When I saw this castle pattern, I immediately thought of all of the little princesses in my life and set out to make something especially fun for a little girl's room -- a princess bow holder!
To make it, you'll want to follow the cutting directions in the castle pillow pattern, but omit the pieces set aside for the pillow backing. I used teal blue, yellow, and pink fat quarters for my castle.
Once you've constructed your castle, layer with your desired backing and batting, then quilt. I used an all over meander for mine. Trim as if ready for binding.
I then cut 5 pieces of pink ribbon slightly longer than each of the places that I wanted to add ribbon. I folded the ends under and sewed the ribbon to the mini quilt with a few forward and backward stitches across the width of the ribbon. For each of the four short pieces, I tacked the ribbon down at each end. For the long piece of ribbon, I tacked the ribbon down at each end and at two places along the length.
And voila -- your princess's bows have a royal place to stay neat and organized!

Highest on my wish list is energy to sew. I am so pregnant!!! But some goodies from the fqs to pet while I wait for more energy would be great too!
ReplyDeleteAdorable pattern, great tute! Know just the little girl who might like this. On my wish list is the desire to establish a nice, fun stash. I've always been a diehard scrap quilter and I think it would be fun to change things up a little, have some pretty fabric lengths to pull from for different projects.
ReplyDeleteThis is so precious! My quilty wish is to get some stuff done! :)
ReplyDeleteMy wish---that I could hand quilt as fast as I can machine quilt. Love the looks of both!

My wish list has new rotary blades on it.
ReplyDeleteBesides being able to magically become a superb free-motion quilter, I'd be happy to have a few days all alone to just sew my heart out. I'd have a few healthy meals delivered, someone to clean the house and keep the hampers emptied, along with a hunky doorman to let the dog in and out so I wouldn't be interrupted. (I could also use a few yards of wide backing fabric.)
ReplyDeleteMy quilting wish list is for a new set of rotary cutters
