This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Craftsy Block of the Month 2012 »

Instructions

I found a pattern online that I liked for paper piecing, and ironically a few days later I was on the October block! I haven't been making all the blocks, but rather learning the techniques, and I was thrilled to be able to start my Disney quilt with some great tips! I plan to make a bunch of the princesses and make a full quilt!
Here's a link to the patterns if anyone's interested! ...

I was thinking along the same lines of half the princesses and half "blank" squares with things like an apple, a majic wand, cinderellas slippers etc quilted on them in contrasting thread.

Yeah, sounds like a cool idea! Hmm, I dunno about doing them in the quilting tho, I'm just getting back into quilting (last time I did a quilt I was in high school, and we finished it with stitch in the ditch. Not sure I could free-motion those. I should try tho!) Maybe I'll see if I can find a paper-piece pattern for some of that stuff. PS: I talked to the girl who designed some of those patterns, and I might commission her to make a custom pattern of my daughter's face! :D Add that to the list of princess's!

They are the most complicated/time consuming, but I found it wasn't THAT hard... def harder than the October examples, but so worth it. Lol, a whole new world! ;) Yeah, I have bought material for 6 different princesses, with plans to buy more... not sure how big it will end up being, I'll probably do half these, and half something simpler for filler... ideas? I could do just some disney print patchwork or something, but I don't really want to go the commercialized route, if you know what I'm saying. :D
