didn’t make the cut for the show (it’s tucked away for backstock) and I’m feeling the purple colors today.
love this! awesome & so pretty! thanks for sharing! 🙂
What!! Didn’t make the cut???? This one is spectacular…..what a genius you are to see that vision with the tree fabric. Don’t you just love grunge fabric. I just bought a mini charm pack in it today so I can see all the colors they offer.
