Rapunzel

Also for my DQS9 quilt. I've settled on a layout for my star and blocks thanks to all the lovely comments from my fellow swapees. I wanted to show all of my blocks but my laptop & I are not friends today so it's just this one. She's my fave though. I think the purple is a little strong for the overall fuchsia & orange colour of the quilt but I'm keeping her in anyway. Have to mix it up a little right? I think Rapunzel might just be my all time Heather Ross character favourite, just pipping Frederick the goldfish bowl fishing kitty at the post. It's not visible in this little scrap but at the bottom of Rapunzel's tower are teeny tiny hairpins.




I've also gotten this perle to do my hand quilting outlines. I had trouble finding the right colours in no. 8 so have gone with no. 5. It's pretty thick but I've bought some needle with suitably large eyes and am hoping for the best.
