Elyssa’s World
July 2010
Machine Pieced; Hand Quilted Wall Hanging
Based on Cinderella from: “Once Upon a Quilt“{to see click on page 7 of our Amazon Store} book by Bonnie Kaster
This seemed to be a “if anything can go wrong it will” quilt project. All the careful planning that went into the creation seemed to be for naught at times, but in the end it came out looking okay.Thew princess on the castle stairs is a photo of Elyssa printed onto fabric. Other elements in the quilt were cut from fabric or were iron on appliques. The coach wheels were crafted from one piece of fusible web backed fabric with buttons added for the hubs.The flowers on the staircase were glued on to cover up the ribbon, that was used to craft the stairs, that became somewhat melted during an ironing. The stars over the castle are glow in the dark, and there are small clear pale colored beads in the center of some of the snowflakes.
The “Once upon a Quilt” book has served as inspiration for grand kids youth quilt projects (Jadin’s World, Amarissa’s World, ). The patterns in the book are great and have good instruction to go with.
