Castles, dragons and wizards

Let us wander into the enchanted woods and find a castle...and a dragon...and a wizard...and a unicorn...and a giant, some bats, an owl, and other magical things.

I found this book at a quilt show a few years ago and fell in love with it. i saw it again a few weeks ago and pulled it off my bookshelf and onto my desk...where it sat for a couple more weeks. then yesterday i finally pulled some fabric, copied pages for paper piecing and took it home.

She has this cute sampler quilt shown in the book...along with a lot of mini quilts...ones made with just the dragon and the knight.....or with a good witch and bad witch...and others.

 
Last night i made the castle and the dragon....what fun. i am going to make all the elements and put them all together in a quilt...some little boy will dream of dragons when it is done.

Tonight i am making the wizard and the unicorn. stay tuned for more fun (and magic). the purple background is commercial fabric but the the rest is my hand dyes. great way to use up smaller pieces of fabrics.
