The Rapunzel Quilt
Finished Quilt Top
Yay! This is my first craft project of the year — the Rapunzel quilt. I actually started this baby quilt last Fall, but without a clear recipient in mind, I put it off before finishing it.
75 feet by 2.5 inches
This quilt is made from a jelly roll of pale vintagy-looking peaches and yellows. I cut up the strips at random lengths, and sewed them into one long strip – 75 feet, in fact. This is how I came up with the name.
Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair...
I cut the long strip into 40 inch strips and sewed them together, making it 40 inches square. My quilt batting and backing material are in my sea shipment which I’ll receive when we move in the new apartment. Until then, I’m considering this quilt top done.
